When it comes to the safety and well-being of your home or rental property, electrical inspections should be a top priority. Whether you’re a homeowner or a landlord, regular inspections ensure that your property is up to standard, safe, and compliant with the latest regulations. TNS Electrical Services, based in Warwickshire, provides thorough and professional inspections for both domestic and rental properties, giving you peace of mind that your electrical systems are functioning optimally and safely.
Why Regular Electrical Inspections Matter
Electrical systems are essential to modern living, yet they can pose significant risks if not properly maintained. Faulty wiring, outdated installations, or overloaded circuits can lead to electrical fires, electric shocks, and other dangerous hazards. Regular inspections help identify and rectify these issues before they become major problems.
At TNS Electrical, our team of qualified electricians ensures your property’s electrical installations meet current safety standards, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring your property remains compliant with legal requirements.
Electrical Inspections for Homeowners
For homeowners, regular electrical inspections are a vital part of property maintenance. Whether you’re moving into a new home or have been living in your property for years, having your electrical systems checked ensures everything is up to date and functioning safely.
Our domestic inspections include:
- Checking the condition of your wiring, sockets, and light fixtures
- Inspecting fuse boxes, circuit breakers, and RCD protection
- Ensuring your home meets the latest safety regulations
- Identifying any potential hazards or areas that need upgrading
By conducting these inspections, TNS Electrical helps homeowners avoid costly repairs down the line and ensures the safety of everyone in the household.
Electrical Inspections for Rental Properties
Landlords have a legal obligation to ensure the electrical installations in their rental properties are safe for tenants. The introduction of the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020 means landlords must ensure their properties meet strict safety standards.
TNS Electrical offers comprehensive inspections for rental properties, including:
- Performing Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs)
- Testing and inspecting all electrical installations and appliances
- Identifying any urgent or recommended repairs
- Issuing certification of compliance with legal standards
Having an EICR is now a legal requirement for all rental properties, and landlords must provide their tenants with proof that their property is safe. By choosing TNS Electrical for your inspections, you can rest assured that your property is fully compliant, avoiding potential fines and ensuring tenant safety.
How Often Should You Have an Electrical Inspection?
For homeowners, it’s recommended to have an electrical inspection every 5 to 10 years, or sooner if you notice any issues with your electrical systems. However, for rental properties, the law requires an EICR to be carried out at least every five years or at the beginning of a new tenancy.
In addition to the mandatory five-year inspections for landlords, TNS Electrical also advises having more frequent checks if your property is older or if any significant electrical work has been carried out recently. Regular inspections provide reassurance that your property is always safe and up to code.
