What are my responsibilities as a landlord regarding electrics?

Landlords are required to ensure their property meets satisfactory condition standards for renting, which includes passing an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). Up-to-date wiring is essential for a property to pass an EICR and meet the necessary safety standards.

Is it advisable to DIY electrical repairs?

While homeowners may notice electrical issues and handy individuals might feel confident about fixing them, it's crucial to understand that electrical work is not suited for DIY. Unlike handymen, electricians undergo extensive training and certification processes to obtain a licence, ensuring the expertise needed for safe and effective repairs.

Will electrical testing cause significant power disruption?

Anticipate a brief power outage on each circuit during testing; however, since the majority of the testing occurs while the system is live, these interruptions can be strategically planned to minimise disruption to your daily activities.
