EICR Edinburgh
Not sure what your legal responsibilities are when it comes to an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report)? Energize Electrical can help.
Are you a landlord or business owner?
Take the confusion out the requirements of an EICR in Edinburgh
EICR tests are a legal requirement for all business owners every 5 years. For landlords, EICRs are also a legal requirement but the guidance can be confusing. Edinburgh EICR testing must be carried out before every new tenancy, or at least every 5 years during an existing tenancy. If you have a number of properties, this can take a lot of your time. Energize Electrical are experienced and trusted electricians in Edinburgh who can conduct an EICR test for landlords as needed, making sure you have the reports you need to fulfil your legal obligations.
If you supply any movable electrical equipment in your units, you must also carry out PAT testing. This includes appliances like white goods such as fridges or washing machines, kitchen appliances, televisions, or any other electricals you supply to your tenants. We also offer PAT testing, so you have peace of mind that everything is sorted with as little faff as possible.

Are you a homeowner?
While it is not a legal requirement for homeowners to have an up-to-date EICR test, this may be required by your home insurance. Beyond that, it is also recommended that homeowners get an EICR test every 5-10 years to make sure everything is in proper working order.
You might be worried about how much disruption you have to deal with for EICR testing. Energize Electrical pride ourselves on being tidy and respectful of your home, minimising disruption wherever possible. We will carry out physical and visual inspections of all important wiring and sockets, letting you know what is up to standard and what needs improvement. If you need additional work done, we will help you arrange this at a time that suits you.

Fantastic team and would highly recommend them



The price was expensive however the box does look good.
The install was well scheduled and completed leaving a neat and tidy job with the Simpson & Partners box blending in to the house exterior. The down side was the Electrician had virtually no knowledge of how to set up the App and left me too my own devices !
I was then pointed in the direction of the supplier Simpson & Partners who helped with the App wi-fi set up, however there is limited guidance of how to interpret the App charging information.

After reading many reviews I settled on Energize Electrical. The owner of the business Neil Mclean came to my house the next day to asses my home for the installation. It was clear from the outset that this was a company that had a great deal of experience.
Neil at Energise Electical bent over backwards to find me a slot in their busy schedule and my Tesla Wall Connector was installed mid afternoon a few days later. The installation team were very polite and efficient and went the extra mile to ensure that I had the Tesla App installed and everything was up and running before they left.
I would have no hesitation in recommending this very efficient and professional company.




They provided a fair quote, and carried out the work quickly and efficiently, leaving things very neat and tidy 🙂
The staff were also super friendly and helpful. I plan to use them again!
