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.

Edinburgh EICR testing - Energize Electrical

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.

I would highly recommend Energize Electrical for anyone looking for an electrician. They are very professional in their approach to the whole of the job from first contact through to completion, turned up for each scheduled appointment on time and carried out the installation of a security camera and light above the garage door very efficiently. All the staff are a pleasure to deal with.

The initial sales pitch was excellent, explaining the install and how the App would provide significant control over charging.
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.

I recently purchased an EV from Tesla in Edinburgh. I requested names of recommended Tesla installers any they pointed me in the direction of the Tesla website which provided me with list of recommended intallers in the Edinburgh area.

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.

I had Energize Electrical come to my rescue after being badly let down by another company to install an EV charger. Working with Energize Electrical was a breeze from start to finish. The customer service, workmanship and professionalism as well as their ability to provide pragmatic solutions was second to none. I won’t hesitate to recommend them!

I had a great experience with Energize Electrical. They upgraded my fuse board and sorted a few electrical issues in my flat, and everything was done to a really high standard. Communication was clear, responsive, and easy to deal with. They were always on time, reliable, and did exactly what they said they would. The guys who carried out the work were very approachable and went above and beyond, especially when dealing with a tricky issue they managed to find and replace. Really pleased with the quality of the work and would definitely recommend them to others.
