When Should You Get an Electrical Inspection?
Although it is important to get your business or property regularly inspected and tested by reliable and experienced electricians as part of general electrical maintenance; there are several key moments when electrical inspection and testing is needed most.
These are:
- Before you commit to buying a house
- If your house is old and you have any concerns
- In preparation for, or after bad weather or a major storm
- If you rent your property, report any electrical issues to your estate/ letting agent or landlord immediately
- If you’re a landlord or letting agent, it is a legal requirement that electrical issues and concerns are considered a top priority. You must ensure that electrical fittings and installations are properly maintained and kept in safe working order
