Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) in Hampshire

Staying compliant with the latest electrical safety standards is essential—especially for landlords, homeowners, and businesses. At Chase Farm Electrical, we offer comprehensive EICR reports in Southampton that ensure your property's electrical systems are safe, legal, and functioning as they should.

WHAT IS AN EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal document completed following an in-depth assessment of a property’s electrical system.

These inspections are designed to:

• Identify faulty or unsafe wiring
• Highlight outdated components (like old fuse boxes)
• Check for overloaded circuits or damaged accessories
• Verify that safety devices (e.g., RCDs) work correctly

We carry out EICRs across Hampshire for all property types—flats in Winchester, terraced homes in Waltham Chase, and HMOs in Portsmouth.

WHO NEEDS AN EICR AND WHEN?

Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020, landlords must obtain a valid EICR every 5 years—or when there’s a change in tenancy. Homeowners are advised to have an inspection:

• Every 10 years for owner-occupied homes
• Every 5 years for rented homes
• Prior to buying or selling a property

Tip: If your Southampton property hasn’t had an EICR in the last 5 years, you're legally obligated (if renting) and strongly advised (if selling or renovating) to act now.

WHAT DOES THE INSPECTION INVOLVE?

Our NICEIC-registered electricians perform a thorough multi-point inspection, including:

• Testing sockets, light fittings, switches, and consumer unit
• Verifying earth bonding to gas/water supplies
• Checking circuit loads and protective devices
• Ensuring compliance with BS 7671: 18th Edition Wiring Regulations

We use calibrated, industry-standard test equipment and provide a digital PDF report within 24 hours.

REPORT FINDINGS AND GRADING

The EICR will highlight any issues found and categorize them as:

C1 – Danger present (requires immediate attention)

C2 – Potentially dangerous (urgent action required)

C3 – Improvement recommended (not mandatory, but advised)

FI – Further Investigation needed

If issues are found, we provide a transparent quote for any necessary remedial work.

WHY HAMPSHIRE PROPERTIES OFTEN REQUIRE EICRs

Many homes in Hampshire—especially in older areas like Winchester Park or Twyford —were built before modern safety regulations. These properties often have legacy wiring or fuse boards without RCD protection. An EICR helps uncover hidden faults and protects both occupants and landlords from legal risks or fire hazards.

Consumer Unit (Fuse Box) Upgrades in Hampshire

Your consumer unit is the heart of your home's electrical system. If it hasn't been updated in the last 15–20 years, it's likely missing vital safety features. At Chase Farm Electrical, we specialize in consumer unit upgrades in Southampton to bring your home up to modern safety standards.

WHAT IS A CONSUMER UNIT?

Also known as a fuse box, the consumer unit distributes electricity throughout your home. A modern unit should contain:

• RCDs (Residual Current Devices) that instantly cut off power during faults
• MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers) for overload protection
• SPD (Surge Protection Devices) to guard against voltage spikes

If your current setup has rewireable fuses or lacks an RCD, it's time for an upgrade.

SIGNS YOU NEED A CONSUMER UNIT UPGRADE

• Tripping circuits or flickering lights
• Burn marks or a burning smell from your fuse box
• Frequent blown fuses
• Electrical work required for new appliances/extensions
• EICR recommends a C2 or C1 issue linked to the fuse board

WHAT'S INVOLVED IN A FUSE BOX REPLACEMENT?

Our NICEIC-certified electricians:

• Safely isolate your power
• Remove the old unit and install a new 18th Edition compliant board
• Conduct a full test of the installation
• Issue a digital certificate for your records

Installations typically take 4–8 hours, depending on the property size and existing wiring condition.

WHY CHOOSE US FOR FUSE BOX UPGRADES IN SOUTHAMPTON?

• 15+ years of experience upgrading units across Southampton, Portsmouth, Winchester
• All units installed to the latest BS 7671 wiring standards
• We explain every step and ensure your home is left spotless

Full & Partial Rewiring Services in Hampshire

Outdated or damaged electrical wiring can pose serious risks—including electric shocks, fire hazards, and failed inspections. At Chase Farm Electrical, we offer expert rewiring services in Southampton, ideal for homeowners, landlords, and renovators looking to future-proof their properties.

WHEN IS REWIRING NEEDED?

Typical signs include:

• Frequent tripping of circuit breakers
• Buzzing or crackling sounds from sockets
• Discoloured outlets or switches
• Presence of old rubber or fabric-insulated wiring
• No earthing or missing bonding to gas/water pipes

If your property is over 30 years old and hasn’t had a full electrical upgrade, it’s time to investigate.

OUR REWIRING PROCESS

• Initial site survey and safety assessment
• Full or partial rewiring of sockets, lighting, and consumer unit
• Surface or chased cable installation, tailored to your décor
• Testing, NICEIC certification, and post-job clean-up

We use low-disruption techniques and plan around your daily routine whenever possible.

LOCAL EXPERIENCE MATTERS

We’ve rewired countless homes in Portswood, Highfield, and Southampton city centre, tailoring our approach to property age and usage. Older Victorian and 1930s builds often require full rewiring to pass EICRs or comply with insurer demands.

TRANSPARENT PRICING

We offer fixed-price quotes, detailed breakdowns, and flexible payment options. For example:

1-bed flat: from £1,500

3-bed semi: from £2,500
