ELECTRICAL SAFETY SERVICES
CHECKING THE ELECTRICS THAT HELP KEEP YOUR PROPERTY SAFE
Electrical problems aren't always visible. Wiring, connections and protective equipment can deteriorate or develop faults while continuing to appear normal during everyday use.
Professional electrical testing provides a more detailed picture of an installation's condition. Whether you're concerned about an older property, responsible for a rental home or simply want your electrics properly assessed, North Down Electrics provides testing and safety services throughout Bangor and North Down.
EICR ELECTRICAL TESTING
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) assesses the condition of a property's fixed electrical installation and identifies defects or areas requiring attention.
Testing goes beyond what can be established through a simple visual inspection and can uncover electrical problems that may otherwise remain unnoticed.
Electrical Inspection & Testing
The fixed electrical installation is professionally inspected and tested to assess its condition and identify electrical safety concerns.
Identifying Electrical Defects
Testing can highlight deterioration, unsuitable equipment, damaged wiring and other issues that may require further investigation or remedial work.
Clear Electrical Reports
Following the inspection, the findings are recorded so you have a clearer understanding of the condition of the electrical installation and any work that may be required.
LANDLORD ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Landlords have additional responsibilities when providing a safe home for tenants. Electrical testing can help establish the condition of a rental property's fixed electrical installation and identify defects requiring attention.
North Down Electrics has experience carrying out EICRs for rental properties and completing associated electrical and alarm upgrades for landlords.
Rental Property EICRs
Professional inspection and testing of the fixed electrical installation within rental properties.
Electrical Remedial Work
Where an inspection identifies electrical defects, we can discuss the work required to address the issues found.
Property Safety Upgrades
Electrical testing can also provide an opportunity to review other relevant electrical safety equipment within the property.
SMOKE, HEAT & CO ALARMS
Smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarms are an important part of protecting people within the home. Different areas of a property can require different types of detection, making correct selection and positioning important.
North Down Electrics installs and upgrades domestic alarm equipment, including interconnected systems designed to provide warnings throughout the property.
Smoke & Heat Alarms
Installation and replacement of appropriate smoke and heat detection equipment within domestic properties.
Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Installation and upgrading of carbon monoxide detection where required within the home.
Interconnected Alarm Systems
Suitable alarms can be linked so that when one detector activates, warnings can be provided elsewhere within the property.
ELECTRICAL FAULTS AREN'T ALWAYS EASY TO SEE
A property can appear to be functioning normally while still having an electrical defect that requires attention.
During previous EICR work, North Down Electrics has identified issues including deteriorating cable insulation and potentially dangerous voltage at a switch where there were no obvious outward signs of a problem.
This is why proper inspection and testing can be valuable when assessing the condition of an existing electrical installation.

DETAILED ELECTRICAL TESTING
Testing helps assess the parts of an electrical installation that can't be judged simply by looking at sockets, switches or a consumer unit.
CLEAR EXPLANATION OF FINDINGS
If problems are identified, we'll explain what has been found and what electrical work may be needed rather than leaving you with technical information you don't understand.
REMEDIAL ELECTRICAL WORK
Where appropriate, North Down Electrics can also carry out electrical repairs and improvements arising from the findings of an inspection.
HOMEOWNERS & LANDLORDS

ELECTRICAL TESTING FAQs
QUESTIONS ABOUT EICRs & ELECTRICAL SAFETY IN BANGOR
Answers to common questions about electrical inspections, EICRs and domestic electrical safety.
WHAT IS AN EICR?
An EICR, or Electrical Installation Condition Report, is a professional assessment of the condition of a property's fixed electrical installation. Inspection and testing are used to identify defects, deterioration and other issues that may require attention.
DO I NEED AN EICR IF MY ELECTRICS APPEAR TO BE WORKING?
Electrical faults aren't always accompanied by obvious symptoms. Professional testing can identify problems that may not be apparent through normal use or visual inspection.
DO YOU CARRY OUT EICRs FOR LANDLORDS IN BANGOR?
Yes. North Down Electrics carries out EICRs for landlords and rental properties. Previous work has also included completing alarm upgrades alongside rental-property electrical inspections.
WHAT HAPPENS IF AN EICR FINDS A PROBLEM?
The report records the findings of the inspection. Where defects or areas requiring attention are identified, we can explain the issues and discuss any appropriate remedial electrical work.
CAN YOU CHECK AN OLDER HOUSE BEFORE I START RENOVATING?
Yes. Having the electrical installation assessed can be particularly useful before significant renovation or improvement work, as it can help establish the condition of the existing electrics before other work progresses.
DO YOU INSTALL SMOKE, HEAT AND CARBON MONOXIDE ALARMS?
Yes. North Down Electrics installs and upgrades smoke, heat and carbon monoxide alarms, including suitable interconnected domestic alarm systems.
