FCR had the pleasure of providing our client Motor Range in Liverpool with their 5 yearly EICR electrical inspection.
Why do you need to carry out an EICR?
An EICR or Electrical Inspection Condition Report is a type of report that evaluates the condition of your electrical installation for safe continued use. Usually an EICR is recommended every five years although it is best to check with your business insurance provider as this can change, we have seen some request an EICR carried out every three years. Caravan sites it is recommended every 12 months!
Out Of Hours
This project had to be carried out during the hours that the business is closed. Their opening hours are 9.00am to 8.00pm. There are also many computers in the building so special care needed to be taken to avoid any damage or loss of data.
Who Are Motor Range?
Motor Range are a car and van sales outlet based on Dunnings Bridge Road in Merseyside. They are Merseyside’s largest motor vehicle stockists with over 1500 vehicles on site. Their sales staff are experts in the motor industry and were very helpful and friendly to our staff whilst carrying out our EICR. If you are in the market for a new van or car you can check them out here https://www.motorrange.co.uk/
Our electrical technicians carried the inspection work out over 4 nights along with a further day in our office typing up the report.
Whilst completing the inspections, it was agreed with the Motor Range management that any remedials found that needed repairing would be carried out at the same time, this will help with cost as all work had to be carried out during closed hours.
The electrical installation was a new installation being carried out in 2016, the original electrical contractor did a great installation using quality wiring accessories such as Schneider distribution boards and MK sockets and switches. Using quality wiring accessories helps with keeping maintenance costs down in the long run as they are durable and have a longer life under heavy usage.
On completion of the EICR we issued a satisfactory certificate which is valid for 5 years
