As Edinburgh’s premier electrician firm, the safety of our customers remains of the utmost importance to us and all of our expert electrician team. The Scottish electrical certification system was implemented to make sure that all electrical work carried out (be it commercial or residential), is done so to the highest possible standards. It also helps ensure that the standards are both replicated & maintained across the industry as a whole. 

The type of electrical testing that is available and in some cases is required (for rental properties for instance) is varied but as Edinburgh’s number one electrician team we are only too happy to help identify which ones apply to you and your property. It is worth noting that if any electrical work is undertaken at your Edinburgh property then it is important that you keep any paperwork relating to this for your records, especially if it relates to electrical testing. It is an essential part of property administration and we do advise that if possible, you record all schedules of work, test results and outcomes of any electrical work completed.

Here at DC Electrical Edinburgh we are NICEIC registered electricians which ensures that all electrical installation, maintenance and home rewire work we complete is fully certified and accredited to the highest of professional standards. The gold level of electrical reporting comes in the form of EICR (electrical installation condition reports). This testing system not only ensures industry wide excellence but is also vital if you are a commercial property owner who rents out a property to a tenant or business. The Landlords and Tenants Act of 1985 clearly states that the electrical safety of tenants is the responsibility of the landlord and property owner and as such a full and thorough electrical inspection is required every five years or with each change of tenancy agreement. Alongside EICR testing, our expert Edinburgh electricians also cover all areas of electrical maintenance, testing and safety including portable appliance testing which is often referred to as PAT testing. PAT testing is another legally required form of electrical testing which involves the inspection and testing of appliances and equipment (think washing machines. dishwashers, microwaves for residential tenancies & printers, photocopies and vending machines for commercial tenancies). Alongside EICR reporting and PAT testing we also offer emergency lighting certification, emergency fire alarm certification, smoke, heat and alarm testing as well as minor work certification.
