Electrical Test Certificate Ayr As of December 1st 2015, it became mandatory for all landlords in Scotland to ensure that an electrical safety inspection was carried out in their property by a professional electrician service at least every 5 years.

Test Your Appliances As a landlord, you have a duty of care when it comes to your tenants. You are responsible for making sure that all appliances you have supplied within the property have been PAT Tested by a qualified electrician, in order to provide an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). PAT tests ensure that all appliances are in good, working order. Without them, you could face a fine of up to £30,000.
If the Electrical Installation Condition Report highlights any faults, they must be investigated and solved by a professional electrician within 28 days of the initial inspection. You must then provide written confirmation to prove to your tenants that all faults have been fixed and that they meet current electrical safety standards.

Why Is Electrical Testing Important? Electrical testing is incredibly important in ensuring your tenants are safe when using the appliances you have supplied. When electrical appliances are used daily, their functions begin to change as they age. This means they could potentially cause issues such as an accidental shock or a house fire.
When we examine appliances, we test their functionality as well as check for frayed wires and the plug casing, among other things, to ensure they comply with electrical safety regulations. We then tag the device, deeming it safe to use until the next test which should be a year later, unless an issue arises before then. Making sure that your appliances are PAT tested reduces the risk of facing legal action if something goes wrong.
As qualified PAT testers, our professionals at John Fergus Electricians know exactly what to look for. We can help landlords keep tenants safe by making sure appliances are thoroughly tested and supplying the appropriate certification. Ensuring your tenants are safe is important in building a trusting relationship with them. Electrical fires due to faulty appliances are very common in the UK, but our team of professionals are here to help you and your tenants safe.
