Hello everyone, Elliott Gilbert from Eagle Electrical here. The first wave of EICR regulations for rented properties… well, let’s just say it was a memorable time. Picture this: the world in lockdown, rules changing faster than a dodgy light switch, and suddenly, everyone needed electrical safety certificates. It was a bit like trying to learn a new dance in the dark while juggling flaming torches!
For many of you landlords and letting agents, finding a reliable electrician back then probably felt like searching for a decent signal in a rural blackspot. You could find an electrician easily enough, but one who turned up on time, spoke in a language you understood (no “megger readings” mumbo jumbo!), and actually had their ducks in a row with the paperwork? That was a different story. We heard tales of companies promising the earth but delivering, well, let’s just say less than stellar results, leaving you in a right pickle with overdue properties. Or perhaps you went with a great sole trader, fantastic on the tools but maybe a little less slick on the admin side.
But hey, we all learned a thing or two from that initial surge, didn’t we? At Eagle Electrical, we certainly did. We realised that just being good electricians wasn’t enough. You needed a service that was professional, efficient, and actually made your life easier. That’s why we’ve moved on from the days of deciphering handwritten reports that looked like they’d been penned on a rollercoaster.
Now, our engineers are armed with tablets, completing reports on-site with crystal-clear photos and even video walk-throughs for those trickier issues. No more guessing if that squiggly line on a page is a serious fault or just a coffee stain! We believe in keeping things simple and speaking your language. Because let’s be honest, some of the EICRs we’ve seen in the past might as well have been written in code! We train our team to explain findings clearly, so you know exactly what’s what without needing a degree in electrical engineering.
So, as we gear up for the next wave – roughly three months away, if you’re counting – let’s not repeat the frantic scramble of last time. Choosing the right electrical partner now can save you a whole lot of stress later.
