Ask three electricians about eicr — electrical safety checks on a new-build and you may get three answers. Ours is based on what the readings say. Materials and methods we spec on new-build house work: spare-way CU add; SPD retrofit inside the existing enclosure; OCPP-compliant charger onto the developer stub. Every property we attend in and around Ystrad Mynach gets the same order of operations, and it starts with establishing focus on the utility room or garage, the consumer. On 1970s estates around Hengoed it is worth ten minutes of anyone's time.
Questions asked during the visit get answered during the visit; there is no benefit to either of us in keeping it mysterious. Around CF82 it is the single most common reason a job runs long. The starting question with eicr — electrical safety checks on a new-build is always the same: what does the existing installation test at?
