Answering your questions about electrical maintenance services

What is electrical maintenance?

Examples of electrical maintenance include:

• Cleaning electrical equipment

• Inspecting electrical appliances and equipment

• Replacing damaged wires/rewiring

• Electrical safety checks

• Checking lighting systems

• Repairing and replacing faulty equipment

Landlords are legally required to make sure their property's electrical equipment complies with safety standards and current regulations. Regular maintenance is also important for the energy efficiency and longevity of your home's electrical appliances.

How often should you do electrical maintenance?

Professional electrical maintenance is recommended every 5 - 10 years for domestic properties. Commercial properties are legally required to have an electrical installation condition report (EIRC) at least once every 5 years.

Landlords must receive an electrical safety certificate every 5 years. This document proves that the property's electrics have been professionally checked and tested.

What is the difference between electrical installation and electrical maintenance?

Electrical installations and electrical maintenance work are two different things. An electrical installation is the process of fitting a new electrical system. For example, fitting a new light fixture or adding new plug sockets to your home.

Electrical maintenance refers to the regular upkeep of your electrical appliances and systems. This can involve replacing damaged wires, cleaning appliances, inspecting circuits, and performing safety checks.

On Checkatrade, you'll only find trades who meet our high standards and pass up to 12 checks.
