ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TESTING
AND LEGAL REQUIREMENTS
At work, the responsibility for keeping yourself, your employees and your clients safe is clear and, alongside the legislative requirement to do so, fixed wire testing and other electrical system testing should be considered regularly for matters of safety, and environmental responsibility.
A WIDE RANGE OF ELECTRICAL TESTING SERVICES
The responsibility for landlords and employers, including the self-employed, for a safe work place is laid out in the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974, and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. These guidelines cover the requirement to inspect and test all electrical equipment regularly.
At AC Gold Electrical Services, we offer electrical system testing including fixed wire testing, EICRs, EPCs, and PAT tests as well as related services such as Asbestos management. From surveys and certifications to regular maintenance services, we can provide you with the peace of mind that your property is safe, efficient and legal.
Details of how often your property should be tested can be found below.
Electronic Testing Certification for all customers!
We have recently introduced a company wide electronic test system enabling us to properly oversee and ensure our customers electrical compliance is always correct and up to date. This has been popular with all existing customers proving to be a very simple and robust paperless certification system.
EICRs & Fixed Wire Testing
Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICR) is essential for homes and businesses in order to ensure a safe electrical infrastructure in a property. Among our wide range of electrical and M&E services, AC Gold is fully qualified to carry out the required fixed wire testing needed to issue an EICR certification.
Our end-to-end service will amend any unsafe installations to ensure safety and to provide you with your EICR certification.
You should keep on top of EICR certification with testing carried out every 5-10 years depending on whether your property falls under the domestic or commercial sector.

PAT Service
(Portable Appliance Testing Service)
We are specialists in Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) and provide a professional, efficient and reliable PAT testing service designed to cause minimal disruption to the daily activities of our clients, their tenants, staff or building occupants.
EPCs
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) provides information on a property’s energy efficiency and environmental impact, along with recommendations for upgrades which will help improve the building’s energy performance rating. EPC’s have been introduced as part of a European directive to help improve the energy efficiency of properties and the environmental impact that the energy used to heat, light and power properties have. AC Gold Energy can carry EPC surveys for you to help ensure your property is as efficient as possible.
Asbestos Management
Asbestos management is a legal requirement for owners of commercial premises under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. As tradespeople working within the fabric of buildings on a daily business, our team is very aware of the Health and Safety risk that Asbestos can pose. At AC Gold Electrical Services our entire workforce is continually trained in Asbestos awareness and AC Gold Asbestos procedures.
