Electrical safety in your home

To ensure the safety of our tenants, all of our properties undergo electrical testing once every five years. Periodic Electrical Testing is essential to ensure that the electrical system in your home is safe and in good working order. Testing will accurately identify faults, which we will fix at the time of the inspection. It’s really important that when our contractor contacts you to carry out an electrical test you make an appointment, and if you need to rearrange your appointment, you contact us to let us know.

In between our tests there are lots of ways to make sure that you are using your electrical appliances safely.
