Therefore, a new electrical certificate must be obtained when alterations or additions are made to the electrical installation.
This depends on the size of the property, the number of electrical circuits and if issues are identified during the electrical inspection. An electrical installation with no faults can take 2-5 hours, while an installation with faults could take several days to complete.
An electrical certificate is a legal requirement drafted by the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OHSA) that is placed upon the owner of a property who must ensure their electrical installation is safe and does not pose a threat to any human and animal or the property.
