Fixed Wire Testing

At Lowe & Oliver we offer reliable fixed wire testing to establish the safety of electrical networks in all types of building. This includes the hard wiring, distribution panels, lighting, sockets, electrical plant, appliances and air conditioning units in accordance with the 17th Edition IET regulations supported by NIC EIC and ECA standards.

 

What Does A Fixed Wire Test Involve?

The survey includes a series of visual and electronic tests that probe the network for faults that could pose a safety risk. These could be frayed wiring, loose connections or excess heat detected by a thermal imaging survey.

With an understanding of all current electrical safety legislation, we carry out independent inspections that indicate all areas where your network deviates from regulatory norms. Our engineers will immediately advise you of any faults that require repair and will conduct any electrical servicing that may be required. On completion of the test you will be issued with a certificate of safety, which verifies your compliance under IET Wiring Regulations.

 

Avoiding Unnecessary Disruption

A fixed test involves full or partial shutdown of your electrical network while connections are tested. To minimise disruption to you and your service users, our engineers will liaise closely with you to arrange a convenient time for your test. We are happy to arrange fixed wire testing outside of business hours as required.

 

Certified Safety Inspections

We are happy to conduct testing on any installation, whether it is our own work or that of another supplier. In-house works are inspected and approved by our testing engineers, who produce Completion Certificates for each project. We also offer portable appliance testing, in compliance with Health & Safety regulations.

 

Testing

Our in-house team of electrical engineers are qualified to carry out an extensive range of safety and compliance tests on electrical infrastructure and appliances. Our inspections can ensure your appliances and infrastructure remain safe and compliant with all electrical safety legislation. We can also conduct regular testing to monitor the reliability of your infrastructure in order to improve energy efficiency.

 

Efficient Testing & Reliable Results

Our safety inspections are non-intrusive, making them ideal for incorporation as part of a planned preventative maintenance schedule. Our testing engineers are qualified to visually identify a large number of faults and hazards.

We also use a variety of testing devices to ensure precise results, including thermal imaging to identify heat loss and loose connections, and photographic surveys to diagnose defects before major faults occur. We can also monitor energy use over time to identify waste levels and suggest areas where efficiencies can be made.
