Landlords & homeowners—this one’s for you 👇

With all the talk around plug-in solar, it might seem like a quick win…

But if you’re renting out a property:
⚠️ You have legal responsibilities for electrical safety
⚠️ Non-compliant systems could invalidate insurance
⚠️ Tenant safety is always the priority

Even as a homeowner, it’s worth checking before installing anything new.

If you want peace of mind, I’m just a message away 👍

Thinking about solar? Here’s the better way ☀️

Instead of plug-in panels, a properly installed system:
✔️ Is fully compliant with UK regulations
✔️ Connects safely to your consumer unit
✔️ Can actually maximise your savings
✔️ Protects your home and family

I always say—do it once, do it right.

If solar is something you’re seriously considering, I can guide you through the safest and most effective options.

No jargon, just honest advice 👍

Let’s talk safety (because it really matters) ⚡

These plug-in solar kits might look simple…
…but electricity isn’t something to guess with.

Potential risks include:
❌ Overloading circuits
❌ Backfeeding into the grid
❌ Fire hazards if not installed correctly

I completely understand wanting to save on bills—we all do right now.

But cutting corners with electrics can cost far more in the long run.

If you’ve bought one already or are thinking about it, I’m happy to take a look and advise 👍

Quick question I’m getting a lot right now…

“Tim, are plug-in solar panels actually legal in the UK?” 🤔

The answer is… it’s a grey area.

Most UK homes are not designed for plug-in generation systems, and:
⚡ Standard sockets aren’t intended for backfeeding electricity
⚡ There are strict regulations around grid connection
⚡ Incorrect setup could pose safety risks

Proper solar installs go through certified systems for a reason.

If you’re thinking about saving money on energy, let’s do it safely and properly 👍

Have you seen these plug-in solar panels popping up lately? 👀

They’re being talked about as a quick, affordable way to generate your own electricity just plug them into a socket and off you go…

BUT (and it’s an important but) ⚠️
In the UK, things aren’t quite that simple.

Before you buy or plug anything in, it’s really important to understand:
✔️ Safety regulations
✔️ Compatibility with your home electrics
✔️ Whether they’re actually compliant

If you’re curious or considering them, I’m always happy to give honest advice no pressure 👍

🚗⚡ EV Charging Points – Don’t Overlook Them

With more electric vehicles on the road, home chargers are being used more than ever—and that means more strain on your electrical system.

For landlords, it’s easy to focus on the EICR—but EV chargers also need regular checks to stay safe and compliant.

A yearly inspection helps:
✔ ensure safe operation
✔ reduce risk of electrical faults or fire
✔ extend the lifespan of the unit
✔ protect both tenants and property

If your property has an EV charger installed, it’s worth adding it to your annual maintenance checklist.

📞 Get in touch if you’d like yours checked.

🔌 EV Chargers Are a Growing Risk If Not Maintained

More tenants now expect EV charging at home—which is great—but it also means more electrical load on your system.

If your charger hasn’t been checked recently, you could be unaware of:
⚡ hidden faults
⚡ damaged charging cables
⚡ incorrect installation from previous work
⚡ lack of proper earthing protection

For landlords, this isn’t just about convenience—it’s about safety, liability, and protecting your investment.

An annual check is quick, straightforward, and gives you peace of mind that everything is working as it should.

If you’re unsure when yours was last inspected, just drop me a message.

⚡ Landlords – Do You Have an EV Charger Installed? ⚡

If your rental property has an EV charging point, it’s not just a “fit and forget” piece of equipment.

Just like the rest of your electrics, EV chargers should be checked regularly – ideally every year to ensure they are still safe and working correctly.

Over time, issues can develop such as:
• wear and tear on cables
• loose connections
• overheating risks
• faults caused by frequent use

As a landlord, you have a duty of care to keep tenants safe, and that includes any installed charging points.

A quick annual check can prevent bigger (and more expensive) problems down the line.

⚡ EICR Reminder for 2025–2026 ⚡

When the electrical safety rules changed in 2020, many rental properties had an EICR carried out at the same time.

That means a lot of those reports are now reaching their 5-year expiry.

An EICR is essentially a full health check for your property’s electrical system. It helps ensure your wiring, sockets, consumer unit and earthing are still safe and compliant.

It’s especially important for:
🏡 Landlords
🏠 Older properties
🔌 Homes with lots of modern electrical usage (EV chargers, hot tubs, home offices etc.)

If your report was done in 2020 or 2021, it may be time to book your renewal inspection.

If you’d like advice or a quote, just send me a message.

🔎 When was the last time your electrics were checked?

Many homes had their EICR done around 2020, when the regulations changed. That means a lot of properties are now reaching the 5-year renewal point.

Electrical faults are one of the common causes of house fires in the UK, which is why regular inspections are so important.

An EICR inspection can spot problems you might never notice, including:
⚡ deteriorating wiring
⚡ overloaded circuits
⚡ DIY electrical work that isn’t compliant
⚡ hidden faults behind sockets or consumer units

For landlords, it’s also a legal duty to renew the report every five years or when a tenancy changes.

If your property might be due, it’s worth getting ahead before letting agents and landlords all start booking at once.

⚡ Landlords & Homeowners – Quick Reminder ⚡

It’s hard to believe, but the Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) regulations came into force in 2020, which means many properties are now due for their 5-year inspection again.

If you had an EICR done when the regulations first came in, 2025–2026 is the time to renew it.

An EICR checks the safety of the electrical system in your property and helps identify issues such as:
• worn wiring
• overloaded circuits
• faulty earthing or bonding
• potential fire risks

For landlords, keeping your EICR up to date is also a legal requirement under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.

If you’re unsure when yours expires, feel free to message me and I’ll happily check and advise.
