All electricians have been assessed to make sure their membership with the National Examination Council for Electrical Installation Contracting and only NICEIC registered members are permitted to promote on their site.

They have been assessing the competence of electricians for over 50 years. NICEIC’s objective is to save everyone who uses power from unsafe electrical installations. To obtain this, they keep a register of qualified and competent persons.

Electricians register to them are approved to self-certify their electrical work without obstruction from local authority building control. This saves you money and time when carrying out work that needs warning under the Building Regulations.

They operate independent complaints handling. If the electrical work of a registered engineer is found to be below the accepted professional standard, they require the specialist to fix the work, at no additional cost to the customer. The National Examination Council for Electrical Installation Contracting is treated solely with the safety and industrial standard of the work carried out by authorized electricians, and the requirement for certification and periodic inspection reports which approved electricians are responsible for producing.

They expect its registered electricians to provide a quality service to their customers and, therefore, attempt to resolve all complaints about the technical requirement of their electrical work. If a consumer and an authorized electrician are unable to fix a stated deficiency in the professional standard of electrical work, the client can make a complaint to NICEIC. They will help with the settlements between the complainant the contractor.

Enrolment with NICEIC is voluntary, however electricians that are competent and reliable about the service they offer consumers would consider it a priority to register. Over 20,000 electrical engineers are registered by NICEIC, covering the UK, including Northern Ireland.

There are lots of advantages of using an NICEIC-registered electrician. NICEIC has been examining the technical skills of specialists to protect everyone who uses electrical power from hazardous electrical installations in their houses, workplaces and leisure.
