ICR (Electrical installation condition report)
Since April 19 it has been a legal obligation for landlords of rented property to get a qualified electrician to perfume an ECIR. This is a very thorough inspection and evaluation of the overall condition of the electrical installation. From this report any areas of safety concern can be highlighted and the recommended or essential remedial works can be carried out.
EICR reports are not just for landlords, if you are a property owner and your property is out of date or has an electrical installation that you think may be of concern, it is advisable to have your installation fully tested in order to ensure your household and family is kept safe from potential electric shock or fires.
At Green Earth Sussex we always recommend fully testing an installation before major works are carried out in order to gain a clear picture of what should be upgraded and what is perfectly safe as it is, in order to avoid issues later on.
Depending on the size of the property these EICR take around half a day to perform, on large houses with multiple circuits that can take up to a day. Green Earth Sussex have set fees for EICRs depending on the number of bedrooms in the property. Please contact us today for a free quote.
PAT Testing (Portable appliance testing)
Using specialist testing equipment, we are able to test the electrical safety of appliances within your property. Currently this is recommended for landlords but it is not obligatory.
A sticker is stuck on the appliance to say that it is electrically safe to use.

Air source heat pumps
Green Earth Sussex is working along side LGS plumbing and heating who is your local MCS certified air source heat pump (ashp) installers in Brighton, hove and Sussex.
Attracting a large amount of media attending at the moment, ASHPs are an alternative and potentially low carbon way of heating your home. Essentially they are large air conditioning units working in reverse using latent heat from the air, pushing it through a compressed refrigerant gas heat exchange, producing hot water that can be used to heat the water and heating (via underfloor heating or radiators) in your home. These units are very high efficiency and providing you have a very well insulated home can provide a very cost and carbon efficient heat source.
Government grants
They are certainly not for every home and work well with modern homes and especially with wet underfloor heating. Currently the government is offering a generous repayments scheme for houses that have heat pumps installed The repayments can be as much as £11,000, although these payments are spread out over a 7 year period. At the time of writing the government has announced a new incentive starting in April 2022 whereby a £5000 grant will be offered to qualifying households.
We have experience installing a wide range of heat pumps including:
- Mitsubishi Ecodan
- Valliant Aerotherm
- Grant
- Daikin
We are also MCS certified under the LGS banner for our solar installations. MCS is an industry-led quality assurance scheme, which demonstrates the quality and reliability of approved products and installation companies.
Whilst there is a large chunk of electrical work involved in the installation of heat pumps we work closely with our sister company LGS plumbing and heating LTD www.lgsplumbingandheating.co.uk to ensure a straight forward and seamless heat pump installation.
