Security
When you hire an ECA member, you can be assured of the proper design, installation and operation of electrical systems. The prequalification of potential members required by the ECA means consumers need not be concerned when using an ECA member.
Experience
The installation work of a potential member is inspected rigorously to ensure technical compliance with relevant national standards.
British Standards
All members must work to British Standards and other regulations and Codes of Practice relevant to the installation. For work falling within its scope, all members work to British Standards BS7671:1992, Requirements for Electrical Installations (The Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) Wiring Regulations).
Highest Qualified Electricians
ECA members employ only operatives who are properly qualified for the work they have to undertake. The Associations members have access to over 50 business development training courses.
Informed Contractors
Each ECA member receives a three part Contractors' Manual, with monthly updates, providing essential information on such matters as legal obligations, health and safety, new technologies and quality assurance.
Fairness
The ECA Code of Fair Trading has been registered with the Office of Fair Trade. It sets out the principles which ECA members have agreed to follow and covers such aspects as quotations and fair trading.
