A Domestic and Commercial Electrical Installation (DCEI) is the process of installing electrical systems in both residential and commercial properties
Electrical installations in homes, dwellings, and individual units in apartment buildings, care homes, and student accommodation
Electrical installations in non-residential properties and facilities, such as offices, factories, warehouses, hospitals, care homes, and schools
EPCs are a mandatory requirement whenever a property is sold, rented, or built in the UK. Whether you are a homeowner, landlord, or property developer, it’s crucial to understand when and why you need an EPC.

The UK’s national standard for electrical installation and wiring safety is British Standard BS 7671, also known as the IET Wiring Regulations. These regulations apply to all types of electrical installations, including domestic, commercial, and industrial properties.
BS 7671 is a legal requirement, and non-compliance can lead to legal consequences. Electricians must ensure they are up-to-date with the current standards to maintain compliance.
Here are some key points regarding UK regulations for DCEI:
Set standards for electrical installation work in dwellings, such as houses and flats
Cover electrical installation work in industrial or commercial buildings
EPCs also offer recommendations for improving a property’s energy efficiency. While these recommendations are not compulsory, they can be valuable for both buyers and sellers.
Domestic is for homes; commercial is for businesses and industrial spaces with higher power needs.
Frequent outages, outdated wiring, or adding high-demand appliances indicate it's time for an upgrade.
Every 5-10 years for homes, and every 3-5 years for commercial properties.
Lighting, outlets, smart systems, and panel upgrades.
Office wiring, machinery setup, and energy-efficient lighting.
A few hours for simple home projects; weeks for large commercial jobs.
