Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an essential safety check of your property’s electrical system, identifying potential hazards and ensuring that the electrical installation complies with the latest safety regulations.
Why Do You Need an EICR?
-
Safety: An EICR helps detect faults and risks within the electrical installation that could cause fires, electrocution, or equipment damage.
-
Compliance: Landlords are required by law to carry out an EICR at least every 5 years to ensure their property is safe for tenants. It’s also a legal requirement for some types of insurance.
-
Peace of Mind: Regular inspections provide confidence that your electrical installation is safe and meets regulatory standards.
What Does an EICR Include?
-
Inspection of Circuits: A thorough review of all wiring, outlets, and electrical components in the property.
-
Testing: We check the safety and functionality of all electrical installations, including the consumer unit (fuse board), wiring, and earthing.
-
Report and Recommendations: You’ll receive a comprehensive report detailing the condition of your electrical system, with recommendations for any necessary repairs or upgrades.
How Often Do You Need an EICR?
-
Landlords: Every 5 years or at the start of a new tenancy.
-
Homeowners: It’s recommended every 10 years or when buying or selling a property.
-
Commercial Properties: An EICR should be conducted every 5 years or after any significant electrical work.
