An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a thorough inspection of your electrical installation. The process involves a visual inspection of the electrical system, checking for damage and deterioration to the accessories and wiring, after the visual inspection we then carry out electrical tests on each and every circuit to get a suitable understanding of the condition of the electrical installation. At the end of the inspection we will provide a full certificate detailing our findings which you can then provide to any necessary parties i.e. Insurance Companys, Mortgage Lenders, Estate Agents etc.

An EICR has two outcomes: Satisfactory, where the installation is good to go and ready for more years of service, or, Unsatisfactory, where the installation requires abit of TLC to bring it up to standards. In the event of an unsatisfactory test we will document all findings which will be attached to the certificate and will provide a free no-obligation quotation for the remedial work to be completed.

EICR's are a great way to find out exactly where your installation stands and if your property needs any electrical works to be undertaken. Typically we recommend undertaking an EICR if you're thinking about purchasing a property, are having issues with your exisiting installation or plan on having any major works undertaken i.e. fusebox changes, partial rewires etc.

As of the 1st of June 2020 it is now a legal requirement that all rental properties should have an electrical inspection every 5 years or change of occupancy. Although there is no legal requirement it is also recommended that privately owned property should be tested every 10 years or on the sale of the property. These inspections, officially known as Electrical Installation Condition Reports or EICRs, are required to be carried out by a qualified, competant electrician.

If you require an EICR to be completed please get in touch and we will be happy to help.
