What is an EICR Certificate?

An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is a detailed assessment of your property’s electrical systems, ensuring that the wiring and electrics meet current safety standards. This certificate is also known as a Landlord Safety Test, Electrical Safety Certificate, or Homebuyer’s Test.

Whether you own a business or domestic property, having a valid and up-to-date EICR is essential for compliance and safety, especially if you rent out the property. For landlords, EICR is a legal requirement to ensure that tenants are protected from electrical hazards.

Who Needs An EICR?

For landlords or those renting out properties, the law requires an EICR inspection every 5 years or sooner if indicated in your most recent report.

For homeowners it is highly recommended you have an EICR inspection for your home every 3 years to ensure your electrical systems remain in safe working order.

Commercial properties may need more frequent inspections, depending on their usage and the specifics of the last EICR report.

Buyers and Sellers may also be requested by their solicitor or lender to provide an EICR when buying, selling, renewing a lease, or finalising a rental agreement.

Your Happiness Is What Counts

FAQ’s

Some of the most frequent questions we get asked.

Our engineer will conduct a visual inspection of items and both together perform fixed wire testing.

Some of the things we will be looking for during the inspection include:

  • Both main supply and supplies to distribution boards
  • Signs for overheating
  • Visual inspection of electrical equipment throughout the electrical system

On average, an EICR inspection takes one to four hours. The length of the test depends on the size of the property, the accessibility of electrical systems and the number of electrical equipment, among other factors.

If your EICR report reveals issues with your electrical system, the results will come out as “Unsatisfactory,” meaning there is remedial work to be done. Our electricians are also able to provide a fixed price quotation for the remedial work.

The validity of an EICR depends on the assessment report and engineer’s recommendations.

It is typically valid for 5 years, unless an early inspection is recommended by the engineer based on his findings and observations in the report.

What is an EICR Certificate?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report is known as an EICR. It is a periodic inspection of the electrical installation in a property.

Once you’ve had the electrical installation checked, the electrician will issue a certificate which will

  • Record the results of the inspection and testing to make sure the electrical installation is safe to be used until the next inspection (following any work needed to make it safe).
  • Record any damage and wear and tear that might affect safety, and report it.
  • Report any parts of the electrical installation that do not meet the national standard to which all domestic wiring must conform.
  • Provide a record of the installation at the time of the inspection, and for inspection testing in the future.

The main reason to have an EICR is for safety. You cannot see electricity, and, in most cases, you cannot view the cables as they are often hidden inside walls, most consumer units are located in cupboards, where they are not immediately visible.

Faulty and old wiring is one of the main causes of electrical fires in the home. You can reduce the risk of a fire if you regularly book an EICR that a qualified electrician conducts.

It is highly recommended you have an EICR inspection for your home every 3 years. When selling your home, most buyers will ask for a recent EICR to ensure the property is safe.

Landlords must have an EICR for all properties they rent to tenants. The EICR should be completed every 12 months or every change of tenant. If you are a landlord, book us to complete an electrical inspection and issue the paperwork you require.

How Long Does An EICR Take?

On average, an EICR inspection takes one to four hours. The length of the test depends on the size of the property, the accessibility of electrical systems and the number of electrical equipment, among other factors.

Additional inspection may be required, depending on the electrician’s findings from the comprehensive assessment.
