UNDERSTANDING YOUR EICR

What is an Electrical Installation Condition Report?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection of your property’s wiring and systems, carried out by NICEIC-approved engineers. Through structured electrical testing, we identify hazards, measure performance, and recommend any required repairs or improvements. EICRs are essential for rental properties, businesses, and homeowners — providing a certified record of compliance and ensuring a safe, reliable electrical installation.

WHY ELECTRICAL TESTING MATTERS

Importance of Annual EICR Testing

Regular EICR testing is vital for spotting issues early and avoiding costly emergencies. By arranging annual electrical testing, you can ensure your installation remains compliant with regulations and continues to perform safely. An up-to-date EICR certificate not only protects your property but also demonstrates your commitment to tenant or employee safety. Preventative testing saves time, reduces repair bills, and provides reassurance that your system is in top condition.

WHY EICRs MATTER

Regular EICRs are vital for proactive maintenance, helping to identify and address potential electrical issues before they escalate. By conducting thorough assessments, through EICRs we can facilitate timely repairs, as a preventative approach to reduce emergency repair costs.

What’s included

The report includes photographic evidence, assessments of the installation’s condition categorised as C1, C2, F1, and C3, and recommendations for future inspections. Here’s an explanation of the categorisations.

C1

Immediate Danger

Indicates an immediate risk of electric shock or fire. It represents a situation that poses a direct threat to safety and requires urgent action, like exposed wiring or faulty connections, leading to electrical fires or electrocution.

C2

Potentially Dangerous

Signifies that the installation is potentially dangerous and could pose a risk if not addressed. For example, defective equipment or installations that do not meet current regulations but do not pose an immediate risk.

F1

Further Investigation

This code is used when the inspector encounters an issue that cannot be fully assessed during the inspection. There may be underlying problems needing additional analysis to determine the exact nature and risk level.

C3

Improvement Recommended

This classification suggests that improvements are recommended to enhance safety or compliance but do not indicate any immediate risk. These are on-critical issues that should be addressed in the future.

Who needs an EICR?

Anyone involved in property ownership or management, residential or commercial, can gain from an Electrical Installation Condition Report. An EICR ensures electrical safety and compliance, safeguarding your property and occupiers while helping to prevent costly repairs and liabilities. Our expert team conducts thorough inspections, provides detailed reports, and offers actionable recommendations to address any identified issues, ensuring your electrical systems are safe and efficient.

When do I need one?

If you’re purchasing or selling a home, an EICR can identify any electrical issues that need addressing before the transaction. This helps ensure safety and can prevent disputes later on.

Landlords must have a valid EICR before new tenants move in. This ensures the property’s electrical systems are safe for occupancy.

For rental properties, an EICR should be conducted at least every five years to ensure ongoing compliance with safety regulations.

If significant electrical work, such as rewiring or new installations, has been completed, an EICR is necessary to verify that the work meets current safety standards.

If you experience recurring problems like frequent circuit breaker tripping, flickering lights, or any electrical faults, an EICR can help identify underlying issues that need attention.

Incorporating EICRs into your routine maintenance schedule helps ensure your electrical systems remain safe, efficient, and compliant with regulations.

Some insurance policies may require an EICR to be up to date to ensure coverage, especially for rental properties.

Some local authorities may have specific requirements regarding the frequency of electrical inspections, particularly for rental properties.
