What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a comprehensive assessment that evaluates the safety and condition of your property's electrical installations. This detailed inspection examines all fixed electrical systems, including wiring, sockets, light fittings, consumer units, and all other permanent electrical installations.
The primary purpose of an EICR is to identify any potential hazards or defects in your electrical system that might not be immediately apparent. These inspections reveal issues such as:
- Deteriorated or damaged wiring and components
- Overloaded circuits that pose fire risks
- Lack of earthing or bonding protection
- Non-compliant installations that fail to meet current British Standards
- Potential electric shock risks and fire hazards
Upon completion, you'll receive a thorough report categorising any defects found using a clear coding system:
- C1 (Danger Present): Immediate risk requiring urgent attention
- C2 (Potentially Dangerous): Urgent remedial action needed
- C3 (Improvement Recommended): Not dangerous but improvements advised
For landlords, EICRs are now legally required every five years under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020. For homeowners, while not legally mandated, we recommend having an EICR conducted every 10 years, or when purchasing a property that's over 10 years old.
