Homeowners do not have a legal requirement to carry out an EICR. However, experts strongly recommend testing every 10 years, or sooner when buying, selling or if any concerns arise. This helps ensure ongoing safety and reliability.

An Electrical Installation Condition Report, also known as an EICR, checks the safety and condition of your property’s electrical system. During the inspection, we look for faults, damage, deterioration and potential safety risks before they become serious problems.

The report also helps confirm whether your electrics meet current UK regulations, including BS 7671. As a result, you get a clear understanding of your installation and any work needed to keep it safe.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN AN EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report follows a clear, structured process. Throughout the inspection, we assess the safety and condition of your electrical system step by step.

VISUAL INSPECTION

To begin with, we carry out a detailed visual check of the installation. This involves examining wiring, sockets, switches and other components for visible signs of damage, wear or deterioration.

ELECTRICAL TESTING

After that, we complete a series of electrical tests. These include insulation resistance testing, earth loop impedance testing and continuity testing. By doing this, we can uncover hidden faults that may not show during a visual inspection.

OBSERVATIONS

As we move through the inspection, we record any issues we find. These may include defects, damage or general deterioration that could affect safety. We also flag anything that does not meet current regulations.

RECOMMENDATIONS

Once testing is complete, we provide clear and practical recommendations. These outline any work needed to improve safety or bring the installation up to standard.

UNDERSTANDING EICR CLASSIFICATION CODES

Each issue in the report is assigned a classification code. This allows you to quickly understand the level of risk and what action is required.

• C1 – DANGER PRESENT:
  This shows an immediate risk. You must fix the issue straight away before using the system again.
• C2 – POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS:
  This points to a problem that could become dangerous. You should address it as soon as possible.
• C3 – IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDED:
  This suggests an upgrade or improvement. Although it is not unsafe, improving it will enhance overall safety.
• FI – FURTHER INVESTIGATION REQUIRED:
  This means the issue needs more detailed checks. Further testing will confirm the full extent of the problem.
