EICR – Electrical Installation Condition Report

What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a comprehensive assessment designed to identify potential dangers in your property’s electrical system. This inspection evaluates the overall safety and condition of the electrical installations, ensuring they meet the required standards. It is essential that an EICR is conducted by fully qualified, insured, and experienced electricians who can properly assess the condition of your system.

During an EICR, several critical tests are performed to evaluate the electrical systems in your property. These include earth measurement readings, bonding tests, continuity checks of protective conductors, ring circuit continuity, insulation resistance, polarity testing, earth fault loop impedance, RCD (Residual Current Device) tests, and visual inspections of circuits.

Our certified electricians bring extensive experience in diagnosing and identifying faults across electrical systems in a variety of properties, ensuring the safety and functionality of your installations.

How long will an EICR take and how much will it cost?

The time required to perform your assessment will depend on the size of your property. On average an EICR takes around 4-6 hours.

Why do I need an EICR?

All properties need regular electrical testing to stay safe. The time between tests depends on the type of property. For the best safety, tests should be done at these intervals:

Domestic Property: 10 years
Rented Houses: 5 years
