What’s the importance of an EICR?
Wires and cables often stay hidden inside your walls, while consumer units are usually concealed behind cupboards, where they are not immediately visible.
What you may not know is they are as susceptible to wear and tear as any other appliance in your house. An in-depth inspection will record dangerous deterioration, defects and damages, and suggest changes to correct the problems.
How often should EICRs be conducted?
An inspector will determine how frequent an EICR inspection should be done on a property. For example, for a rental property, inspections are carried out every five years as a standard. However, the inspector can recommend inspection be done every two or three years, depending on the circumstances.
As a general rule, inspections should be done every 10 years for private properties, 5 years for commercial (incl. laboratories, schools, offices, hotels, hospitals, restaurants) or rental properties, 3 years for caravans, leisure centres, theatres or industrial installations, or 1 year for swimming pools.
However, there are other instances that will require periodic inspection, such as when the property is being prepared to be let or sold, when the property was previously occupied, or when there’s reason to believe damage has caused damage to the building, like fire, flooding or earthquake
