What is an EICR?
An electrical installation condition report is a professional assessment of the quality and integrity of the electrical components in your property. This assessment is carried out by an electrician who should have several qualifications.
First, the electrician must have completed a course on periodic electrical inspections. They should also be registered with an organisation, like the Joint Industry Board. Finally, they should have plenty of experience working with electrical installations.
Why Do You Need an EICR?
As of Juy 1st 2020, landlords legally have to ensure the safety of the electrics in their property for new tenancies through an EICR. An EICR is needed to make sure that any property, commercial or residential, is safe. If you are a letting agent or owner of numerous properties, consider setting up an account with our business site Prop Cert.
All properties eventually need EICRs, as damaged is accrued over time. Small animals and pests can gnaw at your electrical installations. Strong weather conditions, like blizzards and storms, can damage protective coatings and other components. The older the property, the more it needs frequent EICRs.
If you have a business, you are required to look after the well-being of not just your employees but also your customers. With so many tourists lining the streets of Brighton every year, you cannot afford to lose business because your store has faulty wiring.
Private landlords and people with rental residential property owners are legally required to have their property checked every 5 years to protect their renters. Tourists are also protected by these requirements, allowing them to stay comfortably in rented lodgings.
What is the EICR Process?

An EICR has to accomplish the following goals to make sure that your property is safe:
Throughout the assessment, our electricians will use specialised status codes to note down the condition of your property’s electrical components. When the report is complete, you will have a thorough catalogue of the status of your electrical installations. With this report, you can enact repairs and make updates to your circuitry and systems.
What Other Details Do You Need to Know?
Frequency of EICRs
How often you should perform an EICR on your property depends on how the property is used.
Different factors can necessitate an EICR. For example, flooding, storms and similar phenomena can damage electrical components, and it is best to assess them as soon as possible. The older the property, the more frequently you should conduct EICRs. An electrician could recommend an EICR as often as once every 3 years or even annually, depending on the house’s condition.
Factors that Affect EICR Cost
The more challenging it is for an electrician to complete an EICR, the more likely the price will increase. Some conditions that will impact price include the following:
