As a homeowner or landlord, you’re responsible for ensuring your property is safe and secure. Electrical installations carry potential risks that, when left unattended, could result in significant consequences. Hire our qualified electricians at Energy Performance Certificates to perform an EICR inspection of your property in Hayes.

What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an important document required by law that details the condition of electrical installations in domestic, commercial and industrial premises. It is used to identify any potential risks posed by faulty equipment or workmanship which could result in electric shock, fire, or other safety hazards.

Following the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020, inspections and EICRs in Hayes should only be carried out and issued by experienced electricians like us.

Why Should You Get an EICR?

It is advisable to request an EICR at least once every ten years or more frequently as needed. Additional periodic inspections may be recommended depending on the property and its usage.

Having an up-to-date EICR is critical for your safety, as well as the safety of everyone else in the building. An EICR will identify any unsafe electrical installations or risks to users and take measures to rectify any potential hazards. Without an up-to-date EICR, you may be putting yourself and others at risk.

An EICR benefits you and your property in the following ways:

Compliance: An EICR certifies that your electrical installations comply with current regulations and standards.

Peace of mind: Knowing your property is safe from potential risks due to faulty wiring or equipment gives you peace of mind knowing your family is protected.

Proof for Insurance Claims: Insurance companies will often require an up-to-date EICR before they provide coverage.

Cost Savings: An EICR will identify any potential issues which could result in costly repairs or replacement of faulty equipment, allowing you to save money in the long term.

EICR Results

An EICR has the following indicators:

  • Code C1: Indicates the presence of immediate danger that poses a threat and requires urgent action.
  • Code C2: Signifies a potentially hazardous issue less severe than C1 but still requires remedial action.
  • Code C3: Indicates non-compliance with regulations but poses no immediate threat.
  • Code F1: Suggests further investigation is necessary.
