Many electrical installations are concealed within the walls of your house, which means most of the time, problems can start and fester without your knowledge. Without corrective action, faulty wires and cables can cause serious injuries and even loss of life.
Electronic Installation Condition Reports (EICR) can help you spot warning signs before they escalate into bigger and more expensive disasters. With an EICR, you can rest easy knowing that your electrical installations are in optimal condition.

The Importance of EICRs
An EICR or periodic inspection ascertains that the condition of the electrical wirings throughout your property complies with safety standards. This report contains:
An EICR follows three classification codes when evaluating electrical installations:
C1 (Danger Present) – Heightened risk of damage, accident and injuries is detected and requires immediate action
C2 (Potential Danger) – Risks may not require urgent action, but corrective steps are recommended to stop it from developing into a C1
C3 (Improvement Recommended) – Installation is stable at the moment, but implementing slight changes may further improve its efficiency
According to new EICR laws, landlords must provide EICRs to all tenants to ensure their safety from electrical faults.
An EICR is valid for up to five years. This means you will need a new EICR at least once every five years or when a new tenant is set to move in. In some cases, an inspector may recommend more frequent inspections for outdated properties and electrical systems.
Tenants are entitled to receive a copy of the EICR within 28 days from the date the landlord receives the report. Landlords must also keep a copy of the latest EICR until the next scheduled inspection.
As a landlord or homeowner, you want the peace of mind that the electrics in your property are safe and stable. Energy Performance Certificates is known for our unmatched workmanship and friendly professionals. We guarantee:
