Electrical Installation Condition Reports in Weymouth
What Is an EICR?
An EICR or an Electrical Installation Condition Report is the official document presented by the licensed electrician or engineer after conducting a comprehensive inspection of a property’s electrical installation. The document contains several important pieces of information about the state of the installation.
The report may be a requirement for property owners. In conducting EICR tests, our team always follows the National Safety Standards.

Why Get an EICR?
Safety
Safety is the most important and compelling reason to have an EICR inspection in a property.
Over time, the components in an electrical installation suffer from wear and damage from continuous use. These can result in small and even unnoticeable issues. However, these issues can develop into more complex problems if they’re not addressed accordingly. By then, they will be too costly and even dangerous to resolve.
This risk can be mitigated by having regular EICR inspections. The test identifies even the smallest issue or inefficiency so property owners can address them in a timely manner – long before they become safety risks. The report includes a list of recommended actions to be taken and their urgency.
Energy Efficiency
EICR inspections will give you the ability to identify inefficiencies within the installation. The report pinpoints areas for improvement in terms of energy efficiency and makes the relevant recommendations to address them.
Not only do these recommendations effectively bring down the costs of electricity for these properties, they also help promote energy conservation, which is particularly useful for owners of multiple properties.
Regulations
There are some instances where regular EICR inspections may be required by regulations.
Landlords, for example, need to provide both their incoming and existing tenants with EICRs that have a satisfactory rating at least once every five years, or even before they move in. This is a big part of the Ministry of Housing, Communities, and Local Government’s campaign for safer dwellings.
