Why You Need an EICR

Keeping your electrical system in good condition is vital to reducing your property’s energy consumption and increasing cost savings.

EICR testing is one of the simplest ways to prove that an electrical system is safe to use. During the inspection, a licensed engineer will identify electrical defects, deterioration and/or non-compliances that can result in property damage or even loss of life. Various tests including Dead Testing, Live Testing, Visual Inspection and RCD Testing will be carried out and corrective actions will be recommended.

Specific issues that can be revealed through an EICR test include:

  • Adequacy of bonding and earthing
  • Cause and extent of any damages or defects
  • Performance of switches, outlets, sockets and light fittings
  • Suitability of the switchgear and control gear (e.g. consumer unit)
  • Type of wiring system and its condition
  • Presence of crucial identification and notices
  • Structural modifications that may have caused damage to electrical components

 

The evaluation of electrical systems requires professional expertise. Let our team handle the entire process with promptness, precision and minimal disruption to your property.

What's Included in the EICR

Below are the critical features of an EICR:

  • Essential information about the property
  • The date and time of the inspection
  • Limitations of the inspection
  • Detailed assessments of electrical components
  • Nature and extent of defective installations
  • Changes to the property that may put the electrical system at risk
  • List of performed tests and their results
  • Signature of the inspector

Understanding EICR Classification Codes

During an EICR, the electrician will rate each observation according to the level of severity. 

  1. C1Danger Present. These are issues that require instant remedial action.
  1. C2Potentially Dangerous. A possible issue is discovered and preventative steps must be implemented in the next few days or weeks.
  1. C3 Improvement Recommended. A non-compliance is discovered but does not pose immediate or potential danger at the time of inspection. However, taking remedial actions now can significantly improve electrical safety.

Residential EICRs are often performed every 10 years or at a change of occupancy. But outdated or defective electrical installations may need more frequent testing.

 

How Much Does an EICR Cost?

The overall cost of an EICR will depend on different factors including:

  • Location
  • Age of the property
  • Size of the property
  • Extent of testing required
