Landlords Electrical Inspection Condition Reports

Why is a EICR Needed?

EICRs are generally required by insurance companies, home buyers and Landlords.    It can sometimes be called the Homebuyers Test or the Landlord Safety Test.

Safety Assessment

An EICR, or Electrical Installation Condition Report, is a document produced after an extensive examination and test of your electrical installation. The purpose of an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is to assess the safety and condition of your electrical installation, identifying any damage, deterioration, or defects that may pose a risk and ensuring compliance with current safety standards and regulations are being met. It is used to determine whether or not your electrical installation is safe for use by you the property owner,  tenants and of course any other occupiers. 

Ensuring Compliance

  • An EICR should only be carried out by a qualified and competent electrician who either holds aNVQ Level 3 in Electrotechnical Services and/or an Initial and periodic electrical inspection and Testing (2391) certificate fromCity and Guilds. It is very important that whomever undertakes a ECIR for you has the necessary qualifications, experience and skills.
  • The report will help you identify any potential hazards, including damage to wring, sockets and switches and will identify any non-compliance with current wiring regulations.
  • An EICR could highlight minor deviations from current regulations but its main purpose is to ensure that the electrical installation within a property is satisfactory for continued use.

What to expect during an EICR

Our fully qualified and competent electricians, will inspect your electrical system to ensure it is free of damage, wear and tear, and deterioration. They will also determine whether your installation or equipment is properly installed.  This will be done by isolating the electrical circuits being tested and will mean a temporary loss of power to some of your property whilst the testing is being undertaken.  Appliances on the electrical circuits being tested may also need to be unplugged to allow us to get accurate readings.

Recommendations

The report provided will highlight recommendations for repairs and/or improvements needed to ensure your electrical installation is safe and compliant. A C1 or C2 code will need rectification and will result in an unsatisfactory report being issued and it is recommended that these codes should be acted upon as a matter of urgency. A C3 code may result in a satisfactory report being issue.  However, it is recommended that the customer be given a clear understanding of the issue raised so, that a judgement call can be made on the time scale in which these issues need to be addressed. The recommended interval between EICR’s is currently 5 years.  If the reading are high or considered poor the inspector may reduce this time scale as he sees fit.  The customer may also request a EICR sooner than 5 years if there has been frequent changes, vandalism or flood damage to their property.

Costs

 
The cost of a EICR depends on the physical size of the property and number of electrical outlets currently within the existing installation.  Properties with electrical heating, out buildings and more than one fuse board will have increased costs.
 
To give a rough guide a standard 3 bed gas centrally heated property will fall in the region of £150 plus VAT and can take unto 4 hours to complete.
