What is an EICR?

An EICR, otherwise known as an Electrical Installation Condition Report assesses the condition of your electrical installation. It is a formal document produced by a qualified electrician. The purpose of the report is to determine whether the installation is safe for continued use or if any improvements are required for safety. Essentially its an MOT for your electrical installation.

What Happens During an EICR?

Step 1: Visual Inspection
Our electricians will begin with a visual inspection of your electrical installations, including your consumer unit, wiring, outlets, and light fittings. We’ll check for signs of wear, damage, or outdated components.

Step 2: Testing and Measurements
We’ll carry out a series of electrical tests to measure the effectiveness of your system, including insulation resistance, earth continuity, and circuit functionality. This helps identify any faults that could pose a risk to safety.

Step 3: Report and Recommendations
Once the inspection and tests are complete, we’ll provide a full EICR report that outlines the condition of your electrical system. If there are any faults, we’ll list them, along with the necessary remedial actions. If everything is in good condition, you’ll receive a pass certificate.

Step 4: Remedial Work (If Needed)
If any issues are identified, we can also carry out any necessary repairs, upgrades, or replacements to ensure your system is safe, compliant, and functioning correctly.
