Who Needs an EICR?
The main reason to book an EICR is for safety. You cannot see electricity and most cables are hidden inside walls. Without an inspection, there could be issues that you do not notice until there is an emergency.
Faulty and old wiring is one of the main causes of electrical fires in the home. You can reduce the risk of a fire if you regularly book an EICR conducted by a qualified electrician.
It is highly recommended you have an EICR inspection carried out every 10 years for your home. When selling your home, most buyers will ask for a recent EICR to ensure the property is safe.
Landlords must have an EICR report carried out every 5 years for all properties they rent to tenants. If you are a landlord, book us to complete an electrical inspection and issue the paperwork you require.
How Long Does An EICR Take?
On average, an EICR inspection takes one to four hours. The length of the test depends on the size of the property, the accessibility of electrical systems and the amount of electrical equipment in the property.
Additional investigation may be required, depending on the electrician’s findings.
