An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a comprehensive inspection and testing of your property's electrical installation. Whether you're a landlord meeting legal requirements, a homeowner concerned about electrical safety, or dealing with insurance or mortgage requirements, Safe Elec UK provides thorough EICR inspections across the North West and West Midlands.
An EICR is a detailed report that assesses the condition of your electrical installation, identifying any potential safety issues, deterioration, or non-compliance with current wiring regulations. It's like an MOT for your electrical system, providing peace of mind that your property is electrically safe.
Landlords (Legal Requirement)
Since July 2020, all private landlords in England must have a valid EICR carried out by a qualified electrician at least every 5 years, and before new tenancies begin.
Homeowners
EICRs are recommended every 10 years for owner-occupied homes, or when buying a property with an electrical installation over 25 years old.
Commercial Property Owners
Business premises require EICRs every 5 years, or every 3 years for certain high-risk environments.
Insurance Requirements
Many insurance companies now require valid EICRs, particularly for older properties or rental accommodations.
Visual Inspection
Our NICEIC qualified electricians begin with a thorough visual inspection of your electrical installation, checking for obvious defects, damage, or dangerous conditions.
