Electrical safety inspections help identify potential hazards, deterioration or faults within your electrical system before they become serious problems.

What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection of your property’s electrical installation. During the inspection, a qualified electrician checks the condition of wiring, sockets, switches, fuse boards and other electrical components to ensure they meet current safety standards.

The purpose of an EICR is to identify:

-Electrical safety risks
-Overloaded circuits
-Faulty or deteriorating wiring
-Lack of earthing or bonding
-Outdated electrical equipment

Once the inspection is complete, you will receive a report outlining the condition of the installation and any recommendations for improvement.

Landlord Electrical Safety Certificates

Landlords in England are legally required to have the electrical installations in their rental properties inspected and tested at least every five years.

After the inspection, landlords must provide tenants with a valid Electrical Installation Condition Report confirming the property meets electrical safety standards.

At Elworth Electrical, we carry out landlord EICRs in accordance with current regulations, helping landlords remain compliant and ensuring tenants are protected.

What Happens During an EICR Inspection?

We aim to make the process simple and straightforward.

Initial Visual Inspection:

We begin by checking the condition of sockets, switches, fuse boards and other visible electrical components.

Electrical Testing:
Specialist equipment is used to test circuits, wiring and safety devices to ensure they operate correctly.

Assessment of Earthing and Bonding:

We check that the property’s earthing and bonding arrangements meet safety requirements.

Report and Certification:
After testing is completed, you will receive your Electrical Installation Condition Report outlining the results and any recommended actions.

H2: Possible EICR Outcomes:

Your report may contain different classification codes depending on the condition of the installation.

C1 – Danger Present:
Immediate action is required due to a serious electrical hazard.

C2 – Potentially Dangerous:
Remedial work is recommended to improve safety.

C3 – Improvement Recommended:
The installation is safe but could be improved to meet modern standards.

FI – Further Investigation Required:

Additional investigation is needed to determine the condition of part of the installation.

If any issues are identified, we can explain the findings clearly and provide advice on the best way to resolve them.

EICR Testing for Homeowners

While EICRs are a legal requirement for landlords, they are also recommended for homeowners.

Regular electrical inspections can help identify issues early and ensure your electrical system remains safe. Many homeowners choose to have an EICR carried out when buying or selling a property, after major renovations, or if the electrical installation has not been inspected for many years.
