About EICRs
What an EICR is — and who it's for
An EICR looks at the condition of a property's fixed electrical installation: the consumer unit, wiring, sockets, switches and lighting circuits. It's an inspection and test of what's there, not an installation of anything new.
Landlords use EICRs for rental properties and HMOs. Buyers use them to understand the wiring in a home they're moving into, and owners of older properties use them to check the condition of an installation that hasn't been looked at for a while.
To prepare, make sure we can get to the consumer unit and into each room. Parts of the power will be off during testing, so it helps to know in advance about anything that shouldn't be switched off.
If the inspection identifies issues, we explain what we found and quote any remedial work separately. Nothing is carried out without your agreement.
