If you are a landlord, a valid EICR is a legal requirement. Rented properties must have an electrical inspection and certificate at least every five years. Although EICRs are not legally required during property sales, many buyers request them for reassurance. For homeowners, an EICR helps identify faults early, preventing costly repairs and improving electrical safety within the property.
With the rising cost of energy, an EICR can also highlight areas of inefficiency within your system, helping you cut down on unnecessary consumption and reduce your energy bills.

Issues identified in an EICR report fall into three categories:
This means “Danger present. Risk of injury. Immediate remedial action required.”
This indicates that there is an immediate threat to the safety of occupants or visitors.
This means “Potentially dangerous, urgent remedial action required.”
This highlights that the homeowner is at risk of electric shock or other electrical hazards.
This means “Improvement recommended.”
This denotes a non-compliance with regulations that is not immediately dangerous, but should still be improved.
