Whether you’re a homeowner or landlord, electrical safety is important. One way to ensure your property’s electrical system is safe and compliant is through an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR). At Plugged In Electricians, we’re proud to provide EICRs for properties across Lancashire, Morecambe Bay, South Lakes, and Barrow, helping to protect your tenants, family, and property.
This blog explains what an EICR involves, why it’s essential, and how our trusted team can make the process simple and hassle-free.
What Is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed assessment of your property’s electrical system. It evaluates whether the system is safe, compliant with current regulations, and free from hazards.
What Does the EICR Process Involve?
- Visual Inspection
Our qualified electricians examine your property’s wiring, outlets, switches, and fixtures for visible damage or wear. - Testing Electrical Circuits
We test all circuits for functionality and safety, identifying issues like overloaded circuits, faulty connections, or outdated wiring. - Risk Assessment
The system is assessed against current safety standards, and any potential hazards are documented. - Detailed Report
You’ll receive a clear report categorizing issues as:- C1: Immediate danger, requiring urgent attention.
- C2: Potential danger, requiring prompt action.
- C3: Recommendations for improvement (not a safety risk).
- Remedial Repairs
If your report comes back as unsatisfactory and repairs are needed, we can handle them efficiently to bring your system up to standard. Once we address the C1’s and C2’s, we’ll provide your satisfactory report for no extra charge.
Why Is an EICR Important?
- Legal Compliance
Landlords are legally required to provide an EICR every five years or at the start of a new tenancy. - Protecting Your Property
An EICR identifies issues that could lead to electrical fires, protecting your property and occupants. - Peace of Mind
Knowing your system is safe and compliant ensures peace of mind for homeowners and tenants alike. - Insurance Validity
Many insurance companies require proof of electrical safety compliance.
