What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an important part of ensuring all electrical installations at a property are in safe working order.

The new regulations, titled The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, were officially brought in on 1st April 2020. In July 2020, all new tenancies required an EICR. As of 1st April 2021, this requirement applies to all tenancies – new and existing. Local authorities were also granted the power to issue fines to landlords who fail to comply with electrical safety standards.

More EICR Information

To ensure that tenants in Liverpool live in safe and structurally sound homes, landlords are now required to provide an EICR for each of their rental properties.

Our Electrical Safety Certificate (EICR) is provided once a full Electrical Installation Check has been carried out and any required repairs have been completed.

In order for our electrician to be able to produce the final Electrical Safety Certificate a full Electrical Installation Check will be performed on the property.

During this check the mains electrical power supply will need to be disconnected for safety reasons and also to be able to apply the correct tests to the relevant electrical circuits.

It must be carried out by a qualified electrician who has a good working knowledge and experience of electrical installations.

Depending on the size of the property the EICR check could take anything from a couple of hours to a full day.

Please note that the Final Electrical Safety Certificate will be provided once all required repairs (if applicable) have been completed.

The five main aims of an Electrical Installation Condition Report are:

To record the results of the inspection and testing to make sure the electrical installation is safe to be used until the next inspection (following any work needed to make it safe).

To find any damage and wear and tear that might affect safety, and report it.

To find any parts of the electrical installation that do not meet the IET Wiring Regulations.

To help find anything that may cause electric shocks and high temperatures.

To provide an important record of the installation at the time of the inspection, and for inspection testing in the future.
