What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection of your property’s electrical systems. It ensures your wiring, fuse board, and installations are safe and meet current UK regulations.
During an EICR, we check:
- Wiring condition and safety
- Fuse board (consumer unit) compliance
- Earthing and bonding
- Overloaded circuits and fire risks
- General wear and deterioration
