EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Reports)

Private Landlords are legally required to have an EICR at least every 5 years, or at the time of a change of tenant, it’s the landlord’s responsibility to ensure the inspection and testing is carried out before the new tenant moves in.

All other domestic houses and flats are required every 10 years.

Booking an EICR with OEC Electrical provides you with a full comprehensive safety inspection which covers the consumer unit, the earthing and all accessible mains connected wiring as well as all the required testing of the circuits.

On completion of the EICR you will receive a Condition Report with details of the inspection, should this be unsatisfactory and requires remedial works a quote for these works will be attached. We aim to complete all remedial works within 14 days.

Commercial electrical installation condition reports are used to check the safety, operation and compliance of electrical systems. An EICR allows us to check that the electrical installation has not degraded, accessories are not damaged, and connections are not loose. As a commercial or industrial property owner it is your responsibility to ensure that the building is electrically sound.

As an NICEIC Approved Contractor of over 10 years our commercial and industrial clients can be assured that when an EICR is carried out by OEC Electrical you are being provided with an thorough and honest report carried out by City and Guilds 2391 qualified electricians.

How much is an EICR?

An EICR cost depends on a variety of factors including, the size of property, how many consumer units / distribution boards you have. Contact us for your non obligatory quotation today.
