Ensuring the electrical safety of your property is essential for both legal compliance and the well-being of those who live or work there. An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a critical part of that process, and Nationwide Surveyors makes getting your EICR test quick, easy, and hassle-free.
What is an EICR Test?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed inspection of a property’s electrical system to ensure it is safe, up to code, and in good working condition. The report assesses various electrical components, including wiring, sockets, switches, and the consumer unit (fuse box), for signs of wear, damage, or hazards that could pose a risk.
EICRs are essential for identifying potential electrical issues before they become serious problems, preventing the risk of electric shocks, fires, or system failures. The report also serves as proof of compliance with the latest electrical safety regulations, especially for landlords who are required by law to have an EICR carried out at least every five years.
