What is an EICR and Why Do You Need It?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal document issued after a full assessment of your electrical system. It identifies potential hazards such as defective wiring, overloaded circuits, or non-compliance with regulations. Whether you’re a landlord or homeowner, an EICR is critical for legal compliance and peace of mind.

For landlords, having a valid EICR is a legal obligation every five years (or at change of tenancy). Homeowners are also encouraged to check every 10 years—or sooner if issues arise.

What Factors Affect the Cost?

Several factors influence the final cost of your EICR:

• Size of the property – More rooms = more circuits to inspect

• Age of the installation – Older properties may require more detailed checks

• Number of consumer units – Multiple units add time to the inspection

• Previous maintenance level – Well-maintained systems may take less time to inspect

• Access to electrical points – Limited access (e.g., behind furniture) can increase labour time

RCD Electrical provides a tailored quote after a quick phone assessment. Our team will always offer the most cost-effective route while ensuring full safety compliance.

Are Cheap EICRs Worth It?

Low-cost EICRs may seem appealing, but they often skip essential testing steps or hide additional charges. At RCD Electrical, our NICEIC-approved engineers ensure genuine, regulation-compliant reports.

Cutting corners on safety checks is not only illegal for landlords—it’s dangerous.
