Electrical Inspection and Testing
There are several good reasons to have an Electrical Inspection Condition Report (EICR) done.

Below is an extract from the Electrical Safety First website.
A periodic inspection (EICR) will:
- Reveal if any of your electrical circuits or equipment are overloaded
- Find any potential electric shock risks and fire hazards
- Identify any defective electrical work
- Highlight any lack of earthing or bonding
A question we are often asked is how often should your electrics be inspected. To answer we will again refer to the UK experts at Electrical Safety First.
Your electrics should be inspected and tested every:
- 10 years for an owner-occupied home
- 5 years for a rented home
- When a property is being prepared for letting
- Before selling a property or buying a previously-occupied property
