What is a Residential EICR?
A Residential Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed assessment of the fixed electrical installation within your home. Over time, wiring, sockets, switches, consumer units and electrical circuits can deteriorate, increasing the risk of electric shocks, electrical fires and unexpected power failures.
During the inspection, one of our qualified electricians examines the condition of your electrical system and performs a series of tests. Once complete, you'll receive a detailed report explaining the condition of your installation together with any observations and recommendations.
Our inspection identifies:
- Damaged wiring
- Unsafe electrical installations
- Faulty sockets and switches
- Defective consumer units
- Inadequate earthing and bonding
- Circuit overload risks
- Electrical deterioration
- Potential fire hazards
Why Do You Need a Residential EICR?
Electrical installations naturally deteriorate with age. Even if everything appears to be working normally, hidden faults may exist behind walls, ceilings or inside electrical accessories.
- Protect your family from electrical hazards
- Reduce the risk of electrical fires
- Detect hidden wiring faults
- Identify overloaded circuits
- Prevent electric shocks
- Ensure continued safe operation
- Support insurance requirements where applicable
- Provide peace of mind
Early detection can prevent costly repairs and improve the long-term safety of your property.
Who Needs a Residential EICR?
Homeowners
If you've lived in your property for several years or have never had your electrics professionally inspected, an EICR helps ensure your installation remains safe.
Property Buyers
Buying a home is one of the biggest investments you'll make. An EICR identifies hidden electrical issues before completion, helping you make informed decisions and avoid unexpected repair costs.
Property Sellers
Providing a recent Electrical Installation Condition Report can reassure buyers that the electrical installation has been professionally inspected.
Landlords
Landlords in England are legally required to have the electrical installation in privately rented properties inspected and tested at least every five years, or sooner if recommended by the previous report, by a qualified person.

EICR Classification Codes
Following the inspection, any observations are classified using standard EICR coding.
| Code | Meaning | Action Required |
|---|---|---|
| C1 | Danger Present | Immediate action required |
| C2 | Potentially Dangerous | Urgent remedial work required |
| C3 | Improvement Recommended | Safety improvements advised |
| FI | Further Investigation Required | Additional testing required |
If C1, C2 or FI observations are identified, remedial work or further investigation is normally required before the installation can be considered satisfactory.
