Is Your EICR Up to Date?


An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) isn’t just a recommendation—it’s essential for safety, compliance, and peace of mind. But how often do you actually need one?


How Often Should You Get an EICR?


🏡 Homeowners – Stay Safe & Secure

  • Every 10 years for owner-occupied homes
  • Every 5 years for rental properties (legal requirement under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector Regulations 2020)
  • With every change of occupancy to ensure tenant safety

🏢 Businesses & Commercial Properties

  • At least every 5 years, or more often if your business has high electrical demand
  • Some workplaces require more frequent checks depending on usage and risk factors

🏭 Industrial Premises

  • Every 3 years due to the higher risk factors and complexity of industrial electrical systems

Landlords – Are You Compliant?

If you rent out a property, an EICR is legally required every 5 years. Failing to comply can lead to fines and safety risks for your tenants. Don’t leave it to chance—stay compliant and protect your investment.

Why an EICR Inspection Matters

  • Ensures your electrical system is safe and up to code
  • Helps prevent electrical fires and hazards
  • Identifies wear and tear before costly repairs are needed
  • Provides peace of mind for property owners, landlords, and tenants
