Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) Testing

Professional EICR Testing for Homes, Rental Properties and Business Premises

At Exeter Electrical, we provide professional EICR testing (Electrical Installation Condition Reports) to ensure your property’s electrical system is safe, compliant, and up to current standards. Whether you’re a landlord, homeowner, or business owner, Exeter Electrical carry out thorough inspections to keep you, your tenants, and your property protected.

What Is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed assessment of a property’s fixed electrical wiring and components. It checks for faults, deterioration, and potential safety hazards that could cause electric shocks, fire risks, or power failures.

Our certified electricians inspect and test:

Wiring and circuit integrity

Sockets, switches, and light fittings

Consumer unit (fuse box)

Earthing and bonding

Protective devices and RCDs

Following the inspection, you’ll receive a formal EICR certificate stating whether your installation is Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory — along with clear recommendations for any remedial work.

What an EICR Involves

Our comprehensive EICR service includes:

Visual Inspection – Checking for damage, wear, or overheating.

Electrical Testing – Measuring insulation resistance, earthing continuity, and circuit performance.

Safety Assessment – Identifying electric shock and fire hazards.

Detailed Report – Listing findings using official EICR codes (C1, C2, C3, FI) and indicating if your installation passes or fails.

Who Needs an EICR?

Landlords:
It’s a legal requirement to have an EICR carried out at least every 5 years, or sooner if advised. You must provide tenants and letting agents with a copy of the report.

Homeowners:
We recommend arranging an EICR every 10 years (or when buying/selling your home) to ensure continued electrical safety.

Businesses:
Regular electrical inspections help you comply with Health & Safety Regulations and maintain a safe working environment.

After Your EICR Report

Satisfactory:
Your electrical installation meets the required safety standards – no further action needed.

Unsatisfactory:
The report will highlight defects that need repair. We will let you know as soon as practically possible if we find any dangerous situations and we will quote you to repair these areas of the installation. Exeter Electrical can then carry out the necessary remedial work quickly and issue a new Satisfactory EICR certificate once completed.
