EICR Testing
Electrical Installation Condition Reports
An EICR is a detailed inspection and test of the fixed wiring in your property, including circuits, sockets, switches, lighting, earthing and the consumer unit. We check that everything is safe, identify any defects or wear, and give you a clear written report so you know exactly where you stand.

FAQ'S
EICRs & Consumer Units – Your Questions Answered
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an inspection and test of a property's electrical installation to assess its condition and identify any potential safety issues.
An EICR helps identify electrical faults, deterioration and potential hazards that may otherwise go unnoticed. Regular inspections help ensure your electrical installation remains safe and highlight any areas requiring attention.
Upgrading to a modern consumer unit can improve electrical safety by providing additional protection against electric shock and electrical faults. Modern consumer units can also help reduce disruption when a fault occurs.
Older fuseboards often rely on traditional fuses and may lack modern safety protection. Modern consumer units typically use circuit breakers and RCD or RCBO protection, offering improved safety and easier resetting following a fault.
Most standard domestic consumer unit replacements can be completed within a day, including the necessary inspection, testing and certification. Larger or more complex installations may take longer.
