EICR

“Maintaining your future”

Ensuring Electrical Safety and Compliance

An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is essential for maintaining the safety and reliability of your property’s electrical systems. Whether you own a residential, commercial, or industrial property, regular reports ensure compliance with UK regulations and help identify potential risks before they become major problems. At Luxco Contracts, we provide professional services tailored to your needs, ensuring peace of mind and legal compliance.

What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a comprehensive assessment of your property’s electrical system. It evaluates the safety, functionality, and compliance of electrical installations, identifying any faults or hazards that could pose a risk to occupants or property.

Who Needs an EICR?

They are required for a variety of property types and purposes:

Landlords

It is a legal obligation to provide an up-to-date EICR for rented properties under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020.

Homeowners

Regular Electrical Installation Condition Reports ensure your home's electrical system is safe and efficient.

Businesses

Commercial properties must meet health and safety requirements, including electrical safety standards.

Public Buildings

Schools, hospitals, and other public facilities need regular reports to ensure the safety of users.

What Does an EICR Involve?

At Luxco Contracts, our certified electricians follow a detailed process to deliver accurate and reliable EICRs:

1.Visual Inspection

We begin by inspecting the condition of all visible electrical components, including wiring, switches, and sockets.

3. Identification of Defects

We classify any issues based on their level of urgency:

  • C1: Immediate danger – requires urgent action.
  • C2: Potential danger – needs attention.
  • C3: Improvement recommended – not hazardous but should be addressed.

2. Testing of Circuits and Systems

Comprehensive testing ensures all circuits, fuses, and protective devices function correctly and safely.

4. Reporting and Certification

Once the assessment is complete, we provide a detailed report outlining our findings, including any recommendations for remedial work.

How Often is an EICR Required?

The frequency depends on the type of property:

  • Residential Properties
    Every 10 years for homeowners or every 5 years for rental properties.
  • Commercial Properties
    Every 5 years or as recommended by previous reports.
  • Industrial Properties
    Every 3 years or based on risk assessment.
  • Public Buildings
    Every 5 years or as stipulated by regulations.

The Importance of Regular EICRs

Neglecting Electrical Installation Condition Reports can lead to serious consequences, including:

  • Increased Risk of Electrical Fires: Faulty wiring and overloaded circuits are common causes of fires.
  • Legal Penalties: Non-compliance can result in fines or prosecution.
  • Insurance Issues: Claims may be denied if electrical faults are found to be the cause of damage and no valid EICR is available.
