Why Does EICR Matter?

A failing circuit cannot be seen behind a wall. Approximately 4 out of 10 houses fail their first EICR due to flaws that remain undetected for years.

If a fire starts in your home, your insurer (insurance agent) will ask one question: Was your wiring properly maintained? Without an EICR, you have no proof, which can lead to a dispute. Landlords can face fines up to £30,000 for skipping a legally required inspection.

 One certificate, properly done, protects you from both.

EICR Inspection

When do you need an EICR?


Most people only think about their wiring once something stops working. But a fault doesn’t wait for your EICR to expire. Check the date on your last certificate now, before that happens. New tenants, a recent rewire, or water damage all mean it’s time to renew your EICR:

  • Rented properties need a valid 5-year EICR.
  • Homeowners can renew their EICR every 10 years.
  • Commercial sites get checked more often than homes. Busier buildings with more circuits usually need retesting every 1 to 3 years, not 5.
