Expertly carried out by our electrical engineers
If you’re already a landlord, or you’re venturing into the world of letting out properties, you may have heard of an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) certification. This is a report carried out to ensure that every electrical appliance and wiring in your property is safe and not faulty. You cannot see electricity. Cables are usually hidden inside the walls, and consumer units are often hidden in cupboards, so it is not surprising that homeowners can forget to check the condition of their electrical installations for damage or wear and tear. Faulty and old wiring is one of the main causes of electrical fires in properties. The team at Hale Electrics Ltd can be the one to provide your EICR for your property’s safety. Call us on 020 3086 7631.
An EICR is an essential part of the process if you’re letting out a property to tenants. To get started contact our experts on 020 3086 7631, email info@hale-electrics.co.uk, or complete our form for a fast response.
An EICR is a document that is formally produced by a qualified electrician. It follows an in-depth inspection of the electrical wiring and appliances in your property. If you are a landlord of a rental property, it is your responsibility to ensure the electrics are safe for your tenants, and this should be achieved through an EICR. The report ensures all electrical installations are safe to be around and don’t pose the risk of an electrical fire.
An EICR allows you to reduce the risk of a fire by checking the condition of your cables, switches, sockets, and other accessories periodically. The five main aims of a condition report are to:

If you are late in getting your EICR, or you haven’t yet fixed the issues that were flagged during the process, you might be susceptible to these dangers. If there is faulty wiring in your property or your appliances aren’t reliable, you could be at risk of an electrical fire; approximately 89% of electrical fires are caused by unreliable appliances. Faulty wiring can also be the cause of electric shocks. If, as a landlord, you neglect to have an EICR for your property, you could face up to a £30,000 fine. This can also lead to you needing emergency electrical assistance for your property.
