SwiftEICRs
Electrical Testing Services

Many homeowners assume their electrics are fine—but issues can develop over time without any visible warning.

Key reasons to get an EICR:
🔥 Prevent electrical fires
⚡ Reduce risk of electric shock
🧰 Identify hidden faults early
📈 Maintain property value
🏡 Peace of mind for your family

In the UK, it’s recommended to have an EICR every 10 years for owner-occupied homes.

🏢 Why Are EICRs Essential for Landlords?
If you’re a landlord, EICRs aren’t just important—they’re legally required.
Under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords must:
Ensure electrical installations are inspected every 5 years
Provide tenants with a copy of the report
Carry out any remedial work promptly
Failure to comply can result in:
❌ Fines of up to £30,000
❌ Invalid insurance
❌ Legal liability if an accident occurs

⚠️ What Problems Can an EICR Detect?
An EICR can uncover issues you may never notice, including:
Faulty or outdated wiring
Overloaded circuits
Lack of earthing or bonding
Fire risks
DIY electrical work that doesn’t meet regulations

These problems can be dangerous if left unresolved—especially in older properties.


📊 What Do EICR Results Mean?
Your report will include codes that show the severity of issues:
C1 (Danger Present) – Immediate risk, needs urgent action
C2 (Potentially Dangerous) – Requires urgent remedial work
C3 (Improvement Recommended) – Not unsafe, but should be improved
FI (Further Investigation) – More checks needed

A property is only considered “Satisfactory” if there are no C1 or C2 issues.
📍 How Often Should You Get an EICR?
🏠 Homeowners: Every 10 years or 5 years depending on the age of the installation
🏢 Rental properties: Every 5 years
🏫 Commercial properties: Typically every 5 years (or sooner depending on use)

🔎 When Should You Book an EICR?
You should arrange an EICR if:
You’re buying or selling a property
You’re a landlord renting out a property
Your electrics are over 10 years old
You’ve noticed flickering lights or tripping circuits
