Share earlier reports if you have them. 2. **Allow for brief power interruptions:** Parts of the installation need to be isolated while circuits and protective devices are tested. 3. **Receive the written report:** The report records the results, any limitations and whether further action is recommended. ## Understand the report Observations use standard codes so you can see what needs attention. - **C1:** Danger is present and immediate action is required. - **C2:** A potentially dangerous issue needs urgent remedial action. - **C3:** An improvement is recommended, but this is not a danger code by itself. - **FI:** Further investigation is required without delay. ## EICR questions Clear answers before you request a quote. ### What is an EICR? An Electrical Installation Condition Report is produced after a property’s fixed electrical installation is inspected and tested. ### How often do landlords need an EICR? In England, rented properties normally need the electrical installation inspected and tested at least every five years, or sooner if the previous report requires it. ### What does an EICR cost? Current published prices are shown above. Send the property details so the team can confirm the right option and final price. ### How long does an EICR take? It depends on the property’s size, number of circuits and access. The team can estimate after checking the details. ### Will the power be switched off? Yes, parts of the installation normally need to be isolated for testing. Plan for temporary interruptions. ### What happens if the report finds a problem? The report explains what was found. Repair work or further investigation is discussed and priced separately. ### Is an EICR the same as PAT testing? No. An EICR covers the fixed installation. PAT testing covers portable appliances and is separate. ### Do you cover my postcode?
