Whether you’re a landlord, homeowner, or business owner in London, staying compliant with electrical safety regulations is more than just ticking a legal box – it’s about keeping lives safe. An EICR Certificate (Electrical Installation Condition Report) is the cornerstone of electrical safety, and RCD Electrical is leading the way across the capital.
⚠️ What is an EICR and Why is it Required?
An EICR is a formal document issued after a detailed inspection of a property’s electrical system. It checks the integrity of wiring, consumer units, and fixed installations. With regulations like The Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020, landlords must now obtain an EICR every five years – and renew it sooner if issues arise.
Failure to comply can result in fines of up to £30,000 and, more importantly, puts tenants at serious risk.
🔎 When Should You Get an EICR?
EICRs aren’t just for landlords. Homebuyers often request one before purchasing, and businesses may need them for insurance or health & safety requirements. You should consider getting an EICR if:
- Your property hasn’t been inspected in over 5 years
- You’ve noticed flickering lights, tripping circuits, or overheating sockets
- You’ve completed renovations or added new electrical devices
- You are renting out a property (required by law)
