EICRs

As a landlord or letting agent, ensuring your rental properties meet current electrical safety standards isn't just good practice—it's a legal requirement. At Blue Fox Energy and Electrical Services Ltd, we provide comprehensive EICR testing services that give you complete peace of mind and keep you compliant with the latest regulations.

‍

What is an EICR?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed assessment of your property's electrical installations, wiring, and safety systems. Our qualified electricians thoroughly inspect your property's electrical circuits, identify any potential hazards, and provide you with a comprehensive report detailing the condition of all electrical work.

‍

Legal Requirements for Landlords

Since July 2020, all private landlords in England must have a valid EICR for their rental properties. The regulations require:

• A qualified electrician to carry out the inspection
• Testing to be completed at least every five years
• Any remedial work to be completed within 28 days if classified as C1 or C2
• A copy of the EICR to be provided to tenants and local authorities upon request

Failure to comply can result in substantial fines of up to £30,000, making regular EICR testing essential for responsible property management.
