What is an eicr report? How to get it

 To have an eicr report though not a legal requirement for renting out your place or a business office but through many other laws, it is an essential certificate that any landlord must-have. A landlord electrical certificate guarantees the excellent condition of electric connections and circuits in the house and turn makes it a safety procedure before renting your home to anyone.

What are the things that are checked for an eicr report?

When getting an Electrical installation condition reports everything from wiring and appliances is checked. These checks include:

·        While checking proper earthing and bonding are ensured.

·         Devices that prevent any form of fire and shock

·        Anything that might hinder the safety of the people living in the house

·        Any damaged accessories, appliances or wirings that can be the potential reason for fire or injury.

How much it costs to get a landlord electrical certificate?

The costs of electrical testing vary from contractor to contractor. Depending on the size of the circuits and the percentage being tested by the contractor will make the pricing vary. A contractor that checks 20% of the circuit will have a lower quote price than the one who will check 80% of the circuit.

Some contractors also charge very less amount for testing the circuit and make up the cost while repairing the circuit. This helps them create an atmosphere of value with the customer and later charge more and make more money.
