Electrical Safety Reports
An EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) from PowerOn Electrical Engineering starts from £150 inc. VAT for a 3-bed house. The price depends on how many circuits and consumer units the property has, and whether previous certificates are available. The inspection usually takes 2 to 4 hours and you receive an official report rated Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory. Any remedial work is quoted separately.
An EICR is an in-depth safety check of your fixed wiring, consumer unit, sockets and light fittings. Landlords need one at least every five years, buyers and sellers often ask for one, and it's the best way for any homeowner to find out what state their electrics are really in.
We start with a visual inspection for wear, damage and outdated wiring, then carry out live and dead testing, sending test currents through each circuit to check the earthing, fault protection and safety devices are all doing their job. Power needs to go off for short periods during testing.
You'll get an official report with anything that needs attention clearly coded and explained in plain English, so you know exactly what matters and what doesn't.
Anything we find is recorded with the standard observation codes: C1 (Danger Present), C2 (Potentially Dangerous), C3 (Improvement Recommended) or FI (Further Investigation Required). The inspection fee covers the full testing and the completed report. Remedial work and further investigation aren't included, so we'll give you a separate, clear quote for anything that needs doing.
