## EICR price and what sets it

Your quote covers the visit, every circuit tested and the completed report, all in writing. What moves the figure is how many circuits there are and the time testing takes.
- EICR: from £150
- Smaller properties with a short circuit list take less time and price lower.
- Bigger houses and commercial premises carry more circuits and longer visits.
- Any repair the report identifies is quoted separately, never bundled into the inspection.

## What happens on the day

A visit means testing each circuit with the supply off, then writing the report before leaving.

### A look at the installation first

We start at the consumer unit, learn the layout of the property and hear about anything already worrying you, like a breaker that keeps tripping or dead sockets.

### Circuit by circuit testing

With each circuit isolated in turn, dead and live tests measure insulation resistance and continuity of the protective conductors. Lights and sockets lose power briefly while their circuit is tested.

### Writing the report there and then

Findings are marked on the report by grade: C1 for danger present, C2 where danger could develop, C3 for advised improvement and FI where a closer look is needed.

## Your EICR questions


### Is an EICR the same as PAT testing?

No. PAT testing covers appliances that plug in, while an EICR covers the fixed installation: wiring, sockets, switches, lights and the consumer unit. They are different jobs with different paperwork.

### Will the lights go off during the inspection?

Yes, briefly. Each circuit is isolated in turn for dead testing and then powered back up, so only one part of the property is off at a time.

### What is the difference between C2 and C3?

C2 flags something that could turn dangerous and leaves the result unsatisfactory until repaired. C3 suggests an improvement that is worth doing but does not affect the result.

### Do I need a new EICR when tenants change?

If the existing report is still in date, it can pass to the new tenancy. If it has expired, another inspection and a fresh certificate come first.

### Can the same visit fix what it finds?

The visit is inspection only. What the report identifies goes into a written repair quote, which is separate work you can schedule afterwards with us or another electrician.
