An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is an inspection and test of a property’s fixed electrical installation. It assesses the condition and safety of the wiring, consumer unit, sockets, lighting, earthing and other electrical components.
An EICR can identify issues such as damaged wiring, poor connections, inadequate earthing, overloaded circuits and faulty protective devices, helping identify potential electrical safety risks.
The inspection includes a visual assessment followed by electrical testing using professional test equipment. Any defects are recorded using the appropriate EICR classification code, such as C1, C2, C3 or FI.
Once completed, you’ll receive a detailed report explaining the condition of the electrical installation and any remedial work recommended.
For many homeowners, an EICR is commonly recommended every 10 years. Private landlords in England must have their properties inspected and tested at intervals of no more than 5 years, or sooner if required by the previous report.
Commercial properties should be inspected at intervals appropriate to the type and use of the electrical installation.
Chilvers Electrical provides professional EICR testing in Milton Keynes, Newport Pagnell and surrounding areas for homeowners, landlords, letting agents and businesses.
We can also carry out any necessary remedial electrical work identified during the inspection, helping keep your electrical installation safe and reliable.

I needed a video doorbell installing, which proved surprisingly difficult connecting it to my wifi. Ashley was helpful, patient, and successful, and a nice guy as well. Reasonable prices too. Definitely recommended.Posted on Google M AliTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had an EICR carried out along with some other electrical work, and I was extremely impressed with Ashley's knowledge and professionalism. He explained everything clearly, upgraded my fuse board, and also installed an EV charger for me. Another electrician had previously told me that an EV charger couldn't be installed in my preferred location, but Ashley found a solution and completed the installation to a very high standard. The work was neat, tidy, and carried out efficiently. I would highly recommend Chilvers Electrical and will definitely be using them for all my future electrical needs in Milton Keynes.
