How much does an EICR cost?

Understanding the Cost of Your EICR

Transparent Pricing for Every Property:
At AC1 Electrical Services, we believe in clear and upfront pricing. Our rates start at £100 + VAT and adjust based on property size, with detailed pricing available for properties up to 5 bedrooms and commercial premises.

Factors Influencing Cost:
The cost of an EICR primarily depends on a few factors: the size of your property and the number of electrical circuits within your consumer unit. Larger properties or those with more circuits naturally require more time and resources, properties without a gas supply and fully electric homes often have more circuits, as do properties with outbuildings or garages with extra fuse boxes. More circuits mean a more extensive inspection, which is reflected in the cost.

Fixed Pricing and Quality Assurance:
We provide fixed pricing before work begins to avoid surprises. Properties with over 10 circuits incur additional charges at £15.00 Plus VAT per circuit. Be cautious of company's that price their EICR service significantly lower, as a thorough electrical inspection is crucial and should not be rushed, Meaning they often need to compromise elsewhere!

For a cost per circuit after 10 circuits in commercial premises please contact us for guidance.

For any queries or to schedule your EICR get in contact with our friendly team.

The above prices are based on the assumption that there are no more than 10 circuits within a consumer unit or fuse box and that there is no more than one consumer unit or fuse box within your property/premises. There are no more than 10 circuits in the majority of a property's electrical installation, however in some circumstances there are more circuits. I n the case where there are additional circuits above 10, these are charged accordingly at £15.00 Plus VAT per circuit for domestic property's. If you are unsure and would like clarification on what this means, please contact us and we will be happy to help you.

Reasons for getting an EICR carried out

Safety Compliance: To ensure that electrical installations comply with the relevant safety standards and regulations, such as the Wiring Regulations (BS 7671) in the UK.
Legal Requirement: In some jurisdictions, EICRs are legally required at regular intervals for certain types of properties, such as rental properties, commercial buildings, or places with public access.
Insurance: Some insurance providers may require an EICR as a condition for coverage, especially for high-risk properties, to mitigate the risk of electrical shocks, fires, or accidents.
Property Sale or Purchase: EICRs are often requested during the buying or selling of a property to assess the condition of electrical installations and identify any potential issues.
Landlord Responsibilities: Landlords need an EICR to fulfil their legal responsibilities and duty of care towards their tenants, ensuring that their electrical installations are safe and well-maintained.
Tenant Concerns: A tenant or occupant may request an EICR from their landlord if they have safety concerns or suspect electrical problems within a rental property.
Aging Installations: As electrical installations age, they can deteriorate or become outdated. Regular EICRs can identify areas that require maintenance or upgrading.
Renovations or Alterations: Before undertaking significant renovations, additions, or alterations to a property, an EICR can assess the existing electrical infrastructure's capacity and safety.

Previous Electrical Issues: If there have been electrical problems or incidents in the past, an EICR can help determine the root causes and recommend necessary improvements.
Peace of Mind: Homeowners or property owners may choose to have an EICR simply for peace of mind, knowing that their electrical installations are safe and up to code.
Workplace Safety: Businesses may require EICRs to ensure the safety of employees, customers, and visitors, and to minimize the risk of electrical-related accidents in the workplace.
Compliance with Industry Standards: Certain industries or organizations may mandate EICRs to meet specific safety or regulatory requirements.
Homebuyer's Survey: As part of a comprehensive homebuyer's survey, an EICR can provide potential buyers with valuable information about the electrical condition of a property they are considering.
Electrical Fault Diagnosis: When electrical faults or anomalies occur, an EICR can help pinpoint the issue and guide repairs or replacements.
Changes in Usage: If there has been a change in the way a property is used (e.g., conversion from residential to commercial), an EICR can assess whether the electrical system can accommodate the new requirements safely.
Scheduled Maintenance: Regularly scheduled EICRs can help identify and address minor issues or wear and tear in the electrical system before they escalate into major problems. This proactive approach can extend the lifespan of electrical components and reduce the risk of unexpected failures or downtime.

Things to consider when booking an EICR

Duration – The duration of an electrical inspection depends on the size of the property and the number of circuits that are within the consumer unit or fuse board. The more circuits there are the longer the inspection will take. For example, a one bedroom domestic property generally would have on average between 4 to 6 circuits and this would take an electrician around one to one and a half hours to complete. However, if the one bedroom property did not have a gas supply and was all electric, you can expect there to be additional circuits for the electric heating within the fuse board taking the electrician longer to complete. Commercial premises generally have a lot more circuits as the property is bigger and there is more equipment, so the inspection and report can take a lot longer in these situations.
Access – The electrician will need access to your consumer unit or fuse board, as many electrical points as reasonably possible i.e. switches, sockets, lights and other electrical fixtures. They will also need access to all parts of the property and premises so we politely ask for this to be arranged before the inspection takes place.
Disruption – Please be aware that the electric will need to be turned off throughout the duration of the appointment. If you are working from home or if it is your work premises that needs to be inspected you will need to bare this in mind and make alternative arrangements for your power source if you need it

Report Coding explained

C1 - Danger Present: This code (C1) is used when a dangerous electrical condition is identified that requires immediate attention because it poses an immediate risk of injury or fire. The electrical installation is considered unsafe, and corrective action must be taken urgently to eliminate the danger.
C2 - Potentially Dangerous: The C2 code is used when a potentially dangerous condition is found that, while not an immediate threat, requires attention and remediation in the near future. This code signifies that there's a risk of injury or fire if the issue is left unattended. It's a significant issue but doesn't demand immediate action like a C1 code.
C3 - Improvement Recommended: The C3 code is used for situations where improvements to the electrical installation are recommended but are not considered urgent. These recommendations may include enhancements for better safety, efficiency, or compliance with current regulations. While it's not an immediate concern, addressing C3 issues is advisable for long-term electrical safety and performance.
FI - Further Investigation Required: The FI code indicates that the inspector has identified an issue that cannot be fully assessed during the inspection, and additional investigation is needed to determine its severity or extent. This code is used when the inspector encounters a situation that requires more in-depth examination, possibly by a specialist or through more extensive testing.
