Electrical Certificates & EICRs
An Electrical Installation Condition Report, usually called an EICR, is a detailed inspection and test of the fixed wiring in a property. It checks whether the electrical installation is safe for continued use and highlights any faults, damage, poor connections, missing protection or potential risks.
Electrical certificates are often needed by landlords, homeowners, buyers, sellers, letting agents and businesses. They can help prove the condition of an installation, support legal compliance, identify hidden electrical problems and show what needs fixing before the property is used, rented or sold.
Testing can help uncover issues such as overloaded circuits, damaged accessories, poor earthing, lack of RCD protection, old fuse boards, unsafe wiring and previous electrical work that has not been checked properly.
Zivaa Electrics provides Electrical Certificates and EICRs in Birmingham for landlords, homeowners, businesses, tenants, estate agents and property managers.
Whether you need a landlord electrical safety certificate, an EICR for a rental property, testing before buying a house or an electrical certificate after remedial work, the aim is to give you clear results that are easy to understand.
Electrical testing is often linked with fault finding, consumer unit upgrades, remedial electrical work, smoke alarm installation, emergency lighting checks and commercial electrical maintenance.

Electrical Certificates & EICRs FAQs
What is an EICR?
An EICR is an Electrical Installation Condition Report. It checks the condition and safety of the fixed electrical wiring in a property.
Do landlords need an electrical certificate?
Landlords usually need a valid EICR for rental properties to show the electrical installation has been inspected and tested.
How often is an EICR needed?
Rental properties are commonly tested every 5 years, or sooner if the report recommends it. Other properties depend on usage, condition and risk.
How long does an EICR take?
The time depends on the size of the property, number of circuits and condition of the installation. A small flat is usually quicker than a larger house or commercial unit.
Will my power be turned off during testing?
Yes, some circuits normally need to be isolated during testing so they can be checked safely and properly.
What happens if my EICR fails?
The report will list the issues found. Any dangerous or potentially dangerous items normally need remedial work before the installation can be classed as satisfactory.
What do C1, C2, C3 and FI mean on an EICR?
C1 means danger present, C2 means potentially dangerous, C3 means improvement recommended, and FI means further investigation is required.
Can you do remedial work after an EICR?
Yes, remedial electrical work can usually be arranged after the inspection if faults or safety issues are found.
