What is an EICR and do I need one?

An Electrical Installation Condition Report checks the safety of your wiring. Private landlords in England must have one at least every five years. Homeowners are advised to get one every ten years or when buying a home.

How do I know if my house needs rewiring?

Warning signs include an old fuse box with rewireable fuses, rubber or fabric-covered cables, scorch marks on sockets, frequent tripping and too few sockets. An EICR will tell you for certain.

Can I do my own electrical work?

Small jobs like replacing a socket faceplate are fine. New circuits, consumer units and bathroom work are notifiable and must be certified. Getting it wrong can also affect your home insurance.

What counts as an electrical emergency?

A burning smell, smoke, sparking sockets, exposed live wires or a total loss of power that is not a local power cut. If it is safe to do so, switch off at the consumer unit.
