What Is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a formal inspection of your home’s wiring, circuits, sockets, and consumer unit. It ensures everything is safe, functional, and compliant with current standards.
Whether you're a homeowner, landlord, or buying a property in Brislington, getting an EICR can help you spot problems early—and avoid costly repairs down the line.
Why Brislington Homes Often Need EICRs
Many homes in Brislington were built in the 1930s to 1970s, which means the wiring may be outdated or even unsafe. We regularly see:
- Old fuse boards with no RCD protection
- Outdated cable insulation (rubber or fabric)
- Loose sockets and corroded fittings
An EICR identifies these risks and recommends fixes to bring your home up to spec.
What Happens During an EICR?
When you book an EICR with Burridge Electrical, here’s what to expect:
- We’ll inspect the fuse board and circuit protection
- Test outlets, switches, and lighting circuits
- Check earthing and bonding for safety
- Look for signs of damage or wear
- Provide a clear report with a PASS or list of recommended actions
The average home takes around 2-4 hours, and we’ll always explain things in plain English.
