Need an EICR certificate? PGS can help

An EICR is an Electrical Installation Condition Report. This is an in-depth check of all the electrical circuits in a property and highlights any potential dangers such as deterioration, defects, damage, or non-compliances with present day safety standards.

PGS Electrical Contractors can conduct the check, an EICR Certificate will be produced to the landlord or letting/estate agent which details the safety and overall condition of all the electrical installations and fittings in a property.

Is an EICR a legal requirement?
EICR’s are required by law on all domestic rental properties as of 1st April 2021. These arrangements are as follows:

Any property that has a new rental agreement commencing from the 1st of July 2020 must have a valid certificate supplied to each tenant within 28 days.

Any existing/long term tenancies that don’t have a valid electrical safety certificate should have one by 1st April 2021.

How long does an EICR last?
If it does have an existing EICR, a notice on your fuse board should clearly detail when your next inspection is due.

Generally, for domestic installations in good condition, an EICR is recommended at least once every ten years for homeowners, and is mandatory at least once every 5 years for private rentals.

Should I ask for an EICR when purchasing my new home?
Before purchasing a property, it is always worth asking the current occupier if they have an up-to-date EICR. This will give you an overview of the current state of the electrics in the property.

Do I need an EICR to sell my house?
The law requires you to have an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) if you have had any ‘notifiable’ electrical works carried out on your home since 2005.

Obtaining an EICR can provide a potential buyer peace of mind that the electrics are safe and having all the documentation to hand can speed up the selling process!

How Much Does An Electrical Condition Report Cost?
Prices start from just £150 + VAT (*location dependant).
Our NSI electricians offer the most efficient and professional service.

“Full rewire of my bungalow - Perry, Chris and the team were excellent from start to finish. Competitive pricing, nothing was too much trouble and everything went to plan. I'm delighted with their work, am very happy to recommend them and will definitely be using them again. A great job!”

Christine Sillis

“Called PGS to get a quote for electrical work in my garage. Perry was out the next day and turned round the quote really quickly. Job was done within a week, new plug sockets added, internal spotlights and LEDS, and outside lights.”

Paul Davison

“Very friendly and helpful. They replaced our electric shower in good time for a good price!”

Josh

“Came out at relatively short notice and was very friendly and honest about what was best for us. Communication is a bit slow but running a business is very demanding. Fitter was on time and very polite, made a very tidy job of the three consumer units etc so would happily recommend.”

Andrew Dodd

“Excellent prompt, efficient service from Perry and his young chap. Will definitely use again and recommend.”

Gill Dolling

“I contacted Perry @ PGS after being let down by numerous electricians to carry out an EICR Test. Perry came out the next day, on time as promised. He carried out all remedial works, again on time, with in the time quoted and the price did not change from the original quotation. (A few extras on the day, he didn't charge me for). I really cannot recommend Perry enough, I will be sure to contact PGS for more works in the future. Well Done.”

Troy Hickford

“5 days from 1st enquiry to finish with panels up and running again, good job.”

Martin Steward

“Excellent service”

Natasha

“I would like to thank Chris who installed 17.4 kWh Solax Batteries, an EPS system, 6.8 kWh Solar Panels and a Solar iBoost+ in my home. He did a fantastic job with Lee and Liam. Chris is very knowledgeable about Solar and knew exactly what I required. Arrived as arranged and completed the job on time as promised. Very professional in everyway. I would totally recommend you obtain his services through PGS.”

Lady & Daisy!

Victoria Price

“Perry and team installed new storage heating and 2.45kw solar installation. Very pleased with workmanship very professional would highly recommend.”

Gary Young

“First time user of PGS services. Perry was quick to respond to a relatively small but tricky problem (a flickering downlight). I wasn't able to remove the unit through the ceiling hole and couldn't easily access it via our loft. He was efficient, effective and knowledgable. Fault was fixed the same day that I rang him, recommended.”

Bob Mace

“Service was brilliant from start to finish. The guys who worked at our house were very respectful and professional. Would definitely use them again.”

Mark Montgomery

“Perry was very prompt in replying to my enquiry about work to be carried out at my property. Perry arrived a few days later to carry out a full survey on the work required. Again, a few days later he arrived promptly on time with two of his team. I cannot recommend Perry and his team highly enough.”

Lynn wendt

“Supplied and installed a Solax AC coupler with inverter and 17.4 KW battery pack with EPS. Thanks to Perry and his team for going the extra mile throughout the installation and commissioning of this system. We can highly recommend this company.”
