In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore why EICRs are essential for homeowners, landlords, and businesses throughout the Scottish capital and its surrounding areas.

What is an EICR?

Comprehensive Electrical Assessment

An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is a detailed assessment of the electrical systems within a property:

  • Thorough Examination:
    Conducted by qualified electricians, such as our NAPIT certified professionals.

  • Identification of Issues:
    EICRs thoroughly examine all electrical installations to identify potential hazards, defects, or areas requiring improvement..
