Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an EICR cost in Devon?
EICR costs in Devon start from £250 plus VAT for properties up to 8 circuits. We charge £50 per room upwards. For properties with more than 8 circuits, we add £25 per additional circuit. Commercial EICRs are quoted individually based on size and complexity.
Is an EICR a legal requirement for landlords?
Yes, since April 2021, landlords in England must have a valid EICR before letting a property and renew it every 5 years. Failure to comply can result in fines up to £30,000.
How long does an EICR take?
A typical 3-bedroom house takes 3-4 hours. Smaller flats take 1-2 hours, while larger or commercial properties may take a full day. We work efficiently while being thorough.
What happens if my property fails the EICR?
If issues are found, we'll provide a detailed report and quote for remedial work. Landlords must complete repairs within 28 days for C2 codes. We can often do minor repairs on the same visit.
What's the difference between EICR and PAT testing?
An EICR tests the fixed electrical installation (wiring, sockets, consumer unit). PAT testing checks portable appliances (kettles, computers, etc.). Both may be needed for full compliance.
