Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need an EICR for a rental property?

What do the codes on an EICR mean?

C1 indicates danger present and requires immediate remedial work. C2 means potentially dangerous and should be addressed urgently. C3 is an improvement recommendation. FI means further investigation is required. Any C1 or C2 codes must be remedied within 28 days.
