Question 1

Is an EICR the same as PAT testing?

Accepted Answer

No. An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) assesses the fixed electrical installation, including wiring, sockets, lighting circuits and consumer units or distribution boards. PAT testing concerns electrical appliances and equipment. Appliance testing is a separate service and is not included in an EICR.

Question 2

Will the power need to go off?

Accepted Answer

Yes, parts of the inspection and testing require the power to be switched off. We’ll discuss access and expected interruptions beforehand so you can prepare. Please tell us about any essential equipment, IT systems or other supplies that need special arrangements.

Question 3

Does an older installation automatically need a rewire?

Accepted Answer

No. Age alone does not mean an installation needs replacing. Its condition and the inspection and test findings determine what action is needed. We’ll explain any defects, their significance and the recommended next steps, whether that involves targeted repairs, upgrades or more extensive work.
