Booking an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) in Harrow is easier than ever with RCD Electrical. Whether you're a landlord, homeowner, or business owner, getting your property certified for electrical safety is not only a legal requirement in many cases but also a smart way to protect everyone inside the building.
At RCD Electrical, we make the entire process simple, transparent, and hassle-free. Our local electricians are fully NICEIC-certified and experienced in delivering timely and compliant EICRs across Harrow.
What Is an EICR and Why Do You Need One?
An EICR is a detailed assessment of your property’s fixed electrical systems, such as wiring, sockets, consumer units, switches, and protective devices. It’s a formal report issued after a comprehensive inspection and testing of these systems.
You need an EICR to:
-
Ensure electrical safety
-
Meet legal requirements (especially for landlords)
-
Identify potential fire hazards
-
Comply with insurance policies
-
Avoid fines or tenancy delays
Whether you’re preparing to let a property, renewing your certificate, or purchasing a new home, RCD Electrical is here to make sure everything runs smoothly.
Who Needs to Book an EICR?
Landlords:
In Harrow and across England, landlords are legally required to obtain a valid EICR every five years. A copy must be provided to new tenants and the local authority upon request. Booking with RCD Electrical ensures full compliance and fast certification.
Homeowners:
While not legally required, homeowners should still book an EICR every 10 years, or sooner if selling the property or after renovations.
Business Owners:
If you manage a shop, office, or industrial site, the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 make it your responsibility to ensure electrical systems are safe. Booking an EICR with RCD Electrical helps meet health and safety requirements.
