EICR vs. EPC - What is the difference?
An EICR is a detailed report that assesses the safety of electrical installations within a property. Carried out by a qualified electrician, it is a legal requirement for landlords in the UK. The report identifies potential electrical hazards to ensure the safety of tenants and compliance with regulations.
On the other hand, an EPC measures the energy efficiency of a property, assigning a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). This certificate is required whenever a property is built, sold, or rented and helps inform buyers or tenants about energy usage and potential costs. Both documents are essential for property management, with the EICR focusing on electrical safety and the EPC providing insights into energy efficiency.
When Do I Need a EICR?
In the UK, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is legally required for landlords to ensure the safety of their tenants. Landlords must have an EICR carried out every five years or upon a new tenancy. It’s also necessary after any major electrical work is completed or if there is any concern about the safety of the electrical system. Regular EICRs help identify any potential hazards, such as faulty wiring or outdated circuits, ensuring the property is safe for occupants.
For homeowners, while an EICR is not legally required, it’s still a good idea to have one carried out every 10 years, or sooner if you suspect an issue with your electrics. Additionally, businesses are required to conduct safety checks to comply with health and safety regulations, ensuring their electrical systems are safe for employees and customers. A thorough safety check can detect issues before they become dangerous, giving you peace of mind that your property’s electrical systems are secure and up to standard.
