Not long ago, a landlord in Plymouth contacted us after receiving an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) full of unfamiliar codes and comments. They weren’t sure what any of it meant, or whether the property was even safe to let. This kind of confusion is common, and it’s one of the main reasons we take time to explain every detail of an inspection. Understanding your EICR report doesn’t just help you stay compliant, it ensures you know exactly what’s happening with your electrical system and what actions to take next.
If you’ve recently had an EICR inspection and want to make sense of the results, this guide breaks down what the codes mean, why they matter, and how to respond to them.
Don’t leave electrical safety to chance. Understanding your EICR helps you make informed decisions that keep your property safe, compliant, and efficient.
