Electrical systems are something most property owners rarely think about until something goes wrong. However, hidden faults, ageing wiring, overloaded circuits and damaged electrical components can all pose serious safety risks if left unchecked. That's where an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) becomes essential.
