Frequently asked questions
How often should a home be tested?
For owner-occupied homes, an EICR every ten years is recommended, or more often for older properties or homes with ongoing problems.
Is testing a legal requirement for homeowners?
No, but it's strongly recommended. For landlords, an EICR is a legal requirement at least every five years.
Will the power be turned off during testing?
Yes, briefly. We explain this in advance and keep disruption to a minimum.
Is PAT testing needed in a home?
Not normally in an owner-occupied home. It's recommended for landlords who supply appliances with a tenancy.
