EICR

Archer Dean prides itself on maintaining electrical safety within your home or business. 

In Scotland, it’s a legal requirement for both private and social landlords to arrange an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) for rental properties at least once every five years.

For properties classified as Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), these inspections must take place more regularly—usually every three years.

Landlords are also required to complete an EICR before any new tenant moves in, ensuring electrical safety from the start of each tenancy.

This isn’t just smart—it’s essential.

At Archer Dean Electrical Contractors, we offer thorough Periodic Electrical Inspection Reports (EICR) for homeowners/landlords and commercial premises throughout North Ayrshire.

Our inspections are designed to protect your property, meet insurance requirements, and comply with Scottish regulations.

What is an EICR?

An EICR is a detailed check of your home’s fixed wiring and electrical systems.

This inspection identifies worn, faulty, or potentially dangerous components before they become a hazard.

Under Scottish law, private landlords must carry out EICRs at least every five years—but every homeowner can benefit from knowing their electrics are safe and up to the latest BS 7671 standards.

Our Process:

Our qualified, SJIB & SELECT-approved electricians inspect every circuit, socket, and fuseboard in your home.

We use the latest testing equipment and methodically record results, giving you a clear, jargon-free report.

If any issues are found, we’ll explain your options—whether simple repairs or upgrades are needed.
