### How much does an EICR cost?

The EICR price is based on how many circuits you have in your property, and it will also depend on having a previous TEST certificate.

### How often should you carry out an EICR check?

For rented domestic properties it’s every 5 years, and for commercial properties/businesses, it’s every 5 years.

### How long does it take?

The EICR will depend on the size of the installation, if it is 10-15 circuits it is usually a day.

### Who can carry out an EICR test?

You need to be a fully qualified electrician to do the job and be approved by NICEIC.
