What is Boiler Installation?

A professional process marked by the fitting of a new boiler system into a property is known as a boiler installation. This installment can take place as a replacement for the existing boiler or as a part of an entirely new heating setup. Boiler installation is more than just mounting a unit on a wall; it includes technical planning, system upgrades, safety checks, and, most importantly, certification. All of these factors ensure the efficient and safe working of the boiler system.

A proper boiler installation includes assessing heating, selecting the right boiler, ensuring adequacy of gas supply, upgrading or installing (if needed) pipework, fitting flues and ventilation systems, installing controls, testing the system, and issuing the boiler installation certificate.

Insufficient heating, frequent breakdowns, higher running costs, and safety risks are the potential consequences of a boiler that’s been poorly installed. For this very reason, it is mandatory to make sure that your boiler installation is carried out by a Gas Safe-registered engineer.

Boiler Installation
  • Homeowners replacing old or inefficient boilers often upgrade in motives to improve efficiency, meet safety standards, and reduce energy bills. Better performance, long-term savings, and safer operations are all offered by a new boiler.

  • First-time buyers who are upgrading their property’s outdated heating systems to modern and energy-efficient technologies.

  • Landlords installing boilers in rental properties and ensuring systems that are safe, legally compliant, and energy efficient. This phenomenon further helps them minimize breakdowns, it supports gas safety certification, helps improve tenant comfort, and guarantees compliance.

  • Managing agents that are responsible for multiple units and are reliant on professional boiler installation to guarantee legal compliance and minimize maintenance issues.

  • HMOs, businesses, developers, and commercial premises requiring compliant boiler installations in order to meet safety regulations, ensuring efficient heating, and delivering overall reliable performance.

Boiler Installation Cost

Property, boiler type, and complexity of the work all influence the boiler installation cost. Depending on the property’s demand and its infrastructure, the prices vary.

Typically, a combi boiler installation costs around £1,800 – £3,000, a system boiler installation costs around £2,200 – £3,500, and a converted boiler installation costs around £2,500 – £4,000.

At Landlord Certificate London (LCL), we ensure transparent pricing along with no hidden charges. Moreover, we provide a clear explanation of what’s included and what’s not to avoid any sort of confusion or chaos.

Under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998, all gas appliances, including boilers, are needed to be installed, serviced, or repaired only by a Gas Safe registered engineer.

In case of a new boiler installation, compliance with UK Building Regulations (Part L for energy efficiency and Part J for combustion appliances) is essential. This particular compliance ensures proper ventilation, safe installation, and efficiency standards.

As a landlord, you need to ensure that your boiler is Gas Safe certified and that its functioning is safe and efficient. Moreover, possession of a boiler installation certificate is mandatory.

Homes or landlord insurance can be invalidated in case of incorrect installation or use of an unqualified installer. In such scenarios, due to gas leaks, fire, or any damage, property owners can be held legally liable.

Moreover, most boiler manufacturers require installation by a Gas Safe engineer to validate the warranty. Voided warranties are the consequences of getting an improper installation by an unregistered engineer. This leaves you responsible for all the repairs and replacement costs.

Health & Safety at Work regulations may be breached, and employees may be put at risk, due to incorrect boiler installation, in commercial settings.

Types of Boilers

Combi Boiler – Compact & Efficient

These boilers are ideal for flats and small to medium homes. They provide instant heating without needing a storage tank. They’ve become one of London’s most popular choices due to their space-saving feature, their convenience, minimized installation complexity, and fast hot water supply. Moreover, they are highly energy-efficient, leading to reduced fuel consumption and minimized energy bills. They include smart thermostats and digital controls, making their operations personalized and remote.

 

System Boiler – High-Capacity Heating

A hot water cylinder is involved in these kinds of boilers. These boilers are known to deliver strong water pressure and reliable heating, especially for properties that possess multiple bathrooms or higher hot water demand. To ensure the functionality of multiple taps and showers, unlike combi boilers.

These boilers are ideal for larger homes. System boilers are low-maintenance, compatible, and efficient. These boilers are a popular choice for family homes and high-demand properties, all across London.

Conventional Boiler – Traditional & Reliable

Both hot water and cold-water storage tanks are used by conventional boilers. These kinds of boilers are also known as regular boilers. In the case of houses with traditional plumbing systems, these types of boilers are ideal. Moreover, they are also prioritized in properties where multiple bathrooms demand a simultaneous hot water supply. Dependable heating and high-water storage capacity are offered by conventional boilers.

A legal document issued after a new boiler is installed is called a boiler installation certificate. The completion of the installation by a Gas Safe Engineer is confirmed by this document. Moreover, it provides proof of compliance with Building Regulations.

The boiler certificate is mandatory for landlords renting out property, insurance validation, homeowners selling a property, legal compliance, and council inspections.

A valid boiler certificate is especially important for landlords as it supports annual gas safety checks and protects the landlords from any kind of legal liability.

A common misconception about this certificate is that it’s just another piece of paperwork. A boiler installation certificate is a critical part of the responsibilities of landlords, property managers, and homeowners. This document makes sure that all the heating systems are safe, reliable, and efficient.

For homeowners, this certification is the source of mental peace. Knowing that your boilers have been installed correctly and your property is safe for the people who call it home brings you peace like nothing else. For landlords, this certification forms an integral part of compliance with legal obligations under the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998. A valid certificate showcases how responsible you are as a landlord and how much you care about the safety of your tenants.

There are four steps to ensuring a safe, efficient, and compliant boiler.

A thorough property assessment is the first step of every successful boiler installation. During this step, it’s important to understand the size, layout, number of bathrooms, rooms, and occupancy patterns. Already existing ventilation, pipework, drainage systems, radiators, flue locations, and water cylinders are inspected during this step. When you book your boiler installation with LCL, we ensure that your property (flats, HMOs, or rentals) meets all the current UK safety regulations and legal standards. The correct boiler type and size are determined by this step. Moreover, this step also recognizes if any system upgrades are needed or any potential changes that are being faced. An efficient and safe installation is guaranteed through proper planning during this stage.

The ideal boiler type is recommended once the assessment is done. This boiler type can be combi, system, or conventional. During this step, factors like hot water demand, energy efficiency, future usage, and property size are very carefully considered. Any old boiler units are removed to clear space, and modifications are made to the pipework if necessary, during the preparation part of this step. Flues, ventilation ducts, or pipes may also be installed or relocated by engineers. Preparation also involves making sure the gas supply is adequate to ensure proper functioning from day one.

In the next step, the new boiler is mounted and integrated into the property’s heating system. To prevent any leaks, operational issues, or pressure drops, all the relevant connections are carefully fitted and secured. These connections include gas, water, and heating. Safe expulsion of gases is ensured by installing flues, and in order to meet legal standards, ventilation is thoroughly checked. Thermostats, smart controls, and timers are connected by engineers. This connection ensures efficiency and minimizes energy costs. During this stage, attention to detail is critical as even one small overlooked defect can cause serious issues.

The next step is characterized by making sure that the new boiler is operating safely and efficiently. A boiler installation certificate is issued once the testing is complete. This document is proof of your compliance. Furthermore, knowing your certification is complete brings you peace of mind like nothing else as a landlord.

Energy Efficiency and Running Cost Savings

Improved energy efficiency is one of the core advantages of modern boiler installations. Modern condensing boilers operate on efficiencies over 90%, while older boilers tend to operate at efficiencies as low as 60-70%.

Installing a boiler has the ability to improve heat distribution, reduce heating bills up to 30%, reduce carbon emissions, deliver faster hot water, and lower maintenance costs. On top of that, government sustainability targets are also supported by energy-efficient boilers while improving the EPC ratings, which is a key factor for landlords.

Other than cost savings, these particular kinds of boilers help minimize carbon emissions. This phenomenon helps support environmental responsibility and government sustainability targets. Newer systems are designed to produce fewer emissions and to operate reliably and clearly. These systems demand less maintenance over time, leading to lower repair costs and less disruption for the occupants.

A property’s Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating is significantly impacted by energy efficiency. This factor makes energy efficiency even more critical for landlords. EPC rating is what decides how attractive your rental property appears to the tenants.

Smart Controls

An option is provided to upgrade to smart heating and intelligent thermostats when it comes to modern boiler installation services. An enhanced control is provided to the homeowner by these systems. Homeowners can decide when heating is used, which helps in improving comfort while minimizing wasted energy. Smart controls enable heating systems to adapt to daily routines and temperature preferences, something that is missing in traditional thermostats.

Remote temperature control has been made possible through mobile apps when we consider smart heating. This feature allows users to adjust heating from anywhere, anytime. This feature is especially useful for landlords who are responsible for managing more than one property, and it is also ideal for tenants who want to get rid of manual controls.

Enhanced tenant convenience and satisfaction are the result of smart controls. These systems offer user-friendly heating management and reduce common heating-related complaints. Better control, long-term savings, and improved efficiency are provided to landlords through smart systems.

HMOs

High-capacity and compliant heating systems are demanded by HMOs in order to support multiple bathrooms and heating systems. Correct sizing, reliable performance, and safety compliance are all ensured by professional installations.

Commercial Properties

Tailored boiler systems are needed by commercial properties, based on the usage and occupancy. Efficient and high-output heating is supplied by specialist installations. This phenomenon ensures compliance with commercial regulations and any relevant operational demands.

Mixed-Use Buildings

Careful zoned boiler systems are required by mixed-use buildings in order to serve both commercial and residential areas safely. Balanced performance and full regulatory compliance are guaranteed by professional installations.

How Boiler Installations Increase Property Value

Rental Income Potential

Through offering reliable heating and lower energy bills, a new boiler installation maximizes tenant appeal. Running costs are minimized due to efficient systems. These types of systems also help improve comfort and justify higher rents.

Faster Property Sales

Properties tend to sell faster if they contain modern boilers. This is because buyers try to avoid the cost and hassle of replacements. Survey red flags are minimized through a new installation. Moreover, it helps strengthen buyer confidence.

Improved EPC Ratings

EPCs are directly influenced by boiler efficiency. Energy performance is enhanced by installing a modern condensing boiler. Moreover, it also makes properties more attractive to buyers and supports legal compliance.

Reduced Maintenance Costs

Fewer repairs are demanded by new boilers, and they are more reliable. They improve long-term financial performance through reduced breakdowns, lower servicing costs, and minimal unexpected expenses.

Increased Tenant Confidence

Buyers and tenants are reassured with proper certification that the property is well-maintained and safe to be called home. Perceived value is increased due to this trust, and it also helps strengthen the property’s market appeal.

Replacing an Old Boiler

One of the most effective long-term solutions for landlords and homeowners is replacing an old boiler. At first glance, replacing may seem more expensive as compared to repairing, but it is important to note that with a new boiler, you get a lot of extra features like improved reliability, efficiency, and compliance with current relevant safety regulations. Optimal energy efficiency is offered by modern boilers. Moreover, they also help reduce fuel consumption and lower energy bills over time. Prevention of frequent interruptions is also possible through upgrading to a newer and better system. These interruptions may include sudden breakdowns, inadequate hot water supply, or loss of heating.

Due to worn-out components, old boilers become less efficient. This decomposition over time leads to higher running costs, inconsistent heating, and hot water delivery. Furthermore, the current Building Regulations or Gas Safe standards are most likely not to be met by boilers that are almost a decade old. Due to this ignorance, landlords are prone to facing legal consequences.

Repairing an Old Boiler

In case of a new boiler or a minor issue, repairing is a feasible option. A faulty thermostat, valve, or pump are minor issues that can easily be fixed through repairs without the expense of a full replacement. However, if these minor issues, have started taking place frequently, repeated repairs may become costly overtime. These may also cause some other major issues like disrupting the heating and hot water supply.

Age-related wear and tear are very common among older boilers. In such cases, repairs gradually become less effective over time. Moreover, older systems tend to lack modern efficiency controls or safety features. Therefore, it is better to get replacements instead of relying on repeated repairs.

Furthermore, this decision also depends on the age of the boiler. If your boiler is 10-15 years old, it is better to get a replacement because minor repairs may extend a boiler’s life span in the short run but they fail to address the underlying significant issues that can become troublesome if left ignored for a long period of time.

Annual Boiler Servicing

In order to maintain the safety, efficiency, and reliability of a gas boiler, annual boiler servicing plays a mandatory role. For landlords, gas safety obligations come from annual boiler servicing. The inspection of critical components is made possible through regular servicing. Moreover, it enables qualified engineers to check ventilation, test combustion levels, and ensure the safe operations of the system. Worn parts, minor faults, or efficiency issues are easily detected through this process. These minor faults, if left ignored, can lead to bigger and more expensive problems.

Carbon monoxide and leak prevention are also guaranteed through annual boiler servicing. This kind of preventions save tenants from serious health risks while making sure your property stays compliant.

Not getting your regular checks done when it comes to boilers can lead you and your property to face a lot of issues. These issues, most of the time, leave a long-term impact and are much more expensive and complex to deal with.

The following are some potential risks in case of ignoring or overlooking annual servicing:

  • An absence of regular servicing leads to increased safety risks, putting occupants at serious risk.

  • Without annual servicing, small issues are more likely to worsen over time, leading to unexpected breakdowns and costly emergency repairs.

  • Less efficiency is the result of an unserviced boiler, resulting from wear and buildup.

  • Annual servicing is required by most boiler warranties. Voided warranties are the consequence of skipping servicing.

  • In the case of landlords, ignorance can lead to fines, enforcement action, problems during inspections, or insurance claims.

For ensuring safety, efficiency, and long-term performance, choosing the right type of boiler is something you cannot overlook. In case of any poor decisions at this stage, compliance issues are likely to take place along with higher costs and reduced comfort. During this step, an adequate understanding of boiler types, common mistakes, and the value of professional services is mandatory, as it helps property owners to make informed choices.

Property size, type, and existing heating infrastructure are all considered while making the right boiler choice. The optimal performance of the selected kind of boiler is ensured by a professional assessment.

It is common for boilers to fail, even the most reliable ones. Due to these kinds of sudden breakdowns, homes, commercial properties, or HMOs are left without heating and hot water.

Unqualified repairs or DIY attempts can worsen the situation. Therefore, professional emergency support is critical in order to ensure safety and avoid gas leaks and UK safety regulations violations.

It is important to always opt for professional boiler installation services due to the following reasons:

At Landlord Certificate London (LCL), we guarantee minimum stress when it comes to professional boiler installation services.

It is crucial to note that even small mistakes during boiler installation can lead to significant issues. Residents are prone to being left without hot water or unsatisfactory heating during peak demand, due to choosing the wrong boiler size. On the other hand, an oversized unit is likely to increase energy bills and waste fuel. Safety tends to get sacrificed due to flue and ventilation errors. This sacrifice leads to blockages and water damage caused by poorly routed condensate pipes. Furthermore, relying on unqualified installers puts you at a serious legal and financial risk.

The main purpose of Gas Safety regulations is not to add more to your plate but to protect your property and tenants. Adherence to UK building regulations is guaranteed through properly understanding these common mistakes.

Unique challenges are presented by London properties when we consider boiler maintenance and installation. Each type of property demands careful planning in order to guarantee safety, reliable heating, and efficiency.

Some of the key considerations are given as follows:

  1. Space-saving boiler solutions are needed for compact flats.

  2. Higher hot water capacity is demanded by HMOs and shared properties.

  3. System and pipework upgrades may be needed in older buildings.

  4. When we consider tight spaces, flue positioning is required to meet safety regulations.

  5. Performance tends to be influenced by limited ventilation in converted properties.

  6. The integration of new boilers with existing heating systems is mandatory.

Seasonal Boiler Checks

It is a well-known fact that boilers are more likely to perform better if they are maintained in accordance with the changing seasonal demands. Winter checks are more system pressure, heating efficiency, and pipework inspection focused. During these inspections, it’s made sure that the boiler systems are capable of functioning correctly, even under maximum load. On the other hand, summer checks are more drainage, flushing, and corrosion focused. During these inspections, the areas more prone to corrosion are identified and treated accordingly.

Minor issues are identified during regular seasonal inspections in order to reduce emergency breakdowns and in motives to maintain energy efficiency properly. These inspections also help in extending the lifespan of boilers.

Electrical Boilers

Electric boilers convert electricity directly into heat without needing a gas supply. These boilers provide both hot water and central heating. Electrical boilers possess features that make them ideal for small homes, flats, or properties where gas is not readily available. These features include being compact, easy to install, and quiet. These boilers cause minimal heat loss by operating efficiently at the point of use. In smaller properties, this phenomenon is capable of improving overall energy efficiency.

Gas boilers have a lower running cost compared to electrical boilers due to high electricity prices, but at the same time, electrical boilers are much safer. These safer alternatives require no fuel or complex ventilation, and they do not produce carbon monoxide, which is a big win.

Electrical boilers include fewer moving points leading to them being more reliable and possessing fewer maintenance requirements. Moreover, a professionally done installation ensures the compatibility of the system along with its compliance with relevant UK safety regulations.

Gas Boilers

Gas boilers offer powerful and reliable heating and hot water, making them the most popular heating solution in the UK. These types of boilers are most commonly used in HMOs and commercial properties. These boilers are more cost effective as compared to electrical boilers as they are connected to the main gas supply. Gas boilers come in a lot of varieties, like combi, system, and conventional models. The right type of boiler is selected for your property by engineers, depending on the property size, number of bathrooms, and occupancy demand.

In order to ensure that your installation is safe, it is important to get it done by a Gas Safe-registered engineer. The engineer ensures that all gas connections are satisfactory, ventilation is compliant, and the flue is positioned correctly.

High energy-efficiency is demonstrated by modern gas boilers. This advancement helps reduce environmental impact by lowering fuel bills. Gas boilers are ideal for commercial premises and large family homes.

Reliable, Widely Available Fuel

 

Natural gas is known for its cost-effectiveness and high efficiency and it is also the most commonly used in the UK for heating purposes. It is ideal for HMOs, homes, and commercial properties because of its consistent heat output feature.

Moreover, it is very common for gas to be supplied through main connections, which makes it a convenient choice for urban properties. It is mandatory to ensure safety, correct systems, and compliance through professional installations while opting for natural gas.  

Flexible, Off-Grid Solution

The portable fuel stored in tanks is known as LPG. LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum Gas, and it is ideal for rural or off-grid properties. These types of areas don’t have ready access to main gas, so LPG is used as it provides a similar energy output to natural gas. LPG is a little more expensive as compared to main gas, but its flexibility and independence from the main supply justifies its cost.

In order to guarantee safe storage, compliance, and pressure regulation, professional installations are a need in this case as well.

Sustainable, Low-Carbon Alternatives

Fuels like biomass, heat pumps, and wood pellets are known as renewable fuels. These types of fuels are specifically designed to cater to properties that are energy efficiency-focused, and their aim is to reduce environmental impact. Biomass boilers are concerned with burning organic materials, and heat pumps are focused on extracting ambient heat from the ground or air, supplying low carbon-heating. For eco-conscious homeowners, developers, and landlords, these types of systems hold priority.

Boilers are assigned a rating, usually ranging from A to G, which is known as an energy efficiency rating. The purpose of this rating is to indicate how efficiently a boiler is converting fuel in to heat. An A rating signals a high-efficiency boiler. These kinds of boilers consume less fuel, offer substantial savings on energy bills, and reduce carbon emissions. A proper understanding of these ratings is needed in order to select a new boiler. This phenomenon helps with upfront installation costs and with long-term operational savings.

A high-efficiency boiler helps in improving the property’s overall comfort. This improvement is achieved by maintaining a consistent heating and hot water supply. Boilers with a low rating struggle to be energy efficient. Moreover, these kinds of low-rated boilers tend to lose heat and work harder in order to meet demand, leading to higher bills. Through a professional installation, peak efficiency, compatible controls, and optimal flow rates are ensured.

Furthermore, property value and efficiency ratings are closely linked as properties with efficient boilers appear to be more attractive to tenants and buyers.

In order to obtain safe and efficient boiler operations, proper management of condensate drainage and flue positioning is compulsory. The acidic water that is formed during combustion in a modern high-efficiency boiler is called condensate, and it is needed to be carefully removed through pipes. This process is important to avoid freezing, leaks, or blockages. On the other hand, flues are responsible for the safety venting of exhaust gases. These gases include carbon monoxide, and their removal from the property is essential. In case of blocked or poorly positioned flues, or poorly routed condensate pipes, serious safety hazards can take place. These hazards include boiler malfunctions, water damage, and carbon monoxide exposure.

The compliance of all flue and condensate systems is ensured by professional engineers. Picking out the right materials, making sure to position pipes and flues in an accessible manner, and conducting tests to confirm proper operation are all included in a professional check. Furthermore, effective condensate also plays a key role in enhancing boiler efficiency.

Boiler Noise Solutions

Excessive boiler noises are often times an early indicator of underlying issues within the heating system. These noises may include whistling, humming, banging, or gurgling. Incorrect pressure levels, limescale buildup, trapped air, unbalanced radiators, or failing pumps can be the reasons for these noises. At first, this noise may seem insignificant, but if ignore for a long period of times, it can lead to worsening of the situation and reduced overall system efficiency.

Accelerated wear, unexpected breakdowns, and increased energy consumption are some consequences of leaving these noises unchecked and unresolved. Tenant satisfaction is also linked to these noises, as they may cause discomfort. It is mandatory to identify the root of the problem through a professional diagnosis and then take action to eradicate the problem.

A combination of pressure adjustment, component replacement, radiator rebalancing, and pump inspection is used by qualified engineers to resolve issues related to boiler noise. Smooth operation, efficient working of the boiler, and minimum strain on the system are ensured by these corrective measures.

Boiler Troubleshooting

If you want to prevent minor faults from developing into major failures, it is crucial to recognize the early warning signs. Sudden pressure drops, inconsistent heating, visible leaks, unusual noises, or pilot light failures are some important indicators of underlying issues within a system. In case of ignorance, these minor symptoms can further lead to unexpected breakdowns, reduced efficiency, and increased energy consumption.

Potential problems are identified and addressed thoroughly through a well-structured troubleshooting approach. Detailed diagnostics are carried out by professional engineers. During these diagnostics, pressure levels, pipework, safety controls, and internal components are assessed. This phenomenon makes sure that instead of applying temporary fixes, the root cause of the problem is identified and resolved.

Furthermore, timely intervention extends the lifespan of the boiler while making sure your property stays compliant and free from any legal issues. Troubleshooting, for landlords, homeowners, and property managers, helps minimize downtimes and ensures the safe operation of boilers.

How Long Does a Boiler Installation Take?

Factors like the type of boiler being installed, whether any upgrades in the system are necessary, and the condition of the existing heating system, impact the time required for a complete boiler installation.

Frequently asked questions.

An Electrical Installation Condition Report or EICR is a formal, in-depth inspection and report of your electrical installation. It is designed to identify any potential safety risks or hazards that may exist within your electrical system. During the EICR process, all of the wiring systems and accessories will be thoroughly tested using specialist equipment. If any faults are detected, the report will document them and recommend corrective action accordingly.

An EICR Stands for Electrical Installation Condition Report.

An EICR Report or Certificate is valid for five years from the date of issuance. However, depending on the type and function of your installation, this timeframe may vary. Moreover, it’s recommended that an updated assessment be conducted as soon as any alterations have been made to either your building or its components.

EICR Checks are carried out by a qualified electrician in order to guarantee the accuracy of the results. They need to be competent to understand the periodic codes.

Generally, the electrician will have completed a course on routine assessment and testing, be registered with either the Joint Industry Board (JIB) or NICEIC Scheme provider, plus possess an advanced familiarity and expertise in electrical systems.

After inspecting and testing, the electrician will apply a label to the electrical installation normally the consumer unit to indicate the date of the next test. The next inspection date is also recorded on the EICR Test Report.

Should your EICR Check indicate any issues, it is essential that you take swift corrective action to address any potential safety risks. Once all the issues indicated by an EICR has been rectified, you should get a new EICR done, because the failed EICR is only valid for 28 days allowing you enough time to get the remedial works done.

Any new tenancies need an electrical installation condition report or an EICR. Before a tenant moves in, the electrical installations in the property are checked. The certification is usually valid for five years if the EICR Report does not contain any C3 error codes. However, if a new tenants moves in you should get a new EICR regardless if the property has a EICR done previously and if it is still valid.

An EICR Report provides a comprehensive overview of the condition of an electrical installation. It assesses whether it is safe to use and meets current standards. An EICR Report includes a visual inspection, testing of components, and examination of documentation. The report will provide details on any issues found, such as overloading or deterioration of components, and provide recommendations for any necessary repairs or upgrades.

Under the new law starting, April 1st 2021, all rental properties will be legally mandated to possess an up-to-date Electrical Inspection Condition Report (EICR).

The EICR law, part of the Housing Act 2004, is a mandatory requirement in the UK that must be met by landlords. It serves to ensure that rental properties are safe and habitable for tenants.

Under the EICR law, all landlords have an obligation to carry out periodic electrical safety checks on their properties and issue Electrical Installation Condition Reports (EICRs) to tenants. These reports contain detailed information on the condition of the electrical installation, with any faults or discrepancies highlighted for landlords to act on.

The length of an EICR Inspection can vary depending on the size and complexity of the property. There are a range of factors that can affect how long an EICR Inspection takes to complete, including the number of circuits, any potential access issues or safety concerns, and the time it takes for necessary tests to be carried out.

On average, an EICR test can take anywhere from 30 minutes to up to an hour, however the duration may increase if there are any issues or faults that need to be identified and rectified. An electrical contractor will typically start with a visual inspection of the property before moving on to testing each individual circuit using a range of instruments, such as insulation resistance testers.

By April 1, 2021, landlords in England must provide a valid EICR to their tenants within 28 days of inspection. Neglecting to follow this guideline could result in penalties up to £30,000! The Housing Act 2004 mandates that the local authority where the building is situated enforce these new regulations.

Since April 2020, it is mandatory to present an Electrical Installation Condition Report or EICR if you are entering a new tenancy; starting in April 2021 the same rule will apply for all tenancies – regardless of whether they’re old or new.
