What happens if my EICR comes back unsatisfactory?

Accepted Answer

The report will list C1 (danger now) and C2 (potentially dangerous) items, plus FI where more checking is needed.

One electrician in Newton Abbot says rewire, another says new board. Who's right?

Accepted Answer

Ask both for test results, not opinions. An EICR shows insulation readings and earthing for each circuit, which settles it. If the readings are good, a new board at around £580 is fine. If they're poor or the cable is rubber-covered, budget for a rewire nearer £5,200.

Question 12

What do electricians usually find in Victorian houses in Newton Abbot?

Patchwork. Many of Newton Abbot's terraces were rewired in the 1960s–80s, then added to. Common finds are no earth on lighting, old fuse boxes, sockets on overloaded spurs and flats sharing a supply. An EICR, around £190, shows what's really there before you spend more.
