Why do I need an EICR?

At Definitive Electrical, we are dedicated to providing top-notch electrical services that prioritise safety, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. Recently, we had the pleasure of assisting a homeowner in rewiring their property following an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) we conducted before they purchased the house. In this blog post, we will take you through the process of rewiring and the measures we implemented to ensure our customer's home meets the highest electrical standards.
