EICR Edinburgh: Electrical Inspection & Testing

If you are a landlord in Edinburgh, an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is not optional — it is a legal requirement. Scottish law mandates that all private rental properties have a valid EICR before a new tenancy begins, and existing tenancies must be covered by 1 April 2026.

An EICR is a comprehensive inspection of your property's electrical installations — consumer units, wiring, sockets, light fittings, earthing, and bonding. A qualified electrician assesses whether these systems are safe, compliant with BS 7671 standards, and fit for continued use.

At PowerSource, our EICR process goes further. We provide a pre-inspection checklist so tenants know what to expect, minimising disruption. Our reports are delivered within 48 hours via a secure client portal.
