Why electrical safety matters for every property
Landlords have a legal duty to ensure that the electrical installation in any rented property is safe at the start of a tenancy and maintained in a safe condition throughout. An Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) is the recognised way to demonstrate that duty has been met.
An EICR assesses the condition of all fixed wiring, consumer units, sockets, switches, and associated fittings. It identifies anything that does not meet current safety standards and grades each issue, so you know exactly what needs attention and when.
Regulations introduced in 2020 require all private landlords in England to have an EICR carried out at least every five years, or at the start of a new tenancy. Gas-elec makes this straightforward to manage across a single property or an entire portfolio.
What an EICR inspection includes
A Gas-elec engineer will carry out a thorough inspection of the fixed electrical installation. This covers:
- Consumer unit and distribution board
- All fixed wiring throughout the property
- Earthing and bonding arrangements
- RCD protection where required
- Any visible signs of damage, overheating, or deterioration
At the end of the visit, you receive a clear report graded according to the standard code system. A C1 observation requires immediate action. A C2 observation requires prompt attention. An FI observation is for further investigation.
What an Electrical Safety Inspection includes
The Electrical Safety Inspection is designed for landlords who need a thorough annual check of the portable appliances and key safety systems within a property, without requiring a full fixed-wiring assessment.
A Gas-elec engineer will carry out the following:
- PAT test of up to 10 appliances provided with the property
- Check for the main earth and bonding to the gas and water services
- Test for viable earth
- Visual check of the consumer unit
- Check for obvious hazards, including exposed wiring, signs of scorching or overheating, and unsafe sockets or light switches
- Test of RCD where present
Who is this service for?
The Electrical Safety Inspection is suitable for landlords who have an in-date EICR in place and need an annual safety check to cover portable appliances and key electrical systems. If your property does not have a current EICR, or if the existing one is due for renewal, see our Electrical Installation Condition Report options above.
Portable Appliance Testing
PAT testing covers electrical appliances that are provided as part of the tenancy, such as washing machines, fridges, kettles, and lamps. Each appliance is visually inspected and electrically tested.
This protects tenants from faulty appliances and gives landlords a documented record that the provided items were safe at the start of the tenancy.
Gas-elec can carry out PAT testing as a standalone service or alongside an EICR in a single visit, keeping disruption to a minimum for you and your tenants.

Frequently asked questions
What is an EICR?
An Electrical Installation Condition Report is a formal assessment of the fixed electrical installation in a property. It checks that the wiring, consumer unit, and associated fittings are safe and meet current standards.
How often do I need an EICR?
At least every five years for most rental properties in England.
Who can carry out an EICR?
Only a competent, registered electrician. Gas-elec uses engineers who are qualified to inspect and test electrical installations in residential properties.
What is the difference between an EICR and a PAT test?
An EICR covers the fixed wiring and electrical installation. A PAT test covers portable appliances provided with the property, such as white goods and lamps. Both can be completed in a single visit.
How quickly will I receive my report?
We aim to upload your report to your portal within 48 hours.
Do you cover the whole of the UK?
Yes. Gas-elec operates nationally and can manage electrical compliance across single properties or large portfolios.
Is an Electrical Safety Inspection the same as an EICR?
No. An EICR is a full assessment of the fixed electrical installation, covering all wiring, the consumer unit, sockets, and fittings. The Electrical Safety Inspection is an annual check focused on portable appliances and key safety systems. Both services are available from Gas-elec, separately or combined in a single visit
