About This Calculator

This EICR renewal calculator helps landlords and homeowners determine when their Electrical Installation Condition Report expires. EICRs are valid for 5 years for rental properties. Enter the date of your last EICR to see your expiry date, days remaining, and whether you need to act now. Landlords who let their EICR lapse risk fines of up to £30,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need an EICR?
Landlords must have an EICR every 5 years under the Electrical Safety Standards in the Private Rented Sector (England) Regulations 2020. Homeowners are advised to have one every 10 years, or when buying a property. The certificate may also recommend an earlier re-inspection if issues are found.
What if my EICR has already expired?
If you are a landlord and your EICR has expired, you are in breach of regulations and could face a fine of up to £30,000. Book a new EICR as soon as possible. You must provide the report to your tenants within 28 days of the inspection.
Can I renew my EICR early?
Yes — you can have a new EICR carried out at any time. The new 5-year period starts from the date of the new inspection, not from the expiry of the old one. Many landlords book 2-3 months before expiry to allow time for any remedial work.
