Landlord Electrical Safety Certificates (EICR & PAT)
Order with confidence
Electrical installations age; connections loosen, insulation degrades, and loads change as tenants bring new appliances. Periodic inspection keeps tenants safer and gives you documentation if something goes wrong.
Book an EICR or PAT with Rent Setu and keep a clear, date-stamped trail that you took reasonable care of the installation and supplied equipment.

Assure, Secure, Preserve
For the continued safety of your tenants and your business, it is important to get regular electrical safety checks.
An electrical installation includes all fixed electrical equipment that is supplied through your property's electricity meter. Just like other features of your property, electrical installations deteriorate and face wear and tear, so they need to be properly maintained or you could be putting your tenants at serious risk.
Book your EICR or PAT with us today and rest easy knowing that you have fulfilled your duty in ensuring the safety of your property.

Electrical Installation Condition Report
An EICR is a structured inspection of fixed electrical installations. A registered electrician reviews your distribution equipment, circuits, bonding, and accessories to spot deterioration, overload risk, and shock or fire hazards, then issues a certificate summarising the findings.
For landlords in India, keeping a current inspection on file supports safer tenancies, insurer questions, and society or developer audits when they arise.
Order EICR reportHow often do I need an electrical installation inspection?
For most residential lets in India, a periodic safety inspection of fixed electrical installations is treated as a recurring duty—not a one-off. Many landlords plan an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) on a five-year cycle or at change of tenancy, whichever comes first, and align with insurer or society requirements where they apply.
Do rules vary by city or housing society?
Building bylaws, state electrical inspectorate guidance, and society rules can add extra expectations beyond a standard home. Your qualified electrician will advise on the right scope for your property and any local documentation you should keep on file.
What about shared buildings or multiple units?
If you let rooms or multiple households under one supply, duty-of-care expectations are typically higher. A formal inspection on a sensible schedule helps prove you took reasonable steps to identify overloaded circuits, damaged accessories, and other shock or fire risks across India.
What are the consequences of skipping certification?
Faulty installations and appliances can invalidate insurance, expose you to civil claims, and in serious incidents may attract regulatory or criminal proceedings. Keeping dated inspection records is one of the clearest ways to show diligence.

About PAT testing
Portable Appliance Testing checks moveable equipment that tenants plug in: fridges, washing machines, microwaves, heaters, kettles, TVs, and more—even when they feel “built-in”.
PAT does not replace an EICR, but it is the right tool to prove supplied appliances were inspected, labelled, and safe at a point in time.
Order PAT testingWhat charges apply for landlords?
PAT is usually quoted per visit and appliance count. Bundling PAT with an EICR visit can reduce call-out overhead; final pricing is confirmed after you share the address, access, and appliance list.
What about shared buildings or multiple units?
If you are responsible for portable equipment supplied with the let (white goods, heaters, TVs, kettles, etc.), PAT provides dated evidence that items were tested. For multi-unit homes in India, scale the appliance count and revisit frequency with your electrician.
What are the consequences of skipping certification?
Without test records it is harder to defend a negligence claim after an incident. PAT complements your fixed installation inspection by covering equipment that plugs in or can be moved.
