I have a 70s purpose-built flat which passed it’s EICR 6 months ago. Back then I didn’t have enough funds to get a new consumer unit so was relieved that EICR passed without me having to upgrade, and I was told everything looks safe.

Now I’m thinking of getting it replaced (it’s still working fine), but will that mean my existing EICR will become invalid, and I’ll have to redo it?

I am getting different advice from different electricians so would appreciate some clarification.

    If you replace it the electrician will certify it – you don’t need to recertify anything else
