 Not carrying out an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) can pose several dangers and risks: 

Electrical Hazards: Faults such as bad wiring, overloaded circuits, or insufficient grounding can go undetected, putting occupants at risk of electric shock and electrical fires. 

Legal Liabilities: Landlords and business owners are legally responsible for the safety of their tenants and employees. Failure to provide a safe environment can result in severe fines or legal prosecution1. 

Insurance Issues: Most insurance companies require an up-to-date EICR to provide coverage. Without it, you might not be covered in the event of an incident, leading to significant financial loss. 

Financial Repercussions: Ignoring EICR recommendations can lead to costly repairs and replacements if electrical issues cause damage. 

Peace of Mind: Knowing that your electrical installation is safe provides peace of mind for homeowners, landlords, and business owners. Regular EICR inspections help identify and mitigate potential electrical hazards, ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone involved. It's always a good idea to have a qualified electrician perform these inspections to maintain a safe environment. 

Ideally yes, to carryout the EICR correctly there would need to be periods of turning off the power, there are some exceptions where power does have to remain on (such as IT server rooms). Alternatively if no circuits can be turned off at all, then the testing would be limited to that, and the certificate would reflect that. 

It is dependant on the installation type, a dwelling is very different to a commercial premises, where time is money. But all down-time can be arranged so that is causes the least disruption as possible. Sometimes there is a requirement for out of hours working.
