Frequently Asked Questions
Why do electrical inspection quotes vary?
Quotes differ in scope: the number of devices or appliances, reporting, certification and whether remedial work is included.
Do these prices include VAT?
Yes, the guide ranges include VAT. Always check whether a written quote does.
How often should an electrical installation be inspected?
As a guide, homes every 10 years or at a change of occupancy, rentals more often, and commercial premises every three to five years, or as your insurer requires.
Is PAT testing a legal requirement in Ireland?
There is no specific law saying 'PAT test', but employers must keep work equipment safe. PAT testing is the usual way to show that.
What is a Periodic Inspection Report?
A report from a Safe Electric registered contractor on the condition of an existing installation, listing any defects and recommendations.
