Properties in South Dublin City and what that means for electrical inspection
Some of Dublin's densest period housing: Victorian and Edwardian red-brick in Ranelagh, Rathgar, Harold's Cross, Sandymount and Donnybrook, larger period homes in Ballsbridge, and 1930s–1960s suburbs in Churchtown and Dundrum. Many streets are conservation areas and some homes are protected structures.
Period homes and converted flats often have old wiring, several consumer units and limited earthing, so inspections frequently turn up significant defects. 1930s–1960s houses may have wiring from earlier rewires and older fuse boards without full RCD protection.
What to check before you book a electrical inspection provider
- Check the contractor is Safe Electric registered (safeelectric.ie)
- Ask for a Periodic Inspection Report with defects clearly categorised
- Get repair prices separately from the inspection price
- For PAT testing, ask for an itemised register with pass or fail results
- Keep reports for insurance, lettings and sale
