Properties in South West Dublin and what that means for electrical inspection
1930s–1950s semi-detached homes in Terenure, Kimmage, Walkinstown and parts of Rathfarnham, big 1970s–1980s estates in Tallaght, Firhouse and Knocklyon, and newer apartments around Citywest.
1930s–1960s houses may have wiring from earlier rewires and older fuse boards without full RCD protection. 1970s–1990s installations are usually sound but often lack modern RCD protection and have been added to over time. Newer installations tend to pass, but common-area systems in apartment blocks need regular testing, including emergency lighting.
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
