What to check before you hire a electrician
- Check the contractor is registered with Safe Electric Ireland (safeelectric.ie)
- Ask for an ETCI Completion Certificate for new circuits, rewires and fuse board changes
- Get a written quote that separates labour, materials and making good
- Ask whether surface trunking or chasing into walls is planned
- Confirm who is responsible for replastering and redecorating after chasing
What affects the price
- Size of the house and number of circuits
- Chasing into walls versus surface trunking
- Accessibility under floors and in the attic
- Out-of-hours call-outs
- Certification and testing
Call-out fees usually cover travel and the first period of labour. Ask whether yours does, and what the hourly rate is after that.
How to compare quotes

- Get a written quote that separates labour, materials and making good
- Ask whether surface trunking or chasing into walls is planned

Compare what is included, not just the headline price. The cheapest quote often leaves out preparation, making good or certification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do electrical quotes vary so much?
Quotes differ in what they include: preparation, parts, making good, certification and guarantees. Ask for an itemised quote so you can compare like for like.
Do these prices include VAT?
Yes, the guide ranges include VAT. Always check whether a written quote is inclusive or exclusive of VAT.
Is it cheaper to book outside peak season?
Often, for planned work. Emergency and out-of-hours call-outs cost more at any time of year.
Why does my electricity keep tripping?
Usually an appliance with a fault, moisture in an outside socket or light, or a damaged cable. Unplug everything on the tripping circuit and reset. If it holds, plug appliances back in one at a time to find the culprit.
Do I need a certificate for electrical work?
Yes, for new circuits, rewires and fuse board changes. A Safe Electric registered contractor issues a Completion Certificate, which your insurer or solicitor may ask for.
What should I do if I smell burning from a socket or the fuse board?
Switch off the power at the main switch if it is safe to do so, and do not use the circuit until it has been checked by an electrician. If there is smoke or fire, call 112 or 999.
