How electrical jobs should be done
Electrical faults need to be found safely and methodically. A tripping RCD, for example, is a symptom, not the fault itself. In Ireland, new circuits and electrical installations must be completed by a Safe Electric registered electrical contractor, who issues a Completion Certificate. This matters for safety, insurance and when you sell the house.
What usually 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
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

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
How do I know if my house needs rewiring?
Old rubber or fabric-covered cables, a fuse board with rewireable fuses, no RCD protection, scorched sockets or frequent faults are all signs.
How much does a electrician cost in Dublin?
It depends on the job. Our electrical cost guide lists typical Dublin prices for each service, from €100–€200 call-out for emergency electrician upwards.
