Homes in West Dublin & Leixlip and what that means for electrical
1960s–1980s estates in Palmerstown, Clondalkin and older parts of Lucan and Leixlip, a historic village core in Chapelizod, and one of Dublin's newest planned towns in Adamstown.
1970s–1990s houses usually have PVC wiring in reasonable condition but older fuse boards that are worth upgrading to modern RCBO protection. Newer homes have modern boards and wiring, so faults tend to be appliance-related, outdoor circuits or EV and solar additions. 1930s–1960s houses have often been rewired once, but the fuse board may lack modern RCD protection and circuits can be overloaded by modern appliances.
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
Do you cover Chapelizod, Palmerstown, Lucan, Leixlip, Adamstown and Clondalkin?
Yes. West Dublin & Leixlip includes Chapelizod, Palmerstown, Lucan, Leixlip, Adamstown and Clondalkin. If you are just outside these areas, get in touch anyway.
What electrical issues are common in West Dublin & Leixlip?
1970s–1990s houses usually have PVC wiring in reasonable condition but older fuse boards that are worth upgrading to modern RCBO protection. Newer homes have modern boards and wiring, so faults tend to be appliance-related, outdoor circuits or EV and solar additions. 1930s–1960s houses have often been rewired once, but the fuse board may lack modern RCD protection and circuits can be overloaded by modern appliances.
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.
