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 the fix involves and what it costs
Replace the board with a modern consumer unit with RCBO protection, test every circuit and issue a Completion Certificate.
Typical Dublin price: €700–€1,300. The final price depends on:
- 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

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a fuse board replacement take?
Usually a single day, with the power off for several hours.
How much does fuse board replacement cost in Dublin?
Typically €700–€1,300. The exact price depends on access, the extent of the problem and whether parts or materials are needed.
How urgent is fuse board replacement?
Not an emergency, but scorching or buzzing is urgent.
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.
