Frequently Asked Questions

Do rental properties need mains-wired alarms?

Landlords must meet minimum standards for fire detection. Mains-wired interlinked alarms are the safest way to comply.

How much does smoke alarm installation cost in Dublin?

Typically €80–€150 per mains-wired alarm. The exact price depends on access, the extent of the problem and whether parts or materials are needed.

How urgent is smoke alarm installation?

Every home should have working alarms. If you have none, don't wait.

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.
