Frequently Asked Questions
Do electricians need to be RECI registered in Ireland?
Yes. In Ireland, all domestic electrical work must be carried out by a Registered Electrical Contractor (REC). This ensures the work meets national safety standards and you receive the required completion certificate. Always ask to see RECI registration before hiring.
How much does it cost to rewire a house in Ireland?
A full rewire for a 3-bedroom house typically costs €4,000 - €7,000, depending on the size, accessibility, and whether walls need to be chased. This includes a new consumer unit and all necessary certificates.
How long does a house rewire take?
A typical 3-bedroom house takes 5-7 days to rewire. Larger properties or those requiring extensive chasing can take up to 2 weeks. The electrician will discuss timelines before starting.
What is a completion certificate and why do I need it?
A completion certificate (issued by Safe Electric) confirms the electrical work meets Irish standards. You'll need this for insurance, selling your home, and for any grant applications like SEAI schemes.
Can I do any electrical work myself?
In Ireland, almost all electrical work requires a qualified electrician. Even simple jobs like changing a socket should be done by a professional to ensure safety and insurance validity. You can change light bulbs and fuses yourself.
