Domestic electrical services for new builds and renovations
New and renovated homes often require extensive planning, wiring, and installation work. Registered electricians in Ireland can manage the project from early design to final certification, ensuring full compliance with Safe Electric standards and local building regulations.
First fix and second fix wiring
Electricians carry out the full wiring installation in stages — known as first fix (cables and backboxes) and second fix (sockets, switches, fittings). For renovations, they can strip out old wiring and rewire your home with minimal disruption.
Consumer unit (fuse board) installation
New homes or rewired properties require a modern fuse board with circuit breakers and RCD protection. Electricians will install and label all circuits clearly, with space for future additions like EV chargers or solar panels.
Lighting layout and control systems
Plan and install indoor and outdoor lighting, including downlights, dimmer switches, garden lighting, and smart controls. Electricians can advise on placement, energy efficiency, and future-ready options like LED systems and automation.
Kitchen and bathroom wiring
Specialist wiring is required for electric ovens, hobs, extractors, underfloor heating, LED mirrors, and more. Bathrooms also have specific zoning requirements to ensure electrical safety around water.
Appliance installation and dedicated circuits
Ensure appliances such as immersion heaters, electric showers, and electric cookers have their own circuits with correct cable ratings and isolators. Electricians can install, test and connect these appliances to comply with Irish safety standards.
Network and data cabling
Future-proof your home with CAT6 network points, TV cabling, or home office setups. Electricians can install discreet data cabling during renovations or as part of a new build fit-out.
External wiring and site electrics
Need external sockets, gate automation, outdoor lighting or wiring for a garage, shed, or garden office? Electricians can handle underground cabling, weatherproofing, and RCD protection for all external areas.
EV charger and solar-ready installs
Planning to go electric? New homes are often prewired for EV chargers or solar panel systems. Electricians can install dedicated circuits and future-proof your property for renewable energy upgrades.
Testing, certification and sign-off
Once work is complete, your electrician will test the installation and issue a Completion Certificate in accordance with Safe Electric Ireland standards — essential for ESB connection and home insurance validation.
