What does an electrician do?
Safe Electric-registered electricians for sockets, fault-finding, fuse board upgrades, rewires, and emergency callouts. Vetted and insured, across Ireland.
Electricians handle the wiring, fittings, and electrical systems that keep a home running safely. Whether you need a single socket added, a fault traced and fixed, an emergency electrician for a dead circuit or a burning smell at the fuse board, or a full house rewired, a qualified electrician is the only person who should be touching a consumer unit, mains supply, or fixed wiring. Electrical faults rarely fix themselves — a breaker that keeps tripping, flickering lights, or a warm socket faceplate all point to problems worth diagnosing early.
In Ireland, all certifiable electrical work must be carried out by an electrician registered with Safe Electric (formerly RECI). When you hire a local electrician, ask for their registration number and check they hold valid public liability insurance. Common jobs include swapping light fittings, adding sockets and switches, installing extractor fans, fitting smoke and CO alarms, replacing a tripping consumer unit, and getting a Cert of Compliance after the work is done — which you'll need if you ever sell the property. A vetted local electrician will walk you through the scope before starting, issue the cert on completion, and leave the installation safe and fully tested.

How much does an electrician cost in Ireland?
Indicative pricing — your actual quote will vary
Electrician pricing varies by scope, access, and whether it's an emergency callout or scheduled work. The figures below are indicative Irish ranges — for accurate pricing on your own job, insist on a free, no-obligation itemised quote before any work starts. A good quote separates labour, materials, and certification so you can see exactly what you're paying for.
A standard callout typically runs €70–€110, often offset against the work itself. Adding a single socket or replacing a light fitting is usually €80–€160 depending on access and finish. A consumer unit upgrade is €350–€700. Fault-finding on a tripping circuit can range €90–€250 depending on how long it takes to trace. A full domestic rewire on a three-bedroom semi typically lands between €3,500 and €8,000, with most homes in the €4,500–€6,500 band. Out-of-hours emergency work usually carries a premium over standard rates, and any job that needs a Cert of Compliance should include it in the price — check before you accept.
These are indicative ranges based on typical Irish jobs. Final pricing depends on scope, materials, and urgency. On Jobiit your matched trader sends one fully itemised quote (labour, materials, VAT) so there are no surprises.

Electrician FAQs
Do I need a registered electrician for small jobs?
For anything that touches the fixed wiring of your home — sockets, switches, lights, consumer units — yes. In Ireland, certifiable electrical work must be done by an electrician registered with Safe Electric. Plug-in repairs and lamp wiring don't require a registered installer, but anything connected to the mains does. If you ever sell, the buyer's solicitor may ask for a Cert of Compliance for any recent electrical work.
How long does a house rewire take?
A typical three-bedroom semi takes 5–10 working days, depending on whether it's first-fix only or a full re-plaster afterwards. Larger homes or properties with difficult access can take 2–3 weeks. Most rewires require power off for parts of the day, so plan for some disruption. Your electrician should walk you through a day-by-day schedule before starting.
What is a Cert of Compliance and do I need one?
A Cert of Compliance is the document a registered electrician issues confirming work was done to current Irish wiring rules (ET 101). You'll typically need one when selling your house, refinancing, or making an insurance claim that involves the electrics. Always ask for the cert on completion of any notable work — get the registration number on the document, not just the company logo.
What does a tripping fuse usually mean?
A breaker that keeps tripping is signalling a fault — most often an overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance, or moisture in an outdoor socket or shower wiring. It is not a fault to ignore: repeatedly resetting it can mask a serious problem. Have an electrician trace the circuit. Most faults are found and fixed in 1–3 hours.
Can I add an EV charger or solar inverter without rewiring?
Usually yes. Most modern Irish homes can take an EV charger on a dedicated circuit added to the existing consumer unit, and a solar inverter is a separate installation that ties in at the consumer unit too. Your electrician will check the available capacity at your fuseboard. If the board is old or near full, you may need a small upgrade alongside the install.
