What electricians do
Electricians install and maintain the wiring, fuseboards, sockets and lighting that keep your home safe and running. Because bad electrical work is a genuine fire and shock risk, much of it is legally controlled in Ireland: works like a new fuseboard or a rewire must be certified by a Registered Electrical Contractor and issued with a completion certificate. Never cut corners here — always insist on the paperwork.
