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.

What to check before hiring a electrician

Credentials that matter
  • Safe Electric / RECIIn the Republic, controlled works must be done by a Registered Electrical Contractor and certified. In NI, look for NICEIC or ECA registration.
  • Completion certificateYou should receive a Cert of Compliance for a fuseboard change, rewire or new circuit — keep it for insurance and resale.
  • Public liability insuranceMin. €2.6m cover on every Hero Verified electrician.
How to hire well
  • Insist on a Registered Electrical Contractor for a fuseboard change, rewire or any new circuit — and get the completion cert.
  • For EV chargers, check they'll handle the ZEVI grant paperwork (worth up to €300).
  • Beware unusually cheap rewire quotes — they often skip making-good and certification.
