Question 6

Are your prices fixed or hourly?

Accepted Answer

We provide fixed-price quotes wherever possible so you know exactly what you will pay before any work begins. For smaller or time-based jobs we charge an agreed hourly rate, confirmed upfront. There are no hidden charges.

Question 7

Can you rewire my home?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Full and partial rewires are a core part of what we do. Every rewire is carried out to ET 101 Irish wiring regulations and includes an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR) on completion.

Question 8

What is an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)?

Accepted Answer

An EICR is an official inspection report that assesses the safety and condition of an electrical installation. It is required when selling or renting a property in Ireland and is recommended every 10 years for owner-occupied homes. We issue fully certified EICRs.

Question 9

Do you work on commercial properties?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work across residential, commercial, and light industrial properties. Our commercial services include fit-out wiring, three-phase supplies, distribution board installation, and ongoing maintenance contracts.

Question 10

How long does a typical job take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the scope. A consumer unit upgrade typically takes a full day. A full rewire of a 3-bedroom home takes 3–5 days. An EV charger installation usually takes 2–4 hours. We always give you a realistic timeframe before we start.
