Find an ElectricianElectrical Services in Ireland, from Rewires to EV Chargers
Electrical services in Ireland cover far more than a light that has stopped working. A full house rewire, a fuseboard upgrade, an EV charger, a periodic inspection or a set of interconnected smoke alarms are all jobs a homeowner needs at some point, and each one carries its own rules, its own cost and its own paperwork. Everything here brings those jobs together in one place, so you can understand the work before you ever pick up the phone.
Most of that work is notifiable, which means it has to be carried out and certified by a RECI-registered electrician under Irish law. That covers new circuits, consumer unit replacements, rewires and extensions, from a terraced house in Dublin to a bungalow in Galway or a farmhouse in Cork. The electrician signs the job off and issues the completion certificate your insurer, lender or buyer will look for later.
Whichever job you need, the next step is the same: find a registered contractor who works in your county. Every electrician listed here is checked against the public Safe Electric register before they appear, across all 26 counties, from Donegal to Wexford and Kerry to Louth. Pick your county, see who covers your area, and contact them directly.

Why RECI Registration Matters
RECI registration under the Safe Electric scheme is not a badge, it is the law for notifiable electrical work. Hiring outside the register puts your compliance, your insurance and your completion certificate at risk.
Legally Certified Work
Only a registered electrician can self-certify notifiable work and issue a valid completion certificate.Your Insurance Holds Up
Using an unregistered electrician can void the cert your insurer, lender or buyer relies on.Assessed and Competent
Registration means the contractor has passed Safe Electric's competency assessment for electrical work.
Your Electrical Questions, Answered
How much does it cost to hire an electrician in Ireland?
Most call-outs and small jobs start around €80 to €150, while larger notifiable work like a fuseboard upgrade starts around €450 and a full rewire from roughly €3,500. Figures are typical, not a quote.
Do I need a registered electrician to change a fuseboard?
Yes. A consumer unit replacement is notifiable work and must be carried out and certified by a RECI-registered electrical contractor.
What is a completion certificate and do I need one?
It is the document a registered electrician issues after notifiable work, confirming the job meets the national wiring rules. Insurers, mortgage lenders and buyers routinely ask for it.
How do I check if an electrician is Safe Electric registered?
Search their name or RECI registration number on the public Safe Electric register, or use our check tool. Every electrician listed on this site is already verified against it.
How long does a full house rewire take?
A typical three-bedroom home takes about five to ten working days, depending on size, access and whether the house stays occupied during the work. Your electrician will confirm a timeline before starting.
Can I get an SEAI grant for a home EV charger?
Yes. The SEAI home charger grant currently takes €300 off the cost of a home charge point, once the work is done by a registered installer. Your electrician handles the grant paperwork.
How soon can an electrician call out?
Many electricians offer next-day or same-week appointments, and most treat a total loss of power or a burning smell as an emergency. Contact a few local contractors to compare availability.
What areas of Ireland do you cover?
The directory lists RECI-registered electricians in every county. Pick your county to see verified local contractors along with their phone number and contact details.
How much does it cost to rewire a house in Ireland?
A full rewire usually starts around €3,500 and rises with the size and age of the house. A three-bed home typically falls in the €3,500 to €8,000 range, including a new consumer unit and certification.
Do I need an electrician to install a home EV charger?
Yes. A home EV charger runs on its own dedicated circuit and counts as notifiable work, so it has to be installed and certified by a registered electrician. Most will also handle the SEAI grant paperwork for you.
What is IS 10101?
IS 10101 is the national rules for electrical installations in Ireland, the standard that all new wiring and notifiable work must meet. A registered electrician certifies the job against it on completion.
How do I find a registered electrician near me?
Pick your county on this site to see RECI-registered electricians who cover your area, each checked against the Safe Electric register. You can then call or message them directly, with no fee and no sign-up.
