Electrical Safety Inspections Dublin - Dublin City Electricians

Why You Need a Periodic Inspection Report (PIR)

Electrical safety is no longer optional—it is a statutory and insurance-based requirement.

For Landlords

Under the Housing (Standards for Rented Houses) Regulations, landlords must ensure electrical installations are in safe working order. With the March 2026 Rental Reforms, having a valid PIR is critical to demonstrating your commitment to tenant safety and avoiding RTB disputes.

For Businesses

The Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act requires employers to maintain a safe electrical environment. A PIR is the primary document used to prove compliance during HSA inspections.

For Homebuyers

Most mortgage lenders and surveyors in Dublin now insist on a professional electrical survey before a sale can proceed. We help you avoid "last-minute" deal-breakers by identifying potential issues early.

How much does a Periodic Inspection Report (PIR) cost in Dublin?

The cost for a standard 3-bedroom home typically ranges from €350 to €550, depending on the number of circuits. Commercial properties are quoted based on the size and complexity of the installation.

Will you have to turn off the power during the inspection?

Yes. To perform accurate safety tests on the circuits, the power will need to be switched off for short intervals. We schedule these outages at times that minimize disruption to your home or business operations.

What happens if my property "fails" the inspection?

A PIR is a "report on condition," not a pass/fail certificate. If we identify a Code 1 (Immediate Danger), we will notify you immediately to isolate the circuit. We then provide a transparent, fixed-price quote to carry out the necessary remedial works.

How long does it take to receive the final report?

We aim to deliver your digital report within 24 to 48 hours of the physical inspection. All reports are provided in a high-resolution PDF format, making them easy to forward to insurance companies, solicitors, or the RTB.

Do you perform "PAT Testing" for portable appliances as well?

Yes. For our commercial clients, we often combine the PIR (Fixed Wiring) with PAT Testing (Portable Appliances like kettles, PCs, and tools) to provide a complete "one-visit" safety solution for your workplace.

What Our Comprehensive Inspection Includes

We don't just "look" at your sockets. We perform a deep-dive diagnostic into your property’s electrical health using the latest 2026 testing equipment.

Visual Inspection

We check for cracked sockets, exposed wires, and signs of overheating (scorching) at the consumer unit.

Continuity & Insulation Testing

We measure the resistance of your wiring to ensure there are no hidden leaks or "shorts" behind your walls.

RCD & Safety Trip Testing

We simulate a fault to ensure your safety switches trip within the millisecond-requirements set by I.S. 10101:2020.

Earthing & Bonding Verification

We confirm your property is correctly earthed, preventing metal surfaces from becoming "live" in a fault.

Official Digital Report

You receive a detailed report categorizing any issues from Code 1 (Danger Present) to Code 4 (Non-compliance).
