Residential Electrical Consultancy Services
Practical electrical expertise across the full range of residential scenarios — from buying a home to building one.
New Build & Extension Design
Design and specification of electrical systems for new builds and extensions. We work with your architect or builder to produce a fully compliant electrical layout — socket positions, lighting circuits, consumer unit specification and cable routes — before any first fix work begins.
Pre-Purchase Electrical Surveys
Buying a home without understanding the condition of its existing wiring is a significant risk. Our pre-purchase electrical survey gives you a clear, independent assessment of the wiring condition, identifies any hazards, outdated systems or remedial work required, and gives you the full picture before you sign contracts.
EV Charger Advice & Specification
Thinking about installing a home EV charger but unsure what your property needs? We assess your existing consumer unit, meter tails and earthing arrangement, confirm SEAI grant eligibility, and specify the correct charger and circuit for your home — so when you are ready to install, the specification is already in place.
Home Energy Assessments
We review your home's electrical energy consumption, identify high-usage appliances, inefficient lighting and standby loads, and provide practical recommendations to reduce your electricity bills. Advice covers LED upgrades, smart controls, time-of-use tariff optimisation and solar readiness where applicable.
Fault Diagnosis Consultation
Recurring or complex electrical faults that other electricians have been unable to trace can often be identified with the right diagnostic approach. We carry out a systematic assessment of your installation to identify the root cause of persistent faults — tripping circuits, intermittent failures, nuisance RCD trips and unexplained power loss.
RECI Compliant Advice
All consultancy work is carried out by RECI registered electricians and fully compliant with the ETCI National Rules for Electrical Installations — the governing standard for electrical work in Ireland. You receive clear, written advice that you can present to contractors, architects or insurers with confidence.
