The Safe Electric certificate after a rewire

A rewire is work you will never see again once the walls are closed. The certificate is how you know it was done to standard.

What it is

A completion certificate issued by a registered contractor to say the electrical work was completed and tested to the ETCI standard. Every job Ian does ends with one.

What to do with it

Keep it with the house papers. It is the record of the work, and it is what you will hand over if you sell the house or if anyone asks.

How to check an electrician is registered

Safe Electric keeps a public register. Search for the contractor’s name. Ian is listed as Ian Walsh T/A Renew Electrical, in Blanchardstown, Dublin 15, registration number A6945.

Ask before you hire

Whoever you are comparing, ask three things: are you on the register, will I get a certificate, and will the quote be itemised. Ian’s answer to all three is yes.

Reviews help too

Ian’s customers have left Google reviews, and you can read some of them on this site. The reviews are Google’s own, so you can check them where they were written.
