House Rewiring FAQs
Most Cork homeowners pay between €3,500 and €7,500 for a full house rewire, depending on the size of the property and the condition of the existing wiring. Older homes built before 1980 often need more work due to deteriorating rubber cables or outdated fuse boards. We give you a fixed price after a free site survey — no surprises on the day.
A typical three-bedroom Cork home takes between 5 and 7 working days for a full rewire. Larger properties or those with more complex layouts may take a little longer. We plan the work in stages to keep disruption to a minimum throughout.
Most Cork homeowners stay in their homes during a rewire — we work room by room to minimise disruption. There will be periods each day when power is off to certain circuits, but we plan around your routine as much as possible. We’ll agree a work schedule before we start so you know what to expect each day.
Common signs include fuses that trip frequently, old rubber or aluminium wiring, sockets that spark or feel warm, and a consumer unit without RCD protection. Homes built before 1980 are worth having inspected — the wiring may look fine on the surface but be deteriorating inside. A periodic inspection report gives you a clear picture.
Most home insurance policies don’t cover the cost of a rewire itself, but failing to rewire when recommended can affect your cover if a fault or fire occurs. We issue a Safe Electric certificate on completion, which satisfies most insurers that the installation meets current standards.
Yes — every rewire is certified by a Safe Electric registered electrician and a full certificate is issued on completion. This is a legal requirement under Irish electrical regulations and confirms the installation has been tested to the current ETCI national rules. We also provide a full inspection and test report.
Yes, a partial rewire is the right choice when only specific circuits need replacing — a common situation in Cork homes that have been extended or partially updated over the years. We’ll assess exactly what’s needed during the free site survey and recommend only the work that’s actually required.
Yes, we have experience working in older Cork properties including period houses and buildings with some conservation status. These jobs require extra care with cable routing and surface finishes, but they’re well within our capabilities. We’ll talk through any specific constraints during the site survey.
