At King Electrical, we’ve seen firsthand what happens when unqualified work goes wrong—and we’ve spent years putting it right. But prevention is always better than a cure. That’s why we always recommend working with a RECI-certified electrician from the start. Here’s why it matters—and what to look out for.
Why Certification Matters
Hiring a RECI-certified electrician isn’t just a box-ticking exercise—it’s a decision that protects your property, your safety, and your wallet. Certified electricians are fully trained, up to date with the latest regulations, and legally authorised to carry out electrical installations and repairs. This means:
-
Your work is fully compliant with Irish safety standards and building regulations.
-
Insurance claims won’t be denied due to substandard or unapproved work.
-
Your wiring and systems are futureproofed against breakdowns and hazards.
Tip: Always ask to see a contractor’s RECI certification before agreeing to any work. If they can’t provide it, move on.
Residential Electrical Work: Don’t DIY Dangerously
DIY might work for painting a wall or putting up a shelf, but when it comes to electrics, it’s a whole different story. Attempting to rewire a room or install new lighting without the proper expertise could result in dangerous mistakes hidden behind your walls.
Common home electrical mistakes we fix:
-
Improperly installed sockets and switches
-
Outdated consumer units (fuse boxes)
-
Inadequate earthing or bonding
-
Faulty EV charger setups
Tip: If you’re planning home renovations, involve an electrician early in the process. This helps avoid last-minute surprises and ensures all wiring and installations are integrated safely and efficiently.
Commercial Projects: Powering Business the Right Way
Running a business means uptime, safety, and compliance are non-negotiable. From office fit-outs and shop upgrades to lighting systems and power supply optimisation, professional electrical work is the foundation of a smooth, uninterrupted operation.
The risks of unqualified work in commercial settings:
-
Staff or customer injury
-
Fire hazards that could shut down operations
-
Insurance and inspection failures
-
Lost revenue from outages or shutdowns
At King Electrical, we work hand-in-hand with business owners to deliver seamless, scalable solutions—with minimum disruption and maximum reliability.
Tip: Schedule routine inspections and maintenance of your electrical systems. This can catch issues before they become expensive problems.
Specialised Services: EV Chargers & Modern Tech
As more homes and businesses adopt EVs and energy-efficient technologies, the need for specialised electrical knowledge has grown. Installing an EV charger, for instance, involves assessing your current power load, ensuring compatibility, and protecting the system from overload.
Tip: Never use a general handyman for EV charger installations. It’s a specialist job, and doing it wrong can void your vehicle warranty or worse—pose a fire risk.
