Whether you are buying a home, renting out a property, or managing an office, our registered Safe Electric contractors provide clear, reliable electrical inspection reports across all Dublin postcodes.
Over time, electrical wiring wears out. You cannot see hidden cables inside walls or behind fuse boards, but aging wires can cause severe hazards like short circuits or fires.
A Periodic Inspection Report (PIR)—sometimes called an Electrical Installation Condition Report (EICR)—is a thorough health check for your building’s electrical setup.
Our qualified electricians test your wiring, fuse box, sockets, and switches to ensure everything works safely and meets Irish National Rules for Electrical Installations (I.S. 10101).
Did you know? Faulty electrical wiring is one of the leading causes of domestic house fires in Ireland. Regular testing catches hidden dangers before they turn into expensive emergencies.
For Homeowners: Get total peace of mind knowing your family is safe from shock hazards and fire risks.
For Home Buyers & Sellers: Insurance companies and mortgage lenders often ask for a valid electrical safety certificate before approving a purchase or policy.
For Landlords: Minimum standards for Irish rental properties require safe electrical systems. A Periodic Inspection Report keeps you compliant with local regulations and protects your tenants.
For Business Owners: Irish health and safety laws require commercial premises to maintain safe working conditions for employees and visitors.

A Safe Electric registered electrician carries out a visual check and uses specialist testing meters to inspect your wiring, earthing, circuits, and trip switches.
We issue your official Periodic Inspection Report. If any issues exist, we explain them clearly in plain language—without overly complex jargon.
If safety fixes are needed, we provide a clear, upfront quote. Once resolved, your property receives full certification.
During an inspection, our team checks key components throughout your property:
| Component Inspected | What We Check |
| Fuse Board / Consumer Unit | Checks for proper trip switches (RCDs/MCBs), correct labeling, and safe enclosures. |
| Wiring Condition | Tests insulation around cables to prevent short circuits and electrical leaks. |
| Earthing & Bonding | Ensures pipework and main earth wiring can safely direct fault currents into the ground. |
| Sockets & Switches | Checks for damage, wear-and-tear, or overheating marks on outlets. |
| Light Fittings | Verifies correct wiring connections and safe operation. |
Rental Properties: Recommended every 5 years or at the start of a new tenancy.
Domestic Homes: Recommended every 10 years (or when buying an older home).
Commercial Buildings: Typically required every 5 years (or sooner depending on the industry).
For a standard 3-bedroom house in Dublin, an inspection usually takes between 1.5 and 3 hours. Larger commercial buildings or complex setups may take longer.
Your report will highlight any defects using standard action codes (e.g., Code C1 for immediate danger, Code C2 for potential hazard). We will explain the issue clearly and provide an itemized quote to fix it so your property passes safely.
