Active Electrical — electricians in Dublin

Active Electrical covers Dublin and Wicklow, working from its base at Knockaire in Templeogue. Its domestic, commercial and industrial work reaches across both counties, so you can ask whether your property falls within its range. Before you book, confirm the exact location of the job so the team can tell you if it can attend.

The price of electrical work depends mainly on the type of job and how complicated it is, along with a call-out fee that is often charged for attending the property. Parts and materials are usually charged on top of the labour, so ask for them to be itemised separately. The Electrician price guide gives typical prices in Ireland, which is a useful starting point when you compare quotes.

Controlled electrical works can only be carried out by a contractor registered with Safe Electric, and the work has to be certified. Ask for the contractor's registration number and check it on the Safe Electric website before the job starts. You should also ask for the completion certificate, which you will need if you sell or let the property.

Ask the electrician to show you a current public liability insurance certificate before any work begins, as this is usual for a trade business in Ireland. It is also worth asking what guarantee covers the workmanship and for how long. Keep the quote, invoice and completion certificate together so you have a clear record of the work.

Active Electrical has a Google rating of 5 from 10+ reviews, which you can read on its Google Maps page at https://maps.google.com/?cid=15126405792339187736. When you read them, look for comments about punctuality, tidiness and whether the job was finished as agreed, and ask for references from recent customers if you want more detail.

Electrical work of this kind is not usually covered by a home grant in Ireland, so there is normally no scheme to apply for. Ask the electrician to tell you if any support applies to your particular job before you commit to the work. This keeps the decision clear from the start.

You can ask for a quote by phone, through the company's website, or through its Locufy page. When you get in touch, describe the job, the property and its location, and send photos if you have them. Say when the work would suit you, so the electrician can plan the visit.
