What General Electrical Work Can We Help With?
Not every electrical job needs a specialist service page or a major electrical project.
General electrical work can include smaller installations, additions and alterations that improve how the electrical system works within your home.
Additional Electrical Points
As the way we use our homes changes, the original electrical layout may no longer be practical.
You may need additional electrical points for:
-
Home offices
-
TVs and entertainment equipment
-
Kitchen equipment
-
Bedrooms
-
Utility areas
-
Renovated rooms
-
New furniture layouts
-
Other electrical equipment
Before adding a new point, the existing electrical installation needs to be suitable for the proposed work.
We can assess the requirements and install additional electrical points where appropriate.
For jobs specifically involving sockets, see our Socket Installation & Repair service.
Cookers and ovens can have different electrical requirements depending on the appliance and the existing installation.
Before connecting a new appliance, it may be necessary to check the electrical supply, connection point and associated switching.
We can carry out suitable electrical connection work for cookers and ovens.
We do not repair the internal components of faulty appliances. Our work relates to the electrical supply, installation and connection.
Extractor fans in bathrooms, kitchens and other areas may require a suitable electrical connection or changes to the existing installation.
We can assess what is required and carry out the relevant electrical work for suitable extractor fan installations.
Indoor & Outdoor Electrical Work
We can also assist with suitable electrical installations and alterations in indoor and outdoor areas of a property.
Outdoor electrical work requires particular consideration because equipment and connections may be exposed to moisture and weather conditions.
The appropriate installation will depend on the location, equipment and existing electrical system.
Other Small Electrical Jobs
If your electrical requirement is not listed here, contact us and explain what you need.
Many smaller jobs do not fit neatly into a single category.
We can determine whether the work falls within our general electrical services or whether one of our dedicated services would be more appropriate.
Planning Electrical Work Before a Renovation
One of the best times to think about your electrical requirements is before renovation work is completed.
Once walls are finished, kitchens are installed and rooms are decorated, moving electrical points can become more disruptive.
Before starting a renovation, consider:
-
Where furniture will be positioned
-
Where TVs and entertainment equipment will go
-
Where additional sockets may be useful
-
Whether you are creating a home office
-
Kitchen appliance positions
-
Lighting locations
-
Switch positions
-
Extractor fans
-
Outdoor electrical requirements
-
Future electrical equipment you may want to install
Thinking about these requirements early can result in a much more practical finished room.
We can carry out electrical alterations as part of suitable renovation and home improvement projects.
If extensive replacement of the property's wiring is required, see our House Rewiring service.
Before Adding More Sockets or Electrical Equipment
Adding another socket may appear to be a simple job, but the existing electrical installation still needs to be considered.
Before carrying out the work, factors can include:
-
The existing circuit
-
The location of the new electrical point
-
The condition of the installation
-
The electrical load involved
-
The type of equipment that will be connected
-
Access for running cables
-
Whether additional electrical work is required
This is particularly important when adding higher-demand electrical equipment.
Rather than assuming every installation is the same, we assess what is appropriate for the property and the equipment being used.
Electrical Work in Older Dublin Homes
Older properties often have very different electrical installations from modern homes.
Over the years, sockets, switches and circuits may have been added or changed by different owners.
Common situations can include:
-
Too few sockets for modern requirements
-
Older switches and fittings
-
Previous electrical alterations
-
Electrical points in inconvenient locations
-
Extensions or converted rooms with different electrical requirements
-
Wiring that requires further investigation
Importantly, an older home does not automatically need to be completely rewired.
The correct solution depends on the condition of the existing installation and what you want to change.
A smaller electrical alteration may be sufficient in some properties, while others may require repairs, upgrades or more extensive rewiring.
Where a larger rewiring project is required, see our House Rewiring service.
When Does a General Electrical Job Become a Specialist Job?
Some electrical requirements are better dealt with through a dedicated service.
We have deliberately separated these services so customers can find more detailed information about the work they actually need.

Safe Electric Registered Electrical Contractor
Stillorgan Electrical Services is a Safe Electric Registered Electrical Contractor (REC).
When electrical work is being carried out in your property, using an appropriately registered electrical contractor is important.
Our electrical work is approached with safety, correct installation and the condition of the existing electrical system in mind.
Where completion certification is required for applicable electrical work, the appropriate certification will be provided.
What Information Should I Give You When Booking?
Providing a little information at the beginning can help us understand your job more quickly.
When contacting us, it is useful to tell us:
-
What electrical work you need
-
What type of property it is
-
Where the property is located
-
Whether the work is part of a renovation
-
Whether there is currently an electrical problem
-
What equipment you want installed, if applicable
-
Whether you have photographs of the existing installation
For some jobs, photographs can help us understand the requirement before attending the property.
Other jobs may require an on-site assessment.
You do not need to know the technical electrical terminology.
Simply explain what you want to change, install or investigate.
