It is highly recommended that you only contract a RECI registered electrician before conducting work on your home or property.

All REC's in Ireland are required to provide a completion certificate for completed electrical work, including minor repairs and fixes.
There are several types of certificates which can be issued:
| Name | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Certificate No. 1 | For connecting new electrical installations less than 50kVA to the distribution network (the grid). |
| Certificate No. 2 | For connecting new electrical installations greater than or equal to 50kVA to the grid. |
| Certificate No. 3 | Alterations to existing installations. |
| Agricultural Certificate | For all electrical works carried out in agricultural locations. |
| Interim Electrical Installations | For energising completed electrical systems that are less than 50kVA for testing (for example, a lift). |
Selectra's Electrician Tip
"Always ask for your certificate of completion immediately after your works are finished to avoid any problems that may arise in the future relating to the standard of work carried out"
A white copy of the certificate will be given to you the customer, but your REC is required to submit an additional copy to their named Qualified Certifier (QC) so that it can be verified by Safe Electric Ireland, ensuring that all rules and standards were adhered to.
