Your fuse board is old or trips often
Older boards with fuses rather than RCD switches can be replaced with a modern consumer unit.
You're buying, selling or renting out
A periodic inspection report shows the wiring is safe and is often asked for by buyers, lenders and tenants.
You're getting an EV charger or solar panels
Both need a dedicated circuit and a registered installer to qualify for SEAI grants.
Lights flicker, sockets are warm, or you smell burning
Switch off at the board and get an electrician out. These can be signs of a dangerous fault.
You're extending or renovating
New rooms, kitchens and bathrooms usually need new circuits, so book the electrician early.

- The age and condition of the existing wiring
- Whether the fuse board needs to be upgraded first
- Access: floors up, ceilings opened, or surface trunking
- The size of the home and the number of circuits
- Testing and the Completion Certificate

Are the electricians on Toolo checked?
Yes. Every business that quotes has a checked VAT, CRO or Revenue tax registration and in-date public liability insurance. Electrical work in Ireland should be carried out by a Safe Electric registered contractor, who can certify the work when it's done. Ask to see their registration before work starts.
Do I need a registered electrician in Ballybofey?
In Ireland, most electrical work in a home, such as a new circuit, a fuse board change or a rewire, is classed as controlled work. By law it must be done by a Registered Electrical Contractor with Safe Electric, who gives you a Completion Certificate when the job is finished. Keep it safe: your insurer, the ESB and a future buyer can all ask for it.
Is Toolo free for homeowners?
Yes. Posting a job, getting quotes and messaging trades is free for homeowners. You pay the invoice through Toolo when the work is done (or a deposit up front, if the trade's quote asks for one), and if something's not right you can flag it within 14 days of paying.
