Apartment Electrical Wiring in Vitan, București

About this service

A properly rewired installation gives you peace of mind for the next 30–40 years. The electrician sizes each circuit to the load it feeds, uses copper conductors of 1.5 mm² for lighting, 2.5 mm² for sockets, and 4–6 mm² for heavy appliances, runs everything in conduit so a new cable can be pulled later, and separates circuits so a single fault doesn't leave the whole flat without power. Earthing is provided at every socket, and at completion the insulation resistance and the continuity of the protective conductor are measured, with the results recorded in writing.

What to check before hiring a apartment electrical wiring

Ask for the final test certificate and keep it together with the warranty
Ask for the electrician's licence number and verify it before signing the quote
Plan socket and switch positions before the chasing starts — moving them later is expensive
Add 20–30% more sockets than you think you need; the marginal cost now is small
Ask for conductors to be run in conduit so new cables can be pulled in future
Run network cables now, even if you use wireless — you won't get another chance without opening walls

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I rewire in phases, room by room?

It's possible, but not ideal. The board and main circuits have to be redone in full anyway, and phasing means repeated dust and disruption plus a higher total cost. If budget requires phasing, prioritise the kitchen, bathroom, and the heavy-appliance circuits.

How much does rewiring a flat cost in Vitan?

For a two-room flat, labour typically falls between 4,500 and 11,000 RON, depending on area, circuit count, and wall construction. Materials — conductors, conduit, boxes, accessories, and consumer unit components — usually add another 2,000–5,000 RON. A proper quote lists them separately.

How long does a rewire take?

A two-room flat is usually done in 5–8 working days, and a three- or four-room flat in 8–14 days. Chasing walls and pulling cables takes the longest; accessories are fitted at the end, after decorating, which needs another 1–2 days.

Do I need to move out during the work?

Generally yes, at least for the chasing stage, which creates a great deal of dust and noise and leaves parts of the flat without power. If the work is phased you can stay, but comfort is significantly reduced. Most people combine a rewire with a full renovation.

Why does aluminium wiring need replacing?

Aluminium conducts less well than copper, oxidises at connections over time, and becomes brittle, which leads to terminals that overheat. Many older installations are also undersized, with 1.5 mm² on socket circuits, and have no protective conductor. That combination is why a full rewire is the standard recommendation.

What does it mean that my flat has no earth in Vitan?

It means the sockets have only two conductors, live and neutral, without the third protective conductor. Without it, a fault can leave an appliance casing live, and the protective devices won't reliably trip. In Vitan blocks built before the 1990s this is common and can only be resolved by rewiring.
