Apartment Electrical Wiring in Baraolt

About this service

Rewiring a flat means completely replacing the circuits, from the consumer unit to the last socket, and it is one of the most important jobs in any renovation. A licensed electrician marks out the routes, chases the walls, fits conduit and junction boxes, pulls conductors of the correct cross-section, makes the connections in the boxes, fits the accessories — sockets, switches, light fittings — equips the consumer unit, and tests everything before energising. Dedicated circuits are added for heavy appliances, extra sockets go where you actually need them, and increasingly so do data cables, USB outlets, or provision for smart systems. Installations in blocks built decades ago use undersized aluminium conductors with no earth, and the risk grows as new appliances are added. On SmallJobs you'll find licensed electricians with real reviews and competitive rates.

What to check before hiring a apartment electrical wiring

Run network cables now, even if you use wireless — you won't get another chance without opening walls
Request a plan of the cable routes so you know where it's safe to drill
Check that every socket has the protective conductor properly connected, not just contact to the housing
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

Frequently Asked Questions

What warranty comes with a new installation?

Labour is typically warranted for 2–5 years, with components covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Request the warranty in writing and keep the quote, the schematic, and the test certificate — these are the documents that matter if a problem arises or when selling the flat.

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 Baraolt?

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.
