Apartment Electrical Wiring in Telești

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

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
Request a plan of the cable routes so you know where it's safe to drill

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does rewiring a flat cost in Telești?

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 Telești?

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 Telești blocks built before the 1990s this is common and can only be resolved by rewiring.

What cable size is used for each circuit?

The usual standard is 1.5 mm² copper for lighting circuits, 2.5 mm² for general sockets, and 4 or 6 mm² for heavy appliances such as an electric hob, water heater, or air conditioning. The cross-section is always matched to the breaker rating in the board, never the other way round.
