Apartment Electrical Wiring in Zalău

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 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
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

Frequently Asked Questions

What testing is done at the end?

The electrician measures insulation resistance on each circuit, verifies continuity of the protective conductor, tests RCD operation, and confirms correct polarity at the sockets. Results are recorded in a test certificate, which is worth keeping together with the installation schematic.

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 Zalău?

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.
