Apartment Electrical Wiring in Prundeni

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 does it mean that my flat has no earth in Prundeni?

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 Prundeni 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.

How many sockets should each room have?

A practical rule is a minimum of 4–6 sockets in a living room, 4 in a bedroom, and 6–10 in a kitchen, where the appliance load is highest. It's worth adding extras from the start: one more socket during the work costs very little compared to opening walls again a few years later.

Can cables be installed without chasing the walls?

There are alternatives: surface-mounted PVC trunking, running above a plasterboard ceiling, or pulling through existing conduit if it's clear and sound. Each has aesthetic or practical limitations. Chasing into the wall remains the standard approach in a full renovation.

Should we run network or TV cables now?

This is the ideal moment. Even if you mostly use wireless, a network cable to the TV, desk, or the spot where the router will sit costs very little now and is impossible to add neatly later. The same logic applies to spare empty conduits left in place.

What should an electrician's quote contain?

A proper quote lists the number of circuits, route lengths, conductor type and cross-section, the number of junction boxes and accessory points, consumer unit components, and labour separately from materials. Also ask for a route plan, so you know in future where not to drill.
