Electrical Panel Installation in Aiud

About this service

A properly installed consumer unit gives you real protection, not just the appearance of safety. The electrician separates circuits so that a fault at one socket doesn't leave the whole house without power, fits a 30 mA residual current device to protect people, selects breakers sized to the cable cross-section rather than to the desired load, and tightens every connection to the specified torque, because a loose terminal heats up and becomes dangerous over time. At handover, the board is labelled and accompanied by a schematic, so any future work can be done quickly and safely.

What to check before hiring a electrical panel installation

Request separate quotes for labour and components — the quality of the protective devices matters a great deal
Choose components from established manufacturers; the price difference is small relative to the risk
Insist on a 30 mA RCD being fitted, even if the old installation didn't have one
Ask for every circuit to be clearly labelled and for a board schematic at handover
Check that each major appliance — hob, oven, boiler, air conditioning — has its own dedicated circuit
Request the test certificate with insulation resistance and earth electrode measurements

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I be without power during the work?

Yes, but only temporarily. Replacing the board requires the supply to be off for a few hours, typically 3–6 hours in a flat. The electrician will tell you the window in advance so you can plan, and in some cases can keep a temporary circuit live.

How much does a consumer unit installation cost in Aiud?

For a flat with 8–12 circuits, labour typically falls between 500 and 1,800 RON, depending on area and complexity. For a house with 16–24 circuits, the cost rises to 900–3,500 RON. Components are added on top: enclosure, breakers, RCDs, and connection materials, which can mean another 400–1,500 RON.

How long does replacing a consumer unit take?

A flat board is usually replaced within a single working day, and a house board in 1–2 days. If circuits also need rewiring or a new supply cable pulling in, this can extend to 3–4 days. The supply is only interrupted for the duration of the actual work.

Do I need a licensed electrician?

Yes. Work on the consumer unit and the installation must be carried out by a licensed electrician. Licensing matters both for safety and for situations where documentation is needed for the energy supplier, for insurance, or when selling the property. Ask for the licence number and verify it.

What is an RCD and why do I need one?

A residual current device detects current leaking to earth — including through a person's body — and cuts the supply within milliseconds. A 30 mA RCD is the standard protection for homes and is mandatory in modern installations, particularly for bathroom and kitchen circuits.

Why do my breakers keep tripping in Aiud?

The most common causes are overload — too many appliances on one circuit — a short circuit in an appliance or socket, moisture in a junction box, and sometimes an undersized or worn breaker. An electrician in Aiud identifies the problem circuit through testing and determines whether a simple adjustment or a resized board is needed.
