Electrical Panel Installation in Dej

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

Don't accept oversized breakers as a fix for repeated tripping — the cause must be identified
Ask for the electrician's licence number and verify it before work begins
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

Frequently Asked Questions

How should circuits be grouped in a properly designed board?

The basic rule is separation by function: distinct circuits for lighting, for room sockets, for the kitchen, for the bathroom, and a dedicated circuit for each major appliance — hob, oven, washing machine, air conditioning, boiler. That way a fault affects only one area rather than the whole home.

Do I receive documentation after installation?

You should. Ask for the board schematic with numbered circuits, the test certificate with measured values — insulation resistance and earth electrode resistance — and the labour warranty. These documents are useful for any future work and may be requested by your insurer.

Can a board be installed for an EV charging point?

Yes, but it requires a dedicated circuit with specially sized cable and protection, including a type B or A-EV RCD depending on the charger. The electrician first checks the available capacity in your supply contract; in many cases an application to increase the supply capacity is needed before installation.

How often should a consumer unit be inspected?

A visual inspection and retightening of connections is recommended every 2–3 years, and a full test with measurements every 5 years for homes. If you notice a smell of hot plastic, scorch marks, buzzing, or breakers that are warm to the touch, call an electrician immediately.

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 Dej?

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.
