Electrical Systems in Cluj-Napoca

About this service

Electrical systems cover everything to do with a building's power infrastructure, beyond the one-off call-out of an electrician: designing and executing the installation, mounting distribution boards, running circuits by zone, residual current and overcurrent protection, the earthing electrode, extra-low-voltage systems, technical lighting, and backup supplies. The work is carried out by ANRE-certified electricians, and on completion the installation is verified by measurement — earth electrode resistance, insulation resistance, continuity of the protective conductor — recorded in a test certificate. In existing buildings, the most common job is modernisation: replacing an old fuse board, adding residual current protection, and resizing circuits for today's loads.

Frequently Asked Questions

What warranty applies to electrical work?

The usual workmanship warranty is 12-24 months. The equipment — breakers, RCDs, boards — carries the manufacturer's warranty, typically 2-5 years.

Can the electrical installation be done in stages in Cluj-Napoca?

Yes, especially in houses, where the main supply and board can be done first and the zone circuits later. What matters is that the overall scheme is planned from the start, so routes don't have to be redone.

How much does a new electrical installation cost in Cluj-Napoca?

For a two-room apartment, a full installation generally costs 3,500-7,500 RON in Cluj-Napoca, labour and materials, depending on the number of circuits and the type of board. The quote is drawn up from the circuit schedule, not from floor area.

Does the electrician need an ANRE certificate?

For work on utilisation installations connected to the grid, yes. The ANRE certificate is what allows the work to be carried out legally and the verification documents to be issued. Ask for it before starting.

What is residual current protection and why do I need it?

An RCD disconnects the circuit when it detects current leaking to earth — precisely the situation where someone touches a live conductor. It is mandatory on circuits in wet areas, with 30 mA sensitivity.

How long does rewiring an apartment take?

Generally 5-10 working days for a 2-3 room apartment, including chasing and making good. The work is usually done as part of a renovation, before plastering and painting.
