Electrical Systems in Târgu Jiu

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 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.

What is an installation test certificate?

It is the document recording the measurements taken at handover: earth electrode resistance, insulation resistance, and continuity of the protective conductor. Ask for it on completion and keep it.

When should the distribution board be replaced?

When it still has rewirable fuses, when it has no residual current protection, when breakers trip frequently, or when you add large loads — a boiler, air conditioning, an electric hob, an EV charger.

Can a new circuit be run without cutting into the walls?

Sometimes, through skirting, surface trunking, or a suspended ceiling. The surface option is cheaper and quicker but less tidy. The electrician will tell you on site which approach is realistic.

How much does redoing the earthing cost?

Generally 700-2,000 RON, depending on soil type, the number of electrodes required, and site access. The price usually includes measuring the dispersion resistance and issuing the certificate.
