FROM THE ELECTRICAL PLAN TO THE FINISHED ROOM
Lighting, sockets and appliance supplies working together.
Clean at the finish.
Considered behind it.
The fittings are the visible part. Positions, switching, appliance supplies and cable routes are planned earlier, so the finished room works naturally when you move through it.
02 / ELECTRICAL WORK, CONSIDERED
Enquiry. Assessment. An agreed scope.The work behind
a better home.
One room or a whole property. Start with what you need and we will explain what the existing installation means for the next step.
Lighting & controls
Everyday light, worktop light and softer evening settings. We discuss positions, switching and suitable controls alongside the room layout and finishes.
Sockets & appliance supplies
Useful power points and assessed supplies for planned appliances. Share your appliance list and furniture layout before the positions are agreed.
Consumer units & existing wiring
Assessment of an existing board and installation where changes, concerns or additional loads are involved. Any recommended work follows the findings.
Extensions & new spaces
Electrical planning for new builds, extensions, kitchens, bathrooms and attic projects, coordinated with the wider build and the relevant specialist input.
Outdoor & future energy
External lighting, garden-building supplies and preparation for EV charging, solar or heating changes. Suitability and supply requirements are assessed for your property.
PART OF THE BIGGER PICTURE
Changing the room?
Bring the electrical plan with it.
A kitchen, extension or energy upgrade changes what your home asks of its electrical installation. Fennor brings these decisions together so the proposed work and the interfaces between trades are clear.
SUPPORT FOR THE WORK YOU HAVE IN MIND
A clearer budget.
The support to explore.
These are the relevant funding options to discuss with Fennor alongside your project. We explain the full price, the support that may apply and the steps before you commit.
Reviewed · Guidance, not an eligibility decision.
Grant support
Home EV charger
Up to €300
Separate support towards an eligible smart home charger and its installation—not towards the car or the solar panels.
Conditions & official guidance+
- Apply and receive the grant offer before purchasing or starting installation. The charger must be on SEAI’s eligible list and installed by a Registered Electrical Contractor. Complete the installation and submit the claim within six months of the offer.
- Property, parking/planning, MPRN and previous-funding conditions apply; approved charger-arm arrangements have specific requirements. You do not need to own an EV when applying.
Grant support
Shared apartment EV charging
60%–90% of eligible infrastructure
Support for a qualifying shared-development charging network, plus €600 per charge point under SEAI’s infrastructure route. It is not an automatic top-up to every home-charger grant.
Conditions & official guidance+
- Owners’ management companies
- 80%
- Local authorities / approved housing bodies
- 90%
- Build-to-rent management companies
- 60%
- Charge point under infrastructure route
- €600 each
- Applicant type, shared-development eligibility, equipment and the registered charge-point operator determine the route. Charging-network support requires a qualifying multi-unit development with shared or private parking.
- The management company partners with an SEAI-registered charge-point operator, who coordinates the network and required works. Agree the application before procurement and do not assume the same equipment can receive duplicate support.
Grant support
Heating controls
€700
Support to improve control of an existing heating system. A separate €50 contribution towards the required post-works BER may also apply.
Conditions & official guidance+
- Home built and occupied before 2011, with a valid MPRN. Approval must precede work and the eligible controls upgrade must be completed by a contractor registered with SEAI for this measure.
- Not available if you are applying for, or have already received, a heat-pump-system grant. Fennor confirms the registered delivery role before presenting this support as part of your proposal.
Funding explained
Routine electrical work
No general grant
There is no general SEAI grant for ordinary rewiring, sockets, testing, fault repair or maintenance. Support applies only when the work forms part of a specific eligible measure and meets that scheme’s rules.
What this means for your project+
- We price routine electrical work separately and do not reduce a quotation by a grant that has not been approved.
- Where an energy, controls, charging or equipment-upgrade scheme could fit, Fennor explains the supported measure, the ordinary work and the required registered delivery roles before you commit.
04 / A CLEAR WAY FORWARD
From a first question.
To an agreed plan.
You do not need every technical answer before you get in touch. The next step is to understand the work and what it involves for your property.
- 01
Tell us about the place.
Tell us what you want to change, where the property is and whether the electrical work is part of a wider project. We explain the assessment needed.
- 02
Understand the proposal.
Review the scope, price, exclusions and any decisions still needed. We confirm the appropriate contractor, testing and certification responsibilities before work starts.
- 03
Agree how the work happens.
Agree access, furniture and finish protection, planned power interruptions and making good. You know the sequence and the arrangements needed for your household.
- 04
Finish with the information.
The agreed handover brings together relevant test and completion records, equipment guidance and follow-up contacts, with outstanding items explained.
05 / USEFUL ANSWERS
A little clarity.
Before you begin.
Practical questions about the work, the people and the process.
01Does my home need a full rewire?
+
That cannot be established from the age or appearance of the house alone. An appropriate assessment of the existing installation informs the recommendation. We explain the findings, the work proposed and whether the scope is local or more extensive.
02Can I stay at home while work happens?
+
It depends on the work, access and interruptions involved. We discuss occupied rooms, household needs, dust, furniture and planned loss of power before agreeing how the work will be phased. A full rewire needs a different plan from a small addition.
03When should electrical planning happen in a renovation?
+
Bring it into the early layout conversation. Kitchen appliances, lighting, heating, furniture and future energy plans affect positions and routes. Agreeing these before plastering and decorating helps avoid late changes.
04Can you help plan an EV charger or heat pump supply?
+
Yes. Tell us about the equipment you are considering. The proposed load, existing installation and available supply need assessment; any required network work or specialist installation is identified separately. A spare space in the board alone does not establish suitability.
05Are there grants for domestic electrical work?
+
There is no general SEAI grant for rewiring, sockets, testing or routine repairs. An eligible smart home charger can receive up to €300, and a qualifying heating-controls upgrade has separate support. Approval, property and registered-contractor conditions apply; we explain the grant-supported measure and ordinary electrical work separately.
06What about testing and certification?
+
Before you agree the work, we explain who will carry it out, the testing and certification needed, and the records you will receive. Restricted electrical works in the home must be carried out and certified by a Registered Electrical Contractor. Safe Electric explains the requirements.
Safe Electric guidance07Is decorating included after a rewire?
+
We explain the access needed and what making good includes in your proposal. Chasing, lifting floors, plaster repairs and final decorating can involve different trades. We work through those boundaries before the scope is agreed.
A CONVERSATION IS A GOOD START
What would make
home work better?
Tell us the rooms involved, what you would like to change and whether the work is part of a renovation. You do not need an electrical specification to start.
