Landlord Electrical Safety & RTB Compliance

STATUTORY LANDLORD COMPLIANCE

Protect Your Tenants & Satisfy Irish Tenancy Law

Under the Housing (Standards for Rented Houses) Regulations and Residential Tenancies Board (RTB) rules, landlords in Ireland have a strict statutory legal duty to ensure that electrical installations in rental properties are safe and properly maintained.

Elevate Electrical provides comprehensive, fast-turnaround electrical safety inspections for private landlords, estate agents, and property management companies throughout Dublin. Co-owner Jack Murphy coordinates smooth booking around tenant schedules, while Lead Certifier Dean Merrigan conducts thorough testing, provides clear remedial quotations, and issues official Safe Electric certification.

Statutory Requirements for Irish Rental Properties:

• Periodic Inspection Report (PIR): Thorough instrument testing of all circuits, categorising findings into Code C1 (Danger Present), Code C2 (Potentially Dangerous), and Code C3 (Improvement Recommended).
• Mains-Powered Interlinked Smoke & Heat Alarms: Statutory compliance with Building Regulations Part B and NSAI I.S. 3218 (LD2 standard) — smoke alarms in circulation spaces and living rooms, with a heat alarm in the kitchen.
• Carbon Monoxide (CO) Alarms: Mandatory in any room containing a fuel-burning appliance (gas boiler, fireplace, stove).
• Consumer Unit Safety: RCD/RCBO protection on all socket outlets to protect tenants against electrocution.
