What does an electrician do?

An electrician specializes in installing, maintaining and repairing electrical installations. This includes installing sockets, renewing the meter cupboard, installing cabling and installing lighting. A certified electrician in Amsterdam ensures that your electrical installation is safe and meets the applicable standards (NEN 1010).

When do you need an electrician?

You need an electrician in case of malfunctions, expanding the number of groups in your meter cupboard, installing new cabling or installing a charging station. It is also wise to hire an electrician when renovating. Common signs that you need an electrician are regular blowing fuses, flickering lights or outdated wiring in older homes in Amsterdam.

What do you pay attention to when choosing an electrician in Amsterdam?

Always choose a certified electrician who is registered with a recognized quality mark such as UNETO-VNI or Keurmerk Elektra. Request multiple quotes and compare not only on price, but also on experience and reviews. A good electrician provides a clear quotation in advance and works according to the NEN 1010 standard. Also check whether the company is insured.

How does an electrician work?

An electrician starts by mapping the current situation and your wishes. He then makes a plan and quotation. After approval, the work is carried out: pulling cables, making connection points, installing switches and sockets. Afterwards, the installation will be tested and you will receive an installation statement as proof that everything meets the standards.
