Electrician in Chiado, Lisbon
Need a electrician in Chiado? Describe the job and mention your street: your request is forwarded to a professional covering this part of Lisbon.
Many older Lisbon flats still run on original wiring with too few circuits, no earth on some sockets and old fuse boards. Adding an air conditioner, an induction hob or an electric heater often trips the main breaker, and the contracted power with the supplier (potência contratada) may also need to be raised. Winter humidity can cause tripping on circuits in bathrooms and outdoor areas. Larger rewiring jobs should be done by a registered technician who can issue the relevant paperwork.

Frequently asked questions
My sockets have no earth, is that a problem?
It is common in old buildings but not safe for appliances like washing machines. Ask for a quote to add an earth and a residual current device.
Why does my power keep tripping when I use the oven and heater together?
Either the contracted power with your supplier is too low or the circuit is overloaded. An electrician can check both and tell you if you need to increase the potência contratada.
How much does an electrician cost in Lisbon?
A call out typically ranges from about 30 to 50 euros, then hourly work. Bigger jobs such as rewiring are quoted after a visit.
