- 1
Fault or planned work. A tripping breaker or a dead circuit is diagnosed first; new sockets, lights or a fuse-board upgrade can be quoted from photos.

Age of the property. Older wiring may need more work than the original task.

Apartment or house. In apartment buildings, the meter and main switch may be in a shared area, so check access.

Ask your electrician for proof of their professional licence, and whether they can certify the work if your installation needs inspection by the EAC.

FAQ
My breaker keeps tripping. What should I tell the electrician?
Which breaker trips, when (all the time, when the AC or oven is on, when it rains) and what you have already tried. A photo of the fuse board helps.
Can I get a quote from photos?
For simple jobs like adding sockets or lights, often yes. Faults usually need a visit.
Do I need a licensed electrician?
Yes for anything beyond swapping a bulb. Ask your electrician for proof of their professional licence, and whether they can certify the work if your installation needs inspection by the EAC.
Does an electrician need a licence in Cyprus?
Yes. Electricians must hold a certificate of competence and a current annual registration certificate from the Department of Electrical and Mechanical Services (EMS). The registration expires on 31 December each year.
What should I tell the electrician about the fault?
What happens and when (for example, the breaker trips when two AC units run), the age of the property, and photos of the fuse board.
Why does my breaker keep tripping?
Often due to an overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance or moisture. An electrician can test circuits and find the cause safely.
Can I install an EV charger at home in Cyprus?
Usually yes, subject to your supply capacity. An electrician can assess your board and advise.
Do I need an electrician for a new light fitting?
For safety, any work on fixed wiring should be done by a qualified electrician.
