Electrical Testing & Verification

Powerwise Electrical Contractors carries out inspection, testing and verification of electrical installations in domestic and commercial properties throughout Kildare and surrounding areas — from periodic testing of existing installations to verification following new electrical work.

Existing installations

Periodic Inspection & Testing

Electrical installations change over time. Powerwise can inspect and test existing electrical installations to identify faults, deterioration, damage, unsafe conditions and other issues that may not be obvious day to day.

Periodic inspection and testing is carried out in both domestic and commercial properties, and the findings are explained clearly so you know what condition the installation is in and what work, if any, is recommended.

Dead Testing

Dead testing is carried out with the installation safely isolated, before it is energised. It checks that circuits have been wired and connected correctly.

  • Continuity testing
  • Insulation resistance testing
  • Polarity checks
  • Protective conductor checks
  • Circuit verification

Live Testing

Live testing is carried out on an energised installation where appropriate, and forms part of the proper testing and verification process. It confirms that protection and circuits operate as they should.

  • Earth fault loop impedance testing
  • RCD testing
  • Functional testing
  • Supply checks
  • Verification of protective devices
After electrical work

Verification Following Installation

Once electrical work has been completed, testing and verification helps confirm the installation is complete, connected correctly and functioning safely.

  • New electrical installations
  • Alterations
  • Extensions
  • Rewiring
  • Additional circuits
  • Electrical upgrades

Verification is carried out as the final stage of a project — whether that is a single additional circuit in a home or the electrical works of a larger commercial fit-out — so the installation is handed over in known, working condition.
