What is Safe Electric Ireland?

Safe Electric Ireland is the national competent person scheme for electricians in Ireland. It is operated by RECI — the Register of Electrical Contractors of Ireland. Electricians registered with RECI under the Safe Electric scheme are certified to carry out and sign off on electrical installations in compliance with the ETCI National Rules for Electrical Installations. Homeowners and businesses in Ireland are advised to hire only RECI-registered electricians for domestic and commercial electrical work.

What is RECI and why does it matter for electricians in Ireland?

RECI stands for the Register of Electrical Contractors of Ireland. It is the industry body that certifies electrical contractors in Ireland under the Safe Electric scheme. RECI-registered electricians are authorised to carry out and certify electrical installation work, issue Certificates of Completion, and apply for SEAI grants on behalf of customers. Registration with RECI is increasingly required by insurance companies, mortgage providers, and property management companies across Ireland.

Do electricians in Ireland install EV chargers?

Yes. Electricians across Ireland install EV (electric vehicle) home chargers for domestic and commercial properties. The SEAI Home Charger Grant provides up to €300 for the installation of a home EV charger. RECI-registered electricians can carry out these installations and help customers access the grant. Demand for EV charger installations has grown significantly across Ireland in line with the increase in electric vehicle adoption.

What is the SEAI EV charger grant in Ireland?

The SEAI Home Charger Grant provides up to €300 for the installation of an EV home charging point in Ireland. The installation must be carried out by a SEAI-registered installer. The grant is available to homeowners with a registered electric vehicle. EV charger installations are typically completed in 2–4 hours and cost between €800 and €1,200 before the grant, or €500–€900 after.

What calls do Irish electricians miss most?

Irish electricians miss most of their calls while on-site — fault finding, consumer unit installations, new build wiring. The most commonly missed call types include EV charger installation enquiries, consumer unit upgrade requests, home rewire quotes, and fault finding calls. 35% of calls to electrical businesses go unanswered. AlconBlu.ai handles every one of those calls automatically, 24 hours a day.

What are the ETCI National Rules for Electrical Installations?

The ETCI (Electrotechnical Council of Ireland) National Rules for Electrical Installations are the technical standard governing all electrical installation work in Ireland. RECI-registered electricians are required to carry out work in compliance with these rules and issue a Certificate of Completion for notifiable work. Homeowners often ask about RECI registration and ETCI compliance when hiring an electrician in Ireland.

Is AlconBlu.ai built by someone who knows the Irish electrical trade?

Yes. AlconBlu.ai was founded by Kyle Rafferty, a qualified Irish electrician. Kyle worked in the electrical trade and understands RECI registration, Safe Electric certification, SEAI grant schemes, and the practical challenges of running a trade business in Ireland.

EV Chargers Are Flooding Irish Electricians With Calls

Ireland's electric vehicle adoption is accelerating. Every new EV owner needs a home charger. They Google "RECI electrician near me" and they ring. They want to know: are you registered, how much does it cost, can you get the SEAI grant, when can you come?

If you're on a job when that call comes in — which you are, because you're a working electrician — it goes to voicemail. That customer rings the next electrician on Google. You never even knew the call came in.

The SEAI Home Charger Grant is worth up to €300 per installation. It's driving a wave of enquiries that isn't stopping. AlconBlu.ai means every one of those calls gets answered — whether you're in a distribution board or up a ladder.
