Electrician in Brussels
Send your request and a local electrician will contact you to discuss the job and give you a price before starting.
Many Brussels homes still have old wiring, porcelain fuses or partially renovated installations. In Belgium every electrical installation must be inspected by an approved body under the RGIE/AREI rules when a property is sold, and when significant changes are made, so non-compliant boards are a common issue for buyers. Electricians must be registered with the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises and have the relevant professional competence. For any new circuit, ask whether the work will be ready for inspection by an approved body.

What is the RGIE/AREI inspection?
