Why certification matters

Portuguese law requires certified electricians

Residential electrical work in Portugal must be performed by a professional holding an EDP/ERSE-recognised certification. Work done by uncertified individuals is legally non-compliant and voids home insurance coverage in most policies.

EDP/ERSE certification

Verified against the registry

OSCAR confirms each electrician's certification status with the issuing body before activation. Expired certifications trigger automatic suspension.

Insurance compliance

Work is documentable

Every OSCAR electrical job generates a digital record. If your insurer requires proof of certified work, you have it. Self-employed electricians on informal bookings rarely provide this.

Safety standards

Portuguese NP standards applied

OSCAR electricians work to NP EN 60364 standards. Fuse box work is done with the supply isolated and double-checked before completion.

Electrical questions

Yes. Fuse box inspection, circuit breaker replacement, and residual current device (RCD) installation are all available at fixed price. Larger panel replacement projects are subject to a custom quote before booking.
Yes — new socket installation (branching from an existing circuit) is fixed price at €45 per socket. Running new circuits from the fuse box is a separate job with custom pricing based on your property layout.
Yes. Outdoor light installation starts at €85 and includes weatherproof fittings (standard IP44-rated). Specialist garden or feature lighting requiring trenching is quoted as a custom job.
The electrician will document all findings and present them to you clearly. Any recommended remedial work is presented as separate bookings with fixed prices — you are never pressured on-site to expand the scope beyond what you booked.
