Electrical installations for old buildings

The Gründerzeit-era buildings between the town hall and Lerchengasse are beautiful, but often present an electrical challenge. Outdated wiring from the 1950s can be dangerous.

• Riser pipe renovation : Modern copper pipes instead of dangerous aluminum cables
• New distribution boxes : Increased safety through residual current circuit breakers (RCCBs) and miniature circuit breakers (MCBs).
• Additional electrical outlets : Modern households need more than 2 electrical outlets per room.
• LED lighting concepts : Energy-efficient and atmospheric

Important : Many insurance companies now require a current electrical safety assessment for older buildings. We prepare it quickly and in accordance with standards.
