Yes. We visit without obligation, look at your installation or plans and then send you a quote. You are not committed to anything.
Among other things for a new installation or a significant extension, and when a home is sold. If the inspection report is negative after a sale, the buyer must have the installation brought up to standard within 18 months. The inspection itself is carried out by an accredited inspection body; we make sure your installation is in order.
The AREI is the Belgian General Regulation on Electrical Installations: the rules every electrical installation in Belgium must comply with. We always work according to these rules, so your installation is safe and passes inspection.
Certainly. Send us the report or show it to us during the site visit. We go through the remarks, give you a price and fix them professionally, so the re-inspection goes smoothly.
The complete kit contains enough sockets, light switches and a made-to-measure fuse box. You install your own electrical network, with guidance from a professional. Contact us to discuss the options for your situation.
Yes. We install charging points for homes and businesses as well as solar panels, and connect them safely to your existing installation. If necessary, we adapt your distribution board.
Certainly. A socket that no longer works, a residual current device that keeps tripping or an extra circuit: we also handle small jobs professionally.
No. Small or large projects, new build or renovation: we carry out the work with our own team.
For renovation work on a private home older than 10 years, the reduced VAT rate of 6% usually applies in Belgium. For new builds or younger homes the rate is 21%.
We are available Monday to Friday from 8 am to 5 pm, by phone on 0498 40 82 49 or via info@u-electro.be. You can send a request through the form on this website at any time.
For a domestic installation, a new inspection is generally due after 25 years, and when the home is sold. After significant changes or extensions, the modified part must be inspected. Your inspection report states when your next inspection is due.
Often, yes. A charging point gets its own circuit with the right protection. In older installations the distribution board sometimes needs to be adapted. We assess your situation on site and give you honest advice.
Yes. We work for homeowners and businesses, from houses and apartments to shops and restaurants, always with our own team.
We work with systems from Niko, Velbus and Loxone, among others. Which system suits you best depends on your wishes, your home and your budget; we are happy to advise you.
Yes, for homes and businesses, including cabling, power supply and remote viewing via an app. Keep the Belgian camera law in mind: in many cases you must declare a surveillance camera and display a pictogram.
We work from Maasmechelen throughout Limburg, including Lanaken, Dilsen-Stokkem, Genk, Zutendaal, Maaseik, Oudsbergen, Bilzen-Hoeselt and surrounding municipalities.
