Who is listed here

Two businesses on TrustedTradesCyprus list electrical work, and both are general renovation firms rather than dedicated electricians. KS luxury renovation Ltd is based in Limassol and describes high end and full renovations, bathroom repairs and maintenance, with 25 years of experience. TTC Approved, insurance evidence reviewed. Mechatronics is based in Larnaca and lists home renovation covering electrical work, plumbing and tiling, with 15 years of experience. Verified, insurance evidence reviewed.

On a renovation, ask either firm who will carry out the electrical part of the job and for that person's EMS registration. No listed electrician is based in Paphos or Nicosia yet. If you are there, ask whether either business travels to you, or tell us what you need and we will look for a suitable listed business, though we cannot promise a match.

How do I check an electrician is registered in Cyprus?

Ask for the electrician's EMS registration number and the registration certificate for this year. Only people and companies registered with the EMS may carry out electrical work.

The EMS issues two documents under the Electricity Law (Cap. 170) and its regulations. The Certificate of Competency shows the category a person is qualified for, such as wireman (electrician) or electrical installations contractor, and it does not expire. The Registration Certificate is the annual licence to practise and runs only to 31 December of the year it was issued, so check the year on it. A business that carries out electrical work also needs its own EMS licence, renewed every year, with a registered person in charge of the electrical work. Sources: Business in Cyprus pages on electrical services professionals and electrical services businesses.

The EMS publishes lists of electricians and businesses that hold a current registration certificate (EMS lists, in Greek). Only those who agreed to be listed appear, and the latest revision shown when we checked in October 2026 was dated 6 October 2025, so a missing name does not prove that someone is unregistered. If in doubt, ask the EMS directly on +357 22 800555.

What paperwork comes with a new supply or a major change?

For a new supply or a major change, a licensed electrician sends the EAC's forms, the EAC inspects the installation, and a certificate of suitability follows.

The Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC) inspects new installations and existing installations after changes, and has separate inspections for smaller scale work, temporary supplies and solar panels on net metering or net billing. The forms include the electrician's declaration that the installation is ready for inspection and a sworn statement from the licensed designer and installer. A successful inspection leads to a certificate of suitability for the installation (Πιστοποιητικό Καταλληλότητας Ηλεκτρικής Εγκατάστασης). For a first connection you then sign the supply agreement with the EAC between one and five days before the inspection date. The forms are in Greek, so ask your electrician to explain what they are submitting and to give you copies. Keep them with your property papers, because a buyer, tenant or insurer may ask for them later.

What this type of work involves

Homeowners may need help with fault finding, rewiring, consumer unit work, lighting and new circuits. The right business depends on the size and condition of the property, the level of design already completed and whether other trades must be coordinated. A small repair and a full renovation require different experience, supervision and documentation.

Cyprus projects also need decisions that suit the building rather than a generic specification. Important considerations include heat, outdoor installations, older wiring and the electrical load created by modern appliances. A useful first conversation should establish the problem, desired outcome, access, timescale and budget range before anyone promises a final price.

Common electrical jobs in Cyprus homes

• Old wiring in village houses. Older village houses often have wiring added in stages over many years, so ask for it to be tested before you plan the finishes. Our guide to renovating a village house in Cyprus covers surveys and the order of work.
• The trip switch going after heavy rain. Water getting into outdoor sockets, garden lights, pool equipment or a leaking roof can make the earth leakage switch trip in the first winter storms. An electrician can test each circuit to find the one at fault rather than leaving it switched off.
• Solar water heater elements. Most homes back up their solar water heater with an electric immersion element. A failed element or thermostat is an electrical fault on a plumbing appliance, so ask whether one visit can cover both, or book a plumber for the cylinder.
• Air conditioning supplies. New split units often need their own circuit. Agree whether the air conditioning installer or your electrician provides it. For repairs to existing units, see AC servicing and repair.
• Solar panels and batteries. Panels connected to the grid are inspected by the EAC under its net metering or net billing rules, so ask your installer which scheme applies and who arranges the inspection.
• Heat pumps and EV chargers. Both add load to the supply. Ask whether your existing supply and consumer unit can take it before you order the equipment.

Did the 2026 home upgrade grant cover solar panels?

Only alongside insulation, new windows or a heat pump, up to 10 kW and not on net metering. Applications closed in October 2026.

The Save and Upgrade Homes 2026 grant, run by the Ministry of Energy, Commerce and Industry, was oversubscribed on its first day, 20 October 2026, and the Ministry announced the next day that submissions had ended. Batteries of up to 4 kWh could be added to the panels. If you were approved, you have 12 months from your approval letter to finish the work, and solar panel claims need the electricity supplier's confirmation of connection or the first bill afterwards, so share your approval letter with the electrician before you ask for a quote. Our guide to the 2026 grant explains what happens next.

Checking a business before you hire

Before paying a deposit, confirm who you are contracting with, whether a licence or permit applies, and what the written quotation includes. Our guide to checking a builder in Cyprus walks through each check, with links to the official registers.

Comparing quotations properly

The cheapest total is not automatically the best value. Ask each business to price the same written scope. For electricians, the quotation should make clear appropriate qualifications, test results and an itemised scope for each circuit. It should also state VAT treatment where applicable, start assumptions, estimated duration, payment stages, exclusions and how unexpected work will be authorised.

Allowances and provisional sums can make quotations look cheaper than the eventual cost. Identify them early and ask what evidence will support any adjustment. Keep changes in writing, including the price and effect on the programme, before changed work begins. Our quote comparison tool sets quotes side by side so the gaps stand out.

Questions to ask at the site visit

Ask the person visiting whether they will also supervise the work and who your day to day contact will be. Discuss how the proposed method deals with heat, outdoor installations, older wiring and the electrical load created by modern appliances. A capable provider should be willing to explain the sequence, identify information still needed and distinguish a firm price from an early estimate.

• Are you registered with the EMS, and can I see the registration certificate for this year?
• Will you complete and submit any forms the EAC needs, and give me copies?
• What investigation or preparation is needed before the main work?
• Which products or components are being proposed, and why are they suitable here?
• What could reasonably change the price once work begins?
• What will be tested, demonstrated or documented at completion?
• How will defects, delays and damage to adjacent finishes be handled?

Common questions about electricians in Cyprus

What qualifications should an electrician in Cyprus have?

An EMS Certificate of Competency in the right category, plus a registration certificate for the current year. Ask to see both before work starts.

Can I do my own electrical work in Cyprus?

Official guidance says no unregistered person or company may carry out electrical work. Use a registered electrician for anything beyond simple tasks such as changing a bulb.

Will I get a certificate when the work is finished?

For a new supply or a change the EAC inspects, yes: a certificate of suitability follows a successful inspection. For smaller jobs, ask for the test results in writing.

How much does an electrician cost in Cyprus?

Prices vary with urgency, diagnosis, access, materials, testing and scope. Ask about call out and testing charges first, and get an itemised quotation for anything substantial.

Planning a heat pump project?
