A kitchen renovation can add an induction hob, a second oven and more countertop sockets in a single room. The finishes may already be picked, but someone still needs to check whether the existing circuits and distribution board can support the new layout. Bring the appliance list to the first site visit, including anything you plan to install later.
Check who will do the work and sign it off
If you’re looking for licensed electricians in Dubai, ask the contractor to show you the current credentials that cover your project. Find out who will supervise the work, what inspections apply to your property and who is responsible for arranging them. Moving a few light fittings and upgrading the electrical supply for a renovated villa are different jobs.
Compare the work behind the fitting count
“Install 20 lights” tells you how many fittings are going in. It leaves questions about new wiring, switch locations, dimmer compatibility and who makes good the walls or ceiling. Ask the electrical installation company to mark the proposed changes on a plan and state what’s included. Walk through that plan with the kitchen and joinery layouts so outlets stay accessible once the cabinets are fitted.
Leave yourself a record of what changed
Ask for clear circuit labels, relevant test records and an updated layout for any significant changes. When you need to add an appliance or trace a fault later, a labelled distribution board and a usable drawing will save time.
For rewiring, lighting or a distribution board upgrade, send your layout and appliance list to the QAS electrical and low-voltage team.
