Circuit breaker and RCD installation in Tallinn

If the breakers are old, trip often or the apartment's protection needs to be put in order during renovation, circuit breakers and RCDs may need to be installed or replaced. Korteri Elektrik assesses this work together with the condition of the board, wiring and actual load.

This service covers a specific electrical job in the apartment, not a full rewiring or board replacement. If a larger scope is needed after the check, we plan it as a separate job.

Matching the load and wiring to the selected protection
If needed — recommending a larger board upgrade

How the work goes

  1. We clarify what needs doing, in which room the work is and the condition of the existing electrics.
  2. We check visible risks, access and how the task relates to the wiring or distribution board.
  3. We suggest a safe solution and explain whether a small job is enough or larger electrical work is needed.

Questions

Will replacing one breaker solve constant tripping?

Not always. The cause of the tripping must be understood first. A simple replacement without diagnosis may be the wrong solution.

Is this the same as replacing the distribution board?

No. This service is about individual protective devices. If the board as a whole is outdated or unsafe, board replacement is the right option.

Can you list the breaker types and ratings in advance?

No. The choice of protection depends on the apartment's wiring and load and is determined after a check.
