It is also important to consider your safety. You could be put at risk because of outdated installations. Without updating your system, electrocution or fire could quickly occur. In addition, if your electrical system isn’t properly installed, many insurance companies will not cover you. So, in your home, think of yourself and your family. Have your electrical installations checked as soon as you think it is necessary.

If you own your own home, whether house or flat, you must comply with safety regulations regarding general electricity. But what is the compliance of the electrical installation of a flat? To better understand what it is all about, compliance is the verification of your electrical network to ensure that it complies with the standards. This check must be carried out for all housing built before 1 October 1981 and at least every 25 years. If the system doesn’t comply, you are obliged to carry out work to bring it up to standard. Bringing the system up to standard allows you to protect your property and yourself. Indeed, the risks of fire or other accidents are much greater in a non-compliant location. CD Engineering explains in a few points the important things you need to know on the subject.
If you are a tenant with a commercial lease, you do not have to pay for electrical safety. In fact, unless otherwise stipulated, it is the lessor’s responsibility to ensure that the occupants are housed in the best possible conditions.
It is difficult to put an exact figure on the cost of bringing a flat into compliance. It usually varies depending on the electrical company you hire. The price also varies according to the current state of your electrical installation. The older it is, the more you will have to pay, and vice versa. You should therefore call on a professional electrician you can trust.
At CD Engineering, we have been working with qualified electricians for 27 years. That’s why it’s a common procedure to have a flat retrofit. In addition, we have all the necessary equipment to carry out an electrical renovation safely. Contact us now by phone or on our website. The estimate is free and without obligation!

The cost of an electrical upgrade varies and depends on the extent of the work that needs to be done. The price may also vary according to the size of the house, as the work isn’t the same for a duplex flat, a small building, a studio or social housing.

Have you just bought a building plot? Your house building project has started and your architect has talked to you about electrical compliance? Do you live in a family home and are you considering extensions to your electrical system? Electrical upgrading is a very important element in a modern house, regardless of the style of construction. An outdated electrical system can lead to short circuits and even fires, making your home uninhabitable. Among the first signs of a faulty installation are the absence of a one-line diagram, a lack of insulation or a lack of continuity with the earthing system. In the case of house construction, compliance is also necessary before connecting the installation to the network.

It is difficult to calculate precisely the total price of an electrical upgrade. In the case of a purchase, electrical upgrading represents an additional budget to be included in the price of a house and the house building estimate. Also, the price will vary if it is a house with an existing but defective electrical network. Thus, the price of an electrical upgrade of a house is very variable, as it depends on many factors:
The best way to estimate the budget for a house upgrade in Brussels is to ask for a clear and detailed estimate. At CD Engineering, we provide free, tailor-made estimates. This way, you can be sure that there will be no unpleasant surprises.
We have put together a list of your most frequently asked questions about our electrical compliance work in Brussels.
The verification of the electrical conformity is carried out in particular by checking the electrical network, the sockets, the electrical panel, the circuit breaker, etc. A professional electrician will come to your home with his electrical equipment and carry out a check-up of your home. He will then provide you with a list of the items to be updated. If, for example, your grounding plug is faulty, it must be replaced. You could also have problems with electrical connections, or an electrical panel that does not meet standards. There are a lot of things to check when it comes to the electrical sector. Always entrust this work to an experienced electrician!
Have you requested the intervention of an electrician for compliance work? Then you must receive a certificate of compliance from your electrician as soon as the work is completed. This certificate is proof that your home now meets the electrical standards. But of course, your peace of mind is the most important thing. That’s why you should choose a trusted professional for this type of work. CD Engineering has been carrying out electrical compliance interventions in Brussels for private individuals and professionals for 26 years now. Ask for our references if you want to know more about our expertise. You can also ask for a free and obligation-free quote via our form!
It should be noted that many of the electrical installations in houses sold in Brussels no longer meet the current RGIE standards. So what are the most important risks and negative consequences of electrical installations that do not meet the electrical standards set by the regulations? The greatest risk you could face is an electrical fire. It is important to note that a third of all fires are caused by electrical equipment that has suffered short circuits or problems with the electrical network and its connection. Whether the house is old or new, whether it is a house or a flat, electrical compliance is important, so think about it when you move in.
The certificate of conformity can only be issued by an approved inspection body for a period of 25 years. In order to avoid unpleasant surprises, it is important to be aware of the different rules for electrical compliance beforehand. In fact, you must provide the inspection body with the single-line diagram of your installation, a diagram of the various elements of your installation (electrical sockets, differential switches, circuit breakers, etc.) and the EAN code that identifies the connection of the electrical installation.
There are subsidies for electrical renovation work. However, electrical upgrading in Brussels doesn’t entitle you to a specific premium. To find out more, we advise you to contact the responsible authorities to find out about the rules for electrical upgrading and the possible premiums available.
Among the most common violations are the absence of a one-line diagram or position diagram, the lack of insulation of conductors with sheaths, the lack of differentials or the discontinuity with the earthing system. In this case, you must bring your electrical installation into conformity as soon as possible.
The retrofitting of electrical installations in a flat is similar to that carried out in a house or other building. As a tenant, you do not have to pay for the upgrading of your electrical installation. Unless otherwise stated, it is the responsibility of your landlord to bring the property up to standard in order to maintain the safety of the occupants. A non-compliant electrical installation can lead to electrocution and damage to your household appliances.
The earthing point is connected directly to the earth from the electrical panel and is the end of the earthing circuit in a house.
To finalise the electrical compliance process, you must ask the inspection body to come and check the installation. This will certify the new installation. The inspection and the certificate of conformity that is then issued cost around 150 euros.
