Electrical Safety by Certified Experts

​

Electrical systems don't just provide comfort—they are vital to our daily safety. But only regular and professional inspections can ensure that these systems are truly secure. Elektro Vienna takes care of all safety inspections and protection measures for apartments, houses, and commercial properties—competently, thoroughly, and reliably.

​​

📌 Why Are Electrical Safety Inspections So Important?

Electrical systems age, wear out, and gradually lose their safety integrity. Faulty or outdated installations can lead to serious issues:

• Fire hazards due to short circuits and cable overheating

• Risk of electric shock

• Legal consequences (e.g. missing or expired electrical inspection certificates)

• Damage to appliances from overvoltage or lightning strikes

Regular inspections protect lives, property, and help reduce liability risks.

🛠️ Our Detailed Safety Services

✅ 1. RCD Protection (Residual Current Devices)

RCDs (FI-Schalter) are life-saving devices. They detect leakage currents and disconnect power within milliseconds to prevent serious accidents.

Our services include:

• Professional installation of RCDs

• Testing of existing RCDs for proper function

• Replacement or retrofitting of RCDs in older systems according to legal standards

• Documented measurement protocols for insurers and authorities

When are RCDs required?
According to Austrian standards (ÖVE/ÖNORM E 8001), RCDs are mandatory in virtually every electrical installation.

✅ 2. Smoke Detector Installation & Maintenance

Smoke detectors are legally required and can save lives—but only if they work properly.

Our services include:

• Professional installation and placement according to ÖNORM F 3001

• Regular function checks including battery replacement and documentation

• Expert advice on positioning, quantity, and model selection (wired or wireless)

Why is maintenance important?
Only regularly serviced smoke detectors guarantee protection and compliance with regulations.

✅ 3. Electrical Safety Certificate (E-Befund)

The E-Befund is the official inspection report confirming the safety of your electrical installation. In Austria, it's mandatory in many situations.

Our services include:

• Visual inspection and detailed measurements (insulation, grounding, RCD test, protective devices)

• Issuance of a legally valid written safety certificate

• Recommendations and cost estimates for any detected faults

• Digital documentation for authorities and insurance companies

When do you need an E-Befund?

• When selling or renting a property

• After modifications or renovations to the electrical system

• For reactivation of power supply by the grid operator

✅ 4. Lightning Protection Testing

Thunderstorms pose a significant risk to buildings and technical systems. Only a properly functioning lightning protection system can reliably prevent overvoltage and damage from lightning strikes.

Our services include:

• Professional inspection of existing lightning protection systems

• Grounding and equipotential bonding measurements

• Documentation according to ÖNORM EN 62305

• Consultation and proposals for new installations or upgrades

Why is lightning protection important?
It prevents major financial damage, protects sensitive systems, and ensures the safety of people inside the building.

👥 Who Should Use Our Safety Services?
