Frequently asked questions about
electrical services in Groningen
Answers to common questions about electrical installation, our renovation services and working with an English-speaking electrician in Groningen.
If your home is older than 25 to 30 years and the electrics have not been updated since, renewal is strongly recommended. Warning signs include: frequently tripping fuses, discoloured sockets, a consumer unit with old screw-in fuses, or the absence of residual-current devices (RCDs). It is also advisable to have the electrics checked when renovating or extending your home. We are happy to visit for a free, no-obligation assessment and give you honest advice.
The cost of a new consumer unit depends on the number of circuits, the type of protection and whether new cabling is also required. A standard replacement differs in price from a full upgrade with additional circuits for, say, an EV charger or heat pump. As a reliable contractor in Groningen, VerbouwGroep Noord always provides a clear, detailed renovation quote upfront. in English. with fixed price agreements. No hidden costs. Any changes are always discussed and approved upfront. Our transparent pricing is especially important for internationals who want to avoid surprises.
NEN 1010 is the Dutch national safety standard for low-voltage electrical installations. It is comparable to standards like BS 7671 (UK) or the NEC (US). All our electrical work is carried out in full compliance with NEN 1010. Our electricians are trained and certified for this. After completion you always receive an official inspection report, so you can be sure everything meets the requirements. This report is also important for your home insurance in the Netherlands.
Absolutely. Adding extra circuits is one of our most common jobs. This is often needed when installing an EV charger, heat pump, induction hob, or when extending the property. We assess whether your current consumer unit is suitable for expansion or whether a full replacement makes more sense, and advise you on the right capacity.
Yes, we handle complete lighting installations. From adding new light points and fitting recessed spotlights to installing dimmable lighting and LED strips. We are happy to help you develop a lighting plan that suits your interior and preferences. Whether it is functional task lighting or atmospheric accent lighting, we advise and install.
For new builds and major modifications to the electrical installation, an inspection to NEN 1010 is mandatory. Many Dutch insurers also require a valid inspection report. Additionally, when selling a property it is increasingly common for buyers to request an inspection report. We provide an inspection report as standard with all our electrical projects, so you are always covered.
A single-phase connection is the standard in most Dutch homes and provides sufficient capacity for regular household use. A three-phase connection delivers more power and is necessary when you want to connect heavy equipment, such as a fast charger for your electric car, a heat pump or a professional kitchen. We advise you on which connection best suits your situation and can handle the application with the grid operator (netbeheerder) on your behalf.
Absolutely. This is exactly where VerbouwGroep Noord excels as a renovation contractor in Groningen. Because construction, electrical and plumbing all fall under one roof, we perfectly coordinate the electrics with the rest of the renovation. No waiting times between different contractors, no miscommunication.

If your consumer unit (groepenkast) still has old screw-in fuses instead of modern circuit breakers, or if it lacks residual-current devices (RCDs), it should be replaced. This is common in older homes in Groningen neighbourhoods like Oosterpoort, Helpman and Hortusbuurt. A modern panel improves safety, meets current NEN 1010 standards and provides enough capacity for today's electrical demands like EV chargers and induction hobs.
Yes, we install home EV charging stations (laadpalen) throughout Groningen. This includes mounting the charger, running the dedicated cable and circuit from your consumer unit, and ensuring the installation meets all safety standards. If your panel needs an upgrade to handle the extra load, we take care of that as well. We install chargers from all major brands.
A NEN 1010 inspection checks whether your electrical installation meets the Dutch safety standard. This includes testing the grounding, verifying the correct operation of circuit breakers and RCDs, inspecting cable routing and checking for potential hazards. After the inspection you receive an official report. This report is often required by insurers and can be important when selling your property.
