When there are young children at home, every free moment is worth its weight in gold. That is why more and more parents use the Gov.pl portal, which gathers services for citizens in one place. You can handle official matters there without standing in queues, which saves real time.
However, it is worth remembering the distinction. Some household matters can be sorted out online today - applications, documents, booking appointments. But you cannot check the electrical safety of your home through a browser. This requires a physical inspection and measurements carried out by a qualified person.
What you can actually handle online, and what requires a professional
Through government portals, you can conveniently handle administrative matters. However, you cannot assess the condition of sockets, the quality of connections in the distribution board, or the operation of a residual current device (RCD - that device in the board with a TEST button that cuts off the power when leakage occurs, crucial for protection against electric shock) remotely. This always requires an on-site visit.
When a parent should think about an installation inspection
Good moments are:
- moving into a new flat,
- renovating a child's room,
- planning additional sockets,
- a situation where fuses "trip" without any clear reason or sockets get hot.
These are signals that should not be ignored.
What our inspection includes:
- visual inspection of the distribution board and protective devices,
- residual current device (RCD) test,
- electrical measurements and checking the condition of sockets,
- a report with a description and any recommendations.
What is important for a parent is that after the visit you receive a document - you know in black and white what is fine and what is worth improving. No scaremongering, no ripping you off.
Child safety on a daily basis
Simple things make a difference: socket covers within reach of a toddler, avoiding overloading extension leads, hiding extension cables. If, on the other hand, you smell burning, see sparking, or feel a "shock" when touching an appliance - do not try to fix it yourself. Cut off the power to the circuit in question if possible, and call a qualified electrician. In a situation of immediate danger, call 112, and report grid failures to the operator on 991.
Never open sealed devices or attempt to repair live installations. This is a job for a qualified professional.
How to combine this in practice
While sorting out your household paperwork online, add one offline item to your list: an installation inspection, if a long time has passed since the last one or if there has never been one. It is a single visit that gives peace of mind for longer. You can book the date with us online, and our technician will take care of the rest - from the first measurement to the report.
Do you want to be sure that the installation in your home is safe? You can choose a date in the online calendar, a technician will arrive on site, and after the visit you will receive a report with clear recommendations: book an installation inspection online or call +48 459 566 991.
FAQ: questions we hear from parents
Can an installation inspection be sorted out via the Internet?
You can handle the booking online: you choose a date and describe what is happening. The inspection itself always takes place on site - the technician must see the distribution board, check the sockets, and perform measurements with a meter.
How do I know it is worth ordering an inspection?
Typical signals are fuses "tripping" without any clear reason and sockets getting hot. A good moment is also moving in, renovating a child's room, or planning to add sockets.
What will I receive after the inspection?
A report describing the condition of the installation and any recommendations. You know in black and white what is fine and what is worth improving - and you can calmly plan your next steps.
What should I do if I smell burning or see sparking?
Do not repair it yourself. Cut off the power to the circuit in question if possible, and call a qualified electrician. In a situation of immediate danger, call 112, and report grid failures to the operator on 991.
