When there are small children at home, every free moment is worth its weight in gold. That is why more and more parents are using 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 handled online today - applications, documents, booking visits. But you cannot check the electrical safety of your flat 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, the condition of sockets, the quality of connections in the distribution board, or the operation of a residual current device (that is the device in the board with the TEST button that cuts off the power when leakage occurs - crucial for protection against electric shock) cannot be assessed 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 heat up.
These are signals that should not be ignored.
What our inspection includes:
- visual inspection of the distribution board and protective devices,
- residual current device test,
- installation measurements and checking the condition of sockets,
- a report with a description and any recommendations.
For a parent, what is important is that after the visit you get a document - you know in black and white what is fine and what is worth improving. No scaremongering, no rip-offs.
Child safety on a daily basis
Simple things make a difference: socket covers within reach of a toddler, avoiding overloading power strips, hiding extension leads. If, on the other hand, you smell burning, see sparking, or feel a "shock" when touching a device - 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 network faults to the operator on +48 459 566 991.
Never open sealed devices or try to repair live installations. This is a job for a qualified person.
How to combine this in practice
While sorting out your household formalities 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 one visit that gives peace of mind for longer. You can book a visit online with us, 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 arranged online?
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 heating up. A good moment is also moving in, renovating a child's room, or planning to add sockets.
What will I get after the inspection?
A report with a description of the installation's condition 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 network faults to the operator on +48 459 566 991.
