How electrical installation works proceed in Switzerland
The licensed electrician begins with an analysis of the existing installation: checking the distribution board, the condition of cables, earthing and compliance with current standards. The quote specifies the compliance works required before any new connection. Works in an occupied flat are planned to limit power outages, typically in half-day slots. On completion, the electrician issues the safety report (NIBT) and the certificate of conformity submitted to the local network operator (SIG, Romande Energie, etc.). This document is essential for commissioning the installation.
Regulations and standards in Switzerland
In Switzerland, all electrical installations are subject to the Low Voltage Installations Ordinance (NIBT/OIBT) and must be carried out by an electrician holding an authorisation from the Federal Inspectorate for Heavy Current Installations (ESTI). Mandatory periodic inspection is required every 20 years for residential properties (10 years for commercial premises, 5 years for construction sites). On sale of a property, an up-to-date inspection report is generally required by notaries and lenders. Photovoltaic installations connected to the grid require prior notification to the cantonal network operator.
Budget and tax deductions
Electrical compliance works are considered deductible maintenance expenses, provided they restore the installation to its original condition without upgrading it. Expansion or modernisation works (home automation, EV charging points, solar panels) constitute value-adding investments and are not deductible. Cantonal subsidies exist for the installation of EV charging points in residential buildings (SweEV, cantonal programmes). Consult your fiduciary to distinguish the deductible proportion of restoration works from the non-deductible proportion of improvements.
