Electrical work.
In the details.

A failed light and a new lighting layout need different conversations. So do a kitchen renovation, a damaged socket and a plan for charging at home.

Start with the actual installation and the change you have in mind. These guides help you describe the property, prepare useful information and understand what a qualified electrician should assess.

Service availability and provider details remain unconfirmed.

About Porto Electric

Electrical work, from the everyday to the next project.

Explore the work and the questions to prepare before an assessment.

Service guides
01

Fault finding & repairs

Understand repeated tripping, partial power loss and unexplained faults.

A breaker that trips repeatedly, a room without power or a fault that comes and goes needs a diagnosis, not a guess. Useful fault finding starts with the pattern: what stopped working, what was in use and whether the problem affects one circuit or the whole property.

02

Rewiring & renovations

Plan electrical work around the way your property will be used.

A renovation is an opportunity to plan electrical capacity, socket positions and lighting before walls are finished. Rewiring should begin with an assessment of the existing installation and the intended use of every room, rather than an assumption that all older properties need the same work.

03

Electrical panels

A considered approach to the quadro elétrico and circuit protection.

The electrical panel, often called a consumer unit or quadro elétrico, brings the property's circuit protection together. Planning additional appliances, a renovation or EV charging is a good reason to discuss whether the existing arrangement is suitable for the proposed installation.

04

Lighting installation

Lighting that fits the room, the task and the existing installation.

Good lighting starts with how a space is used: clear task lighting for a kitchen, comfortable ambient light for a living room or a practical arrangement for an entrance. Position, glare, switching and the compatibility of fittings matter as much as appearance.

05

Sockets & switches

Make everyday connections work for your room layout.

A changed room layout can leave sockets in awkward positions or create a need for additional outlets. Planning permanent points around desks, furniture and kitchen equipment gives an electrician a clearer brief than simply asking for more sockets.

06

Electrical safety checks

Understand the condition of an installation before the next decision.

When buying a property, planning a refurbishment or taking responsibility for a rental, electrical records may be incomplete. A professional condition assessment can help establish what needs attention and what further investigation is appropriate.

07

EV charger installation

Start with the parking space and electrical supply, not just the charger.

A home EV charging proposal needs to connect the vehicle's requirements with the property's electrical installation and parking arrangement. The starting point is a site assessment: where the vehicle parks, how cabling could reach it and what supply is available.

Different properties call for different questions. Use a local guide to prepare the details of your building.

Actual service coverage is not yet confirmed.

All location guides

Start with what you have noticed.

You do not need to diagnose the fault. Describe the symptoms, then explore what to discuss.

Smoke, burning smells, shocks or visible damage? Stop using affected equipment and seek urgent professional help. For fire, injury or immediate danger, move away and contact emergency services. Do not use this website as an emergency contact.

A useful call starts with a useful brief.

No need to diagnose the cause. Start with the details you already know.

01

Tell the story.

Note what changed, where it happened and when you first noticed it. No need to diagnose the cause.

02

Know the property.

Gather existing records and explain access, shared areas and any essential power needs.

03

Agree the scope.

Before work starts, ask about the assessment, written estimate, disruption and documentation.
