Your project in the canton of Geneva
For a project in Geneva, give the municipality and postcode, the rooms or building elements involved and the outcome you want. Describe the actual access: floor, lift, vehicle approach, parking and space for deliveries. Say whether the home or business premises will remain in use during the work. In a rented property or condominium, identify which areas are private and which are shared, and who coordinates decisions about them. If the project changes the exterior or concerns a protected building, check the applicable requirements with the competent authority before starting. Photos, existing plans and any approval documents already available help define the work without assumptions about a neighbourhood’s buildings.
- In a rental building or condominium, say whether the property management company or the co-owners have already given their agreement.
- For a flat in town, give the floor, whether there is a lift and what parking is available.
- For a villa in the Geneva countryside, describe access to the garden if machinery needs to get in.
Electrical work in the canton of Geneva
In Geneva, where renting is by far the norm, electrical work often goes through the property management company or the condominium administrator: renewing flat distribution boards, stairwell lighting, and equipping car parks for vehicle charging. In the old town and Carouge, older buildings sometimes hold surprises, such as cables in metal conduit or circuits without earthing. Villas in the Geneva countryside are increasingly fitted with heat pumps and photovoltaic modules. In Vernier, large housing estates require coordinated work across several entrances. Installations in Geneva, as elsewhere in Switzerland, must be inspected periodically, and the sale of a flat may require a safety report. Call on an authorised professional for every job.
- In a rented flat, obtain the written consent of the property management company before having a socket moved or a circuit added.
- For a charging station in a building's car park, the co-owners usually need to decide: present the project ahead of the owners' meeting.

Frequently asked questions
What should I prepare for an electrical upgrade in Geneva?
List the rooms concerned, the new sockets, lighting points and appliances you plan to connect. Mention the age of the installation and any problems you have noticed. The electrician will inspect the distribution board and suggest the necessary work.
How should new sockets or appliances be included in an electrical request?
List the equipment and its intended location, including larger appliances and any dedicated needs. Available installation documents help the electrician assess the existing circuits. Ask which checks and alterations are necessary; the number of new sockets alone does not define the complete work.
What should I compare in electrician quotes?
Compare circuits, distribution work, sockets, lighting and final checks against the same plan. Clarify making good walls and any coordination with other trades. Ask what installation documentation and testing are included and who will explain new controls at handover.
How should I prepare for the electrician visit or work?
Prepare a room-by-room list and plans or photographs showing desired fitting positions. Keep electrical documentation ready and state any essential equipment that must remain in use. Leave opening panels, chasing around services and electrical disconnection to the responsible professionals.
