Complete guide to electricians in Ibiza: installations, safety, emergencies and certificates
Everything you should know about professional electrical services in Ibiza, written by our technical team with over 15 years of experience on the island.
Ibiza is an island with unique characteristics that directly affect an electrician's work: high power demand during the summer season, a large number of villas and luxury homes with complex installations, the presence of pools and wet areas requiring high IP protection ratings, and electrical infrastructure that in many cases dates back to the 80s and 90s. Understanding these particularities is essential to deliver quality electrical service on the island.
At Electricidad Ibiza we've been working on the island for over 15 years. In this guide we share the key points that any property owner, developer or holiday rental manager should know about electricity in Ibiza: from how a domestic installation works to the procedures needed to legalize a renovation or connect a new power supply.
Electrical installations in homes and villas
In Ibiza, most of the housing stock consists of villas and houses with installations that haven't been inspected in years. A properly executed electrical installation is the foundation of any home's safety. We install certified electrical panels, independent circuits for each area of the home, properly sized grounding and RCD and IGA protections suited to the contracted power. We work with certified cross-section copper cable and REBT-approved materials (Low Voltage Electrotechnical Regulations).
Electrical safety: why you should inspect your installation
An old or deficient electrical installation is one of the main causes of domestic fires in Spain. If your home is over 20 years old and hasn't had an inspection, it's likely that the RCDs don't trip correctly, cables are degraded, or the conductor cross-section is insufficient for current demand. At Electricidad Ibiza we carry out complete inspections: insulation resistance measurement, ground continuity testing, verification of all protections and a technical report.
24-hour electrical emergencies across the island
Power outages, breakdowns in peak season or short circuits don't give warning. That's why we offer a 24/7 electrical emergency service throughout the territory of Ibiza and Formentera. Our team reaches any point on the island in under 60 minutes: Ibiza Town, Santa Eulària, San Antonio, Sant Josep, Portinatx, Es Caná, Cala Llonga, Cala Tarida and all residential areas. We carry the most common materials in the van to resolve the fault in a single visit.
Electrical certificates and installation legalization
The Electrical Installation Certificate (CIE), known as the electrical report, is mandatory to connect power with Endesa/i-DE, for ownership changes, for power increases and for holiday rentals. We are authorized installers by the Conselleria d'Empresa, Treball i Energia of the Govern de les Illes Balears, which enables us to issue official certificates with legal validity. We also handle the paperwork with the utility company so you don't have to do any additional procedures.
