Electrical inspection before you buy
What to check in a flat's wiring before you sign: the distribution board, the RCDs, the test records, the connection power and the Old Town rules.
Guides
Guides to electrical work in Dubrovnik homes, rentals and venues
Each guide answers one practical question that owners, holiday-rental hosts and venue operators ask before they call an electrician. Outside facts are linked to their official source, and each guide shows when it was last reviewed.
All guides
CCTV, GDPR and signage at a rental
What Croatian law and AZOP expect from cameras at a holiday rental: where they may point, what the sign must say, how long footage is kept and who may see it.
Facade work by rope access
How lights and cameras are fitted to Old Town facades from ropes, which approvals still apply and why the work is planned for spring or autumn.
Handover documents to insist on
What to ask for when electrical work is finished: a labelled board, a circuit list and schematic, the test report, and how long to keep them.
Holiday-rental electrical safety
What Croatian rules ask of a holiday-rental owner on electrics: lighting and sockets for categorisation, a working installation, inspections, records and cameras.
Increasing connection power with HEP ODS
Who asks HEP ODS for more power, which form and documents go with the request, the deadlines in its rules, how the fee is set and what your side of the meter needs.
Keyless entry for holiday rentals
A battery smart lock and a wired access-control system compared for a holiday rental: codes for one stay, power cuts, shared doors, door cameras and entry logs.
Surge protection for storm season
When storms peak around Dubrovnik, what surge protection in the board does and does not do, and the steps to take after lightning strikes nearby.
Why the power trips in summer
Circuit breaker, RCD or the HEP limiter: how to tell which one tripped in the summer heat, what each points to and when to stop resetting and call an electrician.
Wi-Fi and cabling in stone houses
Why Wi-Fi fades in thick-walled stone houses, how cabled access points fix it, and what to check before cables go into an Old Town building.
What the guides cover
Six topics, each linked to the part of the homepage that describes the work itself.
Buying & owning
What to check in a flat or house before you buy, and the handover documents worth keeping. Measuring an installation is part of fault finding and repairs.
Holiday rentals
The electrical safety a host is responsible for, and keyless entry for guests. Cards, codes and electric locks are covered under access control.
Power & faults
Why breakers trip in summer, and how to increase the power of a connection with HEP ODS. Boards, RCDs and higher-power connections are part of power installations.
Old Town
Network cabling in stone houses, and facade lighting and cameras fitted by rope access instead of scaffolding. The approach is set out under electrical work in the Old Town.
Security systems
CCTV at a home or rental: the data-protection rules, warning signs and where cameras may point. Recorders and remote viewing are part of CCTV.
Practical
Surge protection before the storm season, and what to do after a lightning strike. Each job follows the same steps, set out in how a job runs.
