AC and water heater circuits

Dedicated circuits for split units, geysers, ovens and hobs — the loads a general circuit cannot carry.

An air-conditioning installer connects the unit to a point; somebody has to put the point there first, on its own circuit, with an isolator the installer can reach. The same goes for the geyser, the oven and the hob. In an older Maltese flat these loads are often hanging off a socket circuit that was never meant for them, and the RCD tells you so every summer.

We do not publish a price for a dedicated circuit because no Maltese guide does, and the honest range depends on the run from the board. It is quoted on site, itemised, and it is usually done in a morning.

What this covers

What it costs

Air-conditioning installers in Malta quote the electrical point separately, and no published guide carries a figure for it. It is quoted after the site visit; a plain new socket is shown for scale.

A band, not a quote: the low end is a straightforward job with clear access, the high end is the same job with the complications a site visit finds. Materials are included where the line says so.

How it works

You deal with us, not with the trade. We visit, we quote a fixed price, we bring in a REWS-authorised electrician from the CheckYourTraders-verified network, and we stand behind the work. One point of contact, one contract, one invoice — and a certificate at the end.

Questions people ask

How many splits can a single-phase supply carry?
It depends on the units and what else runs at the same time. Two or three inverter splits are common on 40 A; a whole villa of them, plus a pool pump and an EV charger, is a three-phase conversation.
