Frequently asked questions
Can a handyman add a new socket, or does that need DEWA approval?
A socket added as a spur from an existing nearby circuit is handyman-level work and needs no utility involvement, though in a rental you need landlord permission for anything cut into walls. A new circuit from the DB, a board upgrade or an increase in connected load crosses into approved-contractor territory with DEWA, SEWA, ADDC or Etihad WE, depending on your emirate.
Do I have to pay for electrical repairs in my rented apartment?
Check your tenancy contract for a minor-maintenance clause; the common UAE arrangement makes tenants responsible for small repairs up to a stated amount per incident, with the landlord covering wear-and-tear and anything structural. An aging water heater leaking to earth is wear, not misuse, so document faults with photos and dates before agreeing to pay.
What is an RCD, and why does mine trip when the washing machine runs?
An RCD cuts power within milliseconds when current leaks to earth, which is what stops a faulty appliance from electrocuting someone. Washing machines trip it when their heating element's insulation degrades, a very common failure in the UAE's hard water conditions. The fix is repairing or replacing the appliance, never swapping the RCD for a less sensitive one.
Can electricians work evenings or weekends in apartment towers?
Emergency fault attendance is generally allowed at any hour, but planned noisy work like drilling is restricted by most building managements to weekday daytime slots, commonly somewhere between 8am and 6pm. Quiet work such as fixture swaps or DB diagnosis is often fine in the evening. Confirm your building's rules before booking a time you cannot use.
How do I know the electrician I am booking is actually qualified?
Legitimate operators work under a licensed company rather than as anonymous freelancers, and for regulated work they should name their utility approval without being pressed. Booking through tamam adds a layer, since listed vendors are verified and the job, payment and history are recorded in the app, which also makes it easy to rebook the same technician who already knows your board.
