    Free PDF: Electrical Checklist Before Handover

    A one-page PDF with 12 quick checks to validate electrical quality before handover.

    Any electrical fault hidden at handover becomes your cost afterward, once the contractor's responsibility for the unit ends. This self-check takes under 15 minutes and catches the most dangerous defects before you sign.

    8 of the most important checks inside the PDF

    Test the RCCB with its trip-test button to confirm it actually functions
    Check earthing continuity at every outlet in the apartment, not just at the panel
    Confirm the distribution board is clearly labeled, with each breaker marked to its circuit
    Count electrical outlets per room and compare against the Egyptian code minimum
    Test correct polarity at every socket before first use
    Inspect the AC feeder and confirm the wire size matches the actual unit load
    Confirm there are no exposed connections or joints held together with tape
    Verify each sub-breaker's rating matches the load it's designed to carry

    FAQ

    Why do I need this check before handover?

    A hidden fault — like missing earthing or a non-functional RCCB — can mean a costly repair after handover, once the original contractor's responsibility for the unit has ended.

    Is this checklist a substitute for a professional inspection?

    No. It's a fast self-check tool. If you find anything questionable, we recommend a full professional inspection before signing final handover.

    Can I use this for a rental, not just a purchased unit?

    Yes, it applies to any apartment handover — whether newly purchased or newly rented — since the same electrical risks apply in both cases.
