Electrical faults are the one area of home maintenance where cutting corners isn't an option — a poor connection or an overloaded circuit is a safety risk, not just an inconvenience. The Property Masters provides electrical services across Dubai and all seven emirates, carried out by qualified electricians working to DEWA requirements. From a flickering light or a tripping breaker to new circuits, lighting installation and fault-finding, we diagnose properly and fix it safely. Our rates start from AED 129 per hour (plus 5% VAT), and you always get a clear inspection and a fixed quote before any chargeable work — no hidden charges.
Electrical Work Done Safely, to DEWA Requirements
In Dubai, electrical work is governed by DEWA's standards. The combination of heat, high cooling loads and dust places real stress on wiring, distribution boards and connections. Our electricians work to DEWA requirements and carry out every job with safety as the first priority, diagnosing the underlying cause rather than applying a temporary patch. We are a fully licensed and certified provider working to ISO 9001 principles, serving all seven emirates.
What Our Electricians Cover
- Fault-finding and repairs — tripping breakers, dead sockets, flickering lights, intermittent faults traced to the source
- Lighting — fixtures, downlights, chandeliers, outdoor lighting and LED upgrades
- Sockets, switches and points — adding or relocating power points, dedicated appliance circuits
- Distribution boards (DBs) — inspecting, tightening, labelling, replacing faulty breakers or RCDs
- Safety devices — checking and installing RCDs/ELCBs that protect against electric shock
- Appliance connections — wiring in ovens, water heaters and AC isolators
Common Electrical Problems in Dubai Homes
- A breaker that keeps tripping is usually the system protecting you from an overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance, or insulation breakdown. It should never be "solved" by fitting a larger breaker — we find the real cause.
- Flickering or dimming lights often indicate a loose connection that generates heat; worth addressing before it worsens.
- Warm sockets, scorch marks or a burning smell are urgent: switch the circuit off at the board and call us.
- Outdoor and AC-related electrics suffer from Dubai's heat, dust and damp ingress at outdoor points.
Our Method — Diagnose, Quote, Then Fix
An electrician inspects the fault, identifies the genuine cause, and gives you a fixed quote before any chargeable work begins. Rates start from AED 129 per hour (plus 5% VAT), with parts itemised and no hidden charges. We aim to attend same-day for urgent issues where our schedule allows, but we won't promise a response time we can't reliably keep.
Safety First — Before We Arrive
- If you smell burning or see scorching, switch off the relevant circuit at the board.
- Don't keep resetting a breaker that trips repeatedly.
- Keep water away from sockets and outdoor points.
- Don't attempt DIY repairs on fixed wiring — in Dubai this is both a safety and a compliance matter.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does an electrician cost in Dubai?
Our electrical rates start from AED 129 per hour plus 5% VAT, with parts itemised separately. We inspect first and give you a fixed quote before any chargeable work, with no hidden charges.
Do you work to DEWA requirements?
Yes. Our electrical work is carried out by qualified electricians working to DEWA requirements. If a job needs a specific DEWA approval or notification, we'll tell you clearly and point you in the right direction.
Why does my circuit breaker keep tripping?
Repeated tripping usually means the system is protecting you from an overloaded circuit, a faulty appliance, or a wiring fault. It shouldn't be solved by resetting it repeatedly or fitting a bigger breaker — we find and fix the real cause.
Is a warm socket or burning smell dangerous?
Treat it as urgent. It usually indicates a poor connection or overload that can overheat. Switch off the affected circuit at the distribution board and call us on +971 50 928 5264.
Can you install lighting and add power points?
Yes. We replace and install light fixtures, downlights and outdoor lighting, and we add or relocate sockets and switches, including dedicated circuits for appliances — all to DEWA requirements.
Can you check the wiring in an older property?
Yes. We inspect the condition of existing wiring, distribution boards and safety devices, and flag anything unsafe so you can decide what to address. This is sensible when moving into an older home.
Can you come the same day for an emergency?
We aim to attend same-day for urgent issues where our schedule allows, but we won't promise a response time we can't reliably keep. For anything that smells of burning, switch off the circuit and call us straight away.
