Very hard to say without seeing it as there are so many variables.
I haven't done this in a very long time, but at a guess I would think that the lowest possible price would be €600 + VAT.

Just a fusebox about 600/700 providing no wiring problems

Thanks guys. That’s what I was thinking.

And if they where looking for a cert to re energize a house. Just to test and certify and there is no wiring needed doing what would that roughly cost. Thanks.

That's a compliance certificate you need, sparks will have to carry out a complete check to certify not just switch Fuse box

Lots of times when a fuseboard needs to be replaced you also need to upgrade the bonding in the house. Depending on the size of the house etc this can add to it

Impossible to say. If the power is off currently then the house needs too meet today’s standards and not the standards of when it was wired! The house could be perfectly safe for a reconnection but if it doesn’t meet today’s standards (1 new standard is a separate supply to the bathroom) then the REC cannot provide a very! How old is the house and how long is the ESB off?

Would the new cable where the L N E are all insulated be a "new standard". Would 10mm of the older type of cable going to an electric shower need to be replaced?

Test only certification of an existing installation does not require it to be certified to today's standards but to the Edition of ET101 at the time of installation.

It’s a requirement when replacing a db that the bonding(including new earth rod)and mains cables are upgraded
