Change of Contractor Fee

Hi Folks,

I wonder if anyone can help me out.

I need to change my contractor, however I am unsure of the final cost to do so. Below is the procedure taken from the safe electric website.

Here is a summary of how an application to change contractor is handled by Safe Energy Ireland

1. Please complete Form
2. New REC must not commence work until Approval is provided
3. Approval provided within 14 Days (if Eligibility Criteria met), please pay fee of €280 + VAT.
4. Confirmation of Approval Letter sent with form for new REC to complete
5. Inspection by Safe Energy Ireland, requested by new REC
6. Certificate issued by new REC

On point 5 above, is this a given in every case or is this at the discretion of the new contractor? And what is the fee for this inspection.

Many thanks

John
