Moving to the Netherlands: what tends to surprise people

The meter cupboard

Dutch homes have a meterkast, usually by the front door, holding the main fuse, the circuit breakers and the residual current devices. In older houses it is often too small for how people live now: one circuit for the whole ground floor, and a breaker that trips whenever the kettle and the microwave run together.

No earth upstairs

In homes built before roughly 1960 the bedrooms frequently have unearthed sockets. They look normal, but there is no earth conductor behind them. That matters for anything with a metal casing, and it is one of the first things we check.

Going off gas

Many households are switching from gas to induction cooking and a heat pump. Both need capacity your supply may not have. We calculate the real load before you order anything, and arrange a supply upgrade with the grid operator if it is genuinely needed.

Paperwork your landlord or insurer wants

Landlords and businesses are expected to have a certified installation. We inspect to NEN 3140, provide a report listing findings per item with photos, and put the defects right in the same process.
