Why is the price range so wide? Depending on effort, preparatory work and installation location, the costs are higher or lower. For mounting one or more lamps or small appliances by an electrician, the costs are made up as follows:

• Travel costs – depending on the distance
• Material costs – terminals, cables and more
• Labour costs – working time and effort

Forward-looking electrical planning

Lighting, household appliances, entertainment electronics: forward-looking electrical planning makes sure everything gets the right connection. Where should there be light, and how must the lamps hang so that no unfavourable shadows fall? Light switches and sockets belong exactly where they will really be needed later. Kitchen appliances, large-screen TVs and surround systems as well as security technology such as video surveillance or alarm systems should also be taken into account from the start.

What is an electrical renovation?

An electrical renovation covers the renewal of the electrical systems of a building or apartment. It is necessary when the wiring no longer meets the state of the art, there are safety concerns, or damage has been caused by fire or water. Especially in buildings older than 40 years, the electrics quickly become overloaded with today’s many devices – with the risk of damage and failures.

When does a fuse box need to be renewed?

Electrical systems have a service life of about 40 years at most. According to DIN 18015-2, the fuse box should be renewed after 30 to 40 years at the latest.
