How Much Does an Electrician Cost?

One of the first questions people ask when they need a new electrical installation or modifications to an existing system is: “How much does an electrician cost?” The cost of hiring an electrician can vary considerably depending on the type and scope of the work required.

As a small electrical company, we aim to keep our costs as competitive as possible. We do not maintain large stocks of materials and instead work closely with our suppliers. By purchasing larger quantities throughout the year, we can benefit from supplier discounts and pass these savings on where possible.

The answer to the question “How much does an electrician cost?” therefore also depends on the materials required and the prices or discounts available from suppliers at the time.

As an example, replacing a single-phase distribution board with 8 circuits, 2 residual current devices (RCDs) and a main switch typically costs approximately €750 to €1,000. This price does not include travel costs, labour or any additional materials that may be required.
