What a electrician does

An electrician installs, extends and repairs electrical wiring: light points, sockets, consumer units and new circuits for the kitchen or the air conditioning. Some of the work can only be signed off by a licensed installer, such as the electrical certificate (CIE) the distribution company asks for before connecting the supply or increasing capacity.

Most requested jobs for a electrician

  • Replacing or adding a socket

    Between 30 and 60 € per point if there is a circuit nearby; if a new cable has to be run from the consumer unit, it costs more.

  • Installing a light point

    Between 18 and 70 € per point, light fitting not included. Several points in the same visit bring the price of each one down.

  • Replacing the consumer unit

    Between 300 and 600 €. In older flats without an RCD, it is the most useful safety upgrade you can make.

  • Electrical certificate (CIE)

    Between 70 and 300 €. You need it to connect the supply, increase capacity or certify a renovation, and only a licensed installer can issue it.

Emergency: what to do until the electrician arrives

If the RCD trips and will not reset, switch off all the small breakers in the consumer unit, reset the RCD and turn the breakers back on one by one: the one that trips it is the faulty circuit. Unplug everything on that circuit before trying again. If there is a burning smell, sparks or the consumer unit feels hot, do not touch anything else, leave the power off and wait for the electrician.

What you do not pay on Freeday

Quote portals charge the professional between 9% and 10% commission, and that cost ends up inside the price you pay. On Freeday it is 0%.

18 € – 20 €
