Hello everyone,
We received a quote for our electrical network connection about a week ago. The total cost is approximately €6,500. Honestly, we were surprised since we had expected around €2,500. The quote includes the following items:
1) Network connection costs for: cable network connection for electricity with house connection cable 35 - 50 mm² (0.054 - 0.077 in²), house connection box NH00 3 x 50 A; about €2,000.
2) Services for: one piece extension of existing pit due to other trades, 30 m (98 feet) extension of existing house connection trench due to other trades; about €1,750.
3) Service for house entry: 120 m (394 feet) flexible protective conduit, non-buildable area; about €1,750.
Plus VAT of course, bringing the total to approximately €6,500.
Our questions now: Does this all seem reasonable? Especially with items 2 and 3, I’m not quite sure what to make of them.
Thank you.

Because a 4-way multi-utility conduit is being installed. 30m (100 feet) per utility (electricity, water, telecom, gas?), which adds up to a total of 120m (400 feet).Okay, that sounds logical. However, we do not have gas. But maybe Netze BW might not be aware of that.
In 2006, we paid just under €6000 for water, gas, electricity, and telecommunications connections in NRW. We did the digging ourselves on our property; only in public areas was this not allowed. So, if all the mentioned services are installed together, I think the price is reasonable.

maybe cable TV for that?Unfortunately, cable TV is not available here. However, I will inquire on Monday to find out exactly what it involves. Anyway, I have more information now. Thanks.

In North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) in 2006, we paid just under €6,000 for water, gas, electricity, and telecommunications. We did the excavation ourselves on our property, only public areas required professional work. So, if all the above services are installed together, I think the price is reasonable.Thank you for your assessment. Telecommunications costs an additional €800 for connection to the telephone network. Furthermore, a conduit for fiber optic connection is offered for around €350. However, fiber optic service is not yet available.
