ᐅ Additional cost for electrical installation

Hello everyone,

Since I am currently planning additional electrical installations, I would like to ask for your experience to better evaluate the prices from my electrician. I am basically interested in the extra costs compared to the existing electrical package according to the building/performance specification for the solid house. The comparison basis should be "all-in" prices, including materials and installation.

- Additional cost per outlet (single and double)
- Additional cost for "switchable" outlets (controlled by light switches)
- Additional cost per light fixture
- Additional cost per TV outlet
- Additional cost per network socket (double socket, CAT-7 cable)
- Additional cost for motion sensors (house entrance)

Thanks in advance for your comments!

No experience shared in the forum...? What do the moderators say ;->?

It’s summer... not everyone feels like searching for comparison prices, and your request is not even 17 hours old yet, including a night in between.

So why don’t you go ahead and share the prices you have been offered? That would at least provide a starting point.

I am quite sure that some prices have already been posted in this forum before.
I have the price for electrical outlets in mind from my own experience. It was 40€ per single outlet or 80€ per double outlet.
When it came to pricing, I, of course, had as few double outlets installed as possible.
From what I have read about other prices here in the forum, that was rather on the higher end of the price range.

Our local contractor said it like this: "We’ll handle it on site with my electrician, and he will give ME a quote for how much I have to pay... and then you pay that." In plain English: it's negotiated unofficially. 40€ (about $43) per socket? Someone really charged a lot there. Or did you choose a particularly expensive series?

Above all, it doesn't really help – some will fully cover the cost, others won't... In the end, you still have to pay whatever your builder asks for. Even printing something out from the forum won’t change that.
