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!

40€ per socket? Someone really charged a lot there. Or did you choose a particularly expensive model?

They really did charge that much. That was just the price for the standard socket. Everything else would have been extra.
I especially found the price for the double socket to be excessive, since no additional wiring was even required.

Unfortunately, we were somewhat tied to the house builder and, therefore, their subcontracted electrician. In hindsight, I would probably have managed the electrical work myself. At the time, though, we didn’t feel confident enough to do so.
