Hello dear community,

We have spent a long time researching and gathering information here, and would now like to share our electrical offer, which seems a bit high to us after reviewing other quotes in this forum. In particular, the electrician is unwilling to offer any discounts or allowances. On the contrary, we were arrogantly told that these are the best prices calculated for us and that we won’t find cheaper offers elsewhere...

To cut a long story short, €90 (about $98) net per electrical outlet is steep.

The construction method is clay block, where the outlet locations are already planned during the wall construction. No chasing or cutting channels will take place, so careful planning is essential.

The builder himself has only had good experiences with this electrician. As a precaution, we requested another quote and are currently waiting.

Construction will take place in the beautiful town of Oranienburg near Berlin.

Is it even possible to say in general that an offer is overpriced, or do electricians all charge similar amounts because some services are priced separately, etc.?

Best regards

and will you then cancel the cable and switch entirely to fiber / why not?

Cable internet with 1 Gbit works great here for me and is cheaper than the fiber provider. The combination of Vodafone cable and Vodafone mobile contract also saves me money and includes an unlimited data plan for mobile.

Ok, I only have broadband through cable; fiber optic is neither available nor planned in my area, and DSL only provides 6 Mbps (which I don’t consider true broadband). So, I’m dependent on this. However, I always thought I would switch 100% to fiber optic if it ever becomes available. Vodafone is only moderately stable here as well. With a 1 Gbps contract, the connection is barely sufficient, but sometimes I only get 240 Mbps throughput.

55 EUR/month seems quite expensive to me. But if fiber optic is even more costly, it’s something to consider.
