We were offered a maintenance contract for the temporary power distribution box. The maintenance is supposed to be carried out monthly, and an inspection report will be created. Cost per month: 142.80€.

Is such a maintenance contract necessary?

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one who finds this totally exaggerated. Besides, the temporary construction power distributor should also have a TÜV label indicating the date of the next inspection.

At our place, the electrician from the general contractor installed the unit. I didn’t even have a contract with the electrician. So it’s not my problem what they’re doing there.

I only paid the local utility provider for:
- Conversion from house connection to construction connection (dismantling)
- Conversion from construction connection back to house connection

Everything else was completely irrelevant to me – whether there was a seal on it or not.

Especially considering the likely actual costs for the temporary construction power, the amount seems pretty outrageous. 😀

I visited the construction site again and inspected the temporary power distribution box. I could not find a TÜV sticker. There is a DGUV Regulation 3, but this applies to companies and publicly owned enterprises.

To sum it up: If the thing comes from your general contractor, none of the hardware is your responsibility at all.

I would say this should be checked in the contract.
Is the general contractor or the client responsible for temporary construction power?
