Connecting light switches - Rate

Connecting light switches - Rate

MrFix rates are fair and transparent. For electricians we charge a fixed rate of €80 per hour including VAT and call-out charge.
 
When it comes to electricity one should be very careful. And in many cases it is wise to ask a professional to do the job. For having a new power socket or light switch you need to know about power cables, about the kind of cable you should use and about the meaning of the different colours of the cables.
 
When you need two or more switches for one light then it gets really difficult. Then with electrical cables it is extremely important that they are fixed in the right lasting way.
 
Many fires are caused by sparks from loosely connected cables! So it is not only knowing what to do but also about how to do it.
 
Home maintenance and repair service MrFix gets you a qualified electrician for your job. They will do it in a professional and safe way.
 
They work quickly, conveniently, efficiently and at fair and transparent rates.
 

Request an electrician hassle-free

 
It’s simple: fill out the web-form and we will match your job with the right professional within one hour.
 
How to make a clear request:

  • Select the “JOB TYPE” and give a concise description of the job under “JOB SUMMARY”
  • You may add 1 or 2 photos. This is not required but can be helpful!
  • Make your “DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF JOB” as detailed as possible: specify type of light or device and regarding installation: measures, space available, obstructions or other limitations.
  • Choose between “An expert ASAP” or “First a quote”.
     
    If you choose “First a quote” then we will provide the expert’s estimate. But if the job is bigger than ~€500 / 1 day of work we quote his fixed price, usually after a (paid) inspection visit.

For further questions about electrician rates see “What does it cost” on Help / FAQ or call us on 020-675 0333 (Mon-Thu 8:00-19:00h, Fri-Sat 9:00-18:00h and Sun 15:00-19:00h).

Electrician – Guarantee

 
The work of our qualified electricians is covered by a triple guarantee: the guarantee by the electrician himself, his liability insurance and finally our MrFix leverage over the electrician. So you are in safe hands.
 

Tip from MrFix

 
Electrician Bodhi has two pieces of advice for the do-it-yourselfer regarding safety. Bodhi: ‘Occasionally test if the earth leakage switch still works. You can do this via the test button, often indicated with a T (for test.) Are you going to work with electricity yourself? Then always disconnect the power to the distribution board. Working with electricity can be life-threatening.”
 
It can have dramatic consequences. Read for example: Fire caused by washing machine has big consequences.
 
This happens when the electricity of your washing machine is not connected properly or when too many appliances are connected to one distribution board. Prevent this and call in an electrician in good time.

Beside an electrician MrFix can also arrange a qualified Painter, Plumber, or Handyman.
