What moves the price

  • The wiring already thereOld circuits, poor earthing or a full fuse board can turn a small job into a bigger one.
  • Getting the cable inChasing walls, lifting floors and long cable runs take time, and making good after is often extra.
  • FittingsA basic white socket and a brushed steel one with USB do the same job at very different prices.
  • When and whereEvenings, weekends and emergencies cost more, and so does Dublin.

Where these numbers come from

Every electrical work price

How it works

Each range runs from the lowest figure to the highest across at least two Irish price guides published or updated recently. Every source is listed under the job with the date we checked it, so you can read it yourself.

Once a job has enough real quotes sent with QuotePaid in an area, the page also shows the middle half of what businesses actually quoted there, before VAT: at least 30 quotes from at least 5 businesses in the last 12 months, with no names, addresses or single prices.

From price guides published by Irish tradespeople, trade directories and suppliers. There is no official price list for trades in Ireland. We use a job only when at least two dated sources give a figure for it, list every source under the job, and recheck them.

It depends on the source, and most don’t say. Each job says which of its sources include VAT and which leave it out. Work on a home is usually charged at 13.5%, so ask whether a quote includes VAT before you compare two.
