An electrician charges on average € 50 to € 85 per hour, plus € 25 to € 50 in call-out costs. Guide prices apply to many jobs: fixing a fault € 100-300, adding a socket € 85-175 per point, replacing a fuse box € 850-1,500. An emergency surcharge applies outside office hours — ask for the rate upfront.

First check whether the neighbours are also without power — then it's a grid outage and only the grid operator can help. If only your home is out, check the meter cupboard: is the earth-leakage breaker or a circuit breaker off? Switch it on once. If it trips again immediately, unplug the appliances on that circuit and try again. If the fault persists, submit a request — a home without power gets priority.

An earth-leakage breaker that keeps tripping usually points to a leakage current: a faulty appliance, moisture in an outdoor socket or crawl space, or ageing wiring. Find the appliance by unplugging everything on the circuit and plugging back in one by one. If the breaker trips even with nothing connected, the installation itself is the problem — work for the electrician.

Small jobs — hanging a lamp, replacing a switch or socket — you can do yourself, provided you switch off the circuit and verify it is dead. Everything in the meter cupboard, new circuits, three-phase power and bathroom zones is work for a professional: mistakes there are a fire risk, and with damage caused by unqualified electrical work your insurer may push back (check your policy).
