Costs and included work
For rcd installation costs, compare the scope first: labour, required components, cable routes and checks after installation. A price is useful only when supply and finishing work are clearly defined.
| Work / price basis (from) | Starting indication | Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Electrician labour | From € 40 per hour | Excludes VAT and materials; not a total job price. |
Market indications checked on 2 October 2026, not fixed Multi Concurrent tariffs. The stated work and unit apply; the quotation confirms the total, VAT and any additional work.
What affects your total?
The protection type, circuits and existing distribution board determine the components; the installer specifies the required arrangement. An hourly rate does not cover a complete installation. Specify materials, travel, access, plaster repairs and any network-operator work separately.
What to send with your request
Send a distribution-board photo, number of connection points, intended appliances and cable routes. Include your postcode, preferred schedule and the elements that must remain, so the scope can be assessed.
Arrange an electrical assessment
A qualified electrician should assess the circuit, device and installation. Do not open or alter the consumer unit yourself based on an online price guide.
Check compatibility and scope
The proposed device must suit the installation and required protection. Other alterations may be necessary if the existing board or circuits are unsuitable.
Ask for testing and records
A quotation should include the relevant checks after work and identify any outstanding defects. Compare the completed electrical service rather than the component price alone.
