An electrician usually charges an hourly rate for small jobs and a fixed price for larger installations. The labour qualifies for a 30 percent ROT deduction in 2026 if you own the home, which lowers your real cost.
Common questions
Hourly or fixed price?
Small jobs are often quoted hourly, while larger installations like a fuse box or EV charger usually have a fixed price. Ask for a clear quote.
How much does ROT lower the price?
ROT gives a 30 percent deduction on the labour in 2026, up to 50,000 SEK per person per year (Skatteverket). The company applies it on the invoice.
Is there a call-out fee?
Often yes. Call-out and any materials appear on separate lines because materials do not qualify for ROT. Ask what is included.
What about emergency electrical faults?
Emergency jobs can have a higher hourly rate, especially evenings and weekends. In case of danger, such as a burning smell or sparks, switch off the power and contact a certified electrician immediately.
