Electrician in Skellefteå

What does it cost to rewire a house in Skellefteå?

A standard 120 m² house comes to roughly SEK 162,000 after the ROT deduction. The guide price is approximately SEK 1,350 per square metre after ROT — but every house is different, so you always receive a fixed quote after a free home visit before anything is decided.

What is included in a rewire?

New cables throughout the house, a new consumer unit with RCD and MCBs, earthed sockets in all rooms and documentation of the whole installation. You get a house where the electrics are as-new — and that shows in everyday life, in insurance conditions and on the day the house is sold.

When is it time?

Houses with original electrics from the 1950s, 60s and 70s are reaching that point now: unearthed sockets, dry insulation and fuse boxes not designed for today's electrical load. Flickering lights, tripping fuses and warm back-boxes are signals to take seriously.

How to get your exact cost

The price per square metre gives an honest indication, but the number of floors, ceiling height and what the walls look like all matter. Book a free home visit and we go through the house and give a fixed quote — it holds, with no additions afterwards. The ROT deduction is applied directly to the invoice.

Can we stay in the house while it is being rewired?

Yes, that is the norm. We work room by room and ensure that the kitchen, fridge, freezer and parts of the house have power in the evenings. The most disruptive days are around the consumer unit replacement — plan those in advance and the rest goes with limited impact on everyday life.

How long does a rewire take?

From a few days in a smaller house to a couple of weeks in a large house with many rooms — size, number of floors and the construction of walls and floor structures are the determining factors. The quote after the home visit includes a schedule as well as a price.

House purchases drive many rewires

Skellefteå's housing market is dominated by houses from the 1950s, 60s and 70s, and a large proportion of the rewires we carry out coincide with a change of ownership — either as a condition of the sale or as the new owner's first project. If you are considering it, an electrical inspection is a sensible starting point: the report shows in black and white whether the house needs a rewire now, in five years or not at all.

Frequently asked questions

Does the ROT deduction apply to rewiring?

Yes, the labour cost qualifies for the ROT deduction in homes more than five years old, and we apply the deduction directly to the invoice. The guide price per square metre on this page is stated after ROT.

Do the walls need to be opened up?

No, most of the cable runs go through existing conduit, behind skirtings and via the loft or basement. A few new back-boxes and chases may be needed — any making good of surface finishes is not included; that is for your painter or carpenter.

Is the quote after the home visit binding?

Yes, you receive a fixed quote that holds — with no additions afterwards. The home visit is free of charge and without obligation.
