Why prices vary so much
In Seville you will see adverts from 15 euros an hour to more than 40. The difference is usually in what is included: whether travel is extra, whether you pay for full hours, whether materials carry a mark-up, and whether the company is registered to issue the boletín (the official electrical certificate) and stands behind its work. A low hourly rate with lots of extras can end up dearer than a fixed price.
Hourly rate or fixed price
For a fault that is hard to diagnose, paying by the hour makes sense. For defined jobs such as a socket, a light, a fuse board or an EV charger, ask for a written fixed price: you know what you will pay before work starts.
How to get a quote with no surprises
- Describe the job and, if you can, send photos or a video: often that is enough for a fixed price without a visit.
- Ask what is included: travel, materials, VAT (IVA in Spain) and the boletín if needed.
- Check the company is a registered electrical installer (empresa instaladora habilitada): without that registration it cannot certify anything.
- Ask for an invoice when the job is done.
