Apartment Electrical Work

Apartment electrics call for a different approach depending on the building's age: a new-build usually needs wiring planned from scratch on bare walls, while an older apartment more often needs worn wiring and an outdated panel replaced. The electrician visits the site, assesses the condition, and proposes a solution for that specific case.

What's included

  • Inspecting the apartment and assessing the wiring and panel
  • Designing the circuit layout and the number of points to match the floor plan
  • Chasing and running cable, or removing and replacing old wiring
  • Assembling or replacing the panel with breakers and RCDs
  • Installing outlets, switches, and light points
  • Connecting appliances: stove, cooktop, oven, water heater
  • Load-testing the network before handover

When you need this

  • A new-build apartment was bought with no wiring — just a supply to the panel
  • An older apartment has aluminum wiring over 25-30 years old
  • A renovation is underway that moves walls, the kitchen, or the bathroom
  • There aren't enough outlets or light points for the current furniture and appliance layout
  • Breakers trip for no clear reason, or there's a smell of burning
  • New appliances need connecting — a stove, cooktop, water heater

A full apartment rewiring is priced individually after inspection — it depends on area, layout, and scope of work. The prices above are for individual jobs.

Apartment electrics get solved differently depending on whether it's a new build or an older property. A new-build usually has only a supply to the panel and bare walls, so the layout is planned from scratch: the number of circuits, and where outlets and lights go based on the actual furniture and appliances.

In an older apartment, the question is less often "where to add" and more "what to replace": aluminum wiring, a panel with old fuses, outlets that simply aren't enough for modern appliances. The work starts with an inspection and a decision on what can stay and what needs replacing.

Heavy appliances — an electric stove, cooktop, oven, water heater — are usually given their own circuit with a dedicated breaker, planned into the layout in advance.

Completed work carries a warranty of up to 3 years.

Frequently asked questions

Where does new-build apartment wiring start?

Usually with inspecting the apartment and the floor plan, then designing the circuit layout, the number of points, and a panel sized for the required breakers. It's easiest to run wiring during the shell-renovation stage, before walls are plastered.

Does the whole apartment need rewiring in an older building?

Not always — if the problem is limited to one or two runs, partial replacement is enough. A full rewiring is usually done alongside a major renovation, when the walls are open anyway, and the price is only confirmed after inspection.

How many electrical points does an apartment need?

There's no fixed number — it depends on the layout and how furniture and appliances are arranged. The electrician suggests outlet and light placement during the site visit, based on the renovation plan.

Can I order just part of the work — say, only the panel or only outlets?

Yes, each service — panel assembly, wiring, outlet installation — can be ordered separately, not necessarily as one bundled project.

Do you work evenings and at night?

Yes, the team works 24/7. Planned visits are usually scheduled for a convenient daytime slot, while a night or emergency call-out is billed at the higher rate, from 6,000 KZT.
