What's included
- Site inspection and cable cross-section sized to each circuit's load
- Removing old wiring where replacement, not a new run, is needed
- Chasing walls for cable, or running it on the surface in conduit or trunking
- Running cable and laying it out by circuit: lighting, outlets, heavy appliances
- Connecting new runs to the existing panel
- Insulation check and load test of the finished run
When you need this
- A shell renovation is underway and wiring needs to be run through the whole apartment or house
- The wiring is aluminum, over 25-30 years old, or regularly trips breakers
- An extension, summer kitchen, or outbuilding needs power brought in
- A new circuit is being added for a heavy appliance — AC, electric stove, underfloor heating
- Insulation on the wires is cracked, discolored, or there's a smell of burning
How the work is done
Pricing
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Surface-mounted cable run (per meter) | from 1,500 KZT |
| Cable run in conduit (per meter) | from 2,000 KZT |
| Wall chasing for cable (per meter) | from 3,000 KZT |
| New electrical point, materials not included | from 5,000 KZT |
| Junction box installation (unit) | from 1,500 KZT |
Prices don't include cable or materials; chasing in concrete can cost more. A full wiring replacement is quoted only after a site inspection.
Wiring is the foundation of a property's electrics, and how it's run and sized determines whether the network can handle the load of modern appliances. Copper cable is used, with the cross-section matched to each run's calculated load — one rating for lighting, another for outlets and heavy appliances.
Running brand-new wiring — for an extension or an added circuit, say — is one job. Replacing worn aluminum wiring in an older apartment is another: it adds removing the old run and, often, patching the chased wall afterward.
- Surface-mounted cable in conduit or trunking is faster and doesn't require stripping finishes
- Concealed wiring in a chased wall looks neater, but chasing concrete costs more than chasing brick or block
- A full rewiring is a separate project, priced only after a site inspection
Completed work carries a warranty of up to 3 years.
Frequently asked questions
How is wiring different from a full electrical installation project?
A full installation is a turnkey project — layout, panel, every point and all the wiring designed together. Wiring installation is specifically about running or replacing cable runs, either on its own or as part of a larger renovation.
Chased or surface-mounted — which should I choose?
Wiring chased into the wall looks neater but means stripping finishes and costs more because of the chasing work. Surface-mounted cable in conduit or trunking is faster and cheaper, and works well if you don't want to cut into finished walls. The electrician can help decide during the site visit.
How do I know it's time for a full rewiring?
The main signs are aluminum wiring over 25-30 years old, breakers tripping for no clear reason, cracked or discolored insulation, and a smell of burning. A full rewiring has no fixed price — it's quoted only after inspecting the site.
Who pays for the cable and materials?
The listed prices for running cable and chasing don't include the cost of cable, trunking, or junction boxes — materials are costed separately and agreed in advance.
Can an electrician come out at night if the wiring is sparking?
Yes, the team works 24/7 — but night and emergency call-outs are billed at the higher rate, from 6,000 KZT, unlike a daytime visit.
