Market reference range · actual price per quotation · Market estimates, not yet derived from completed jobs · last reviewed July 2026
The real price comes from the technician’s quotation. Usually it is priced from the photos and details you send on LINE, with no visit first; for some jobs the technician needs to see the site first and then sends the quote. Either way you confirm the price, and only then does the work start.
A visit costs 500 baht when the technician comes from your own province and 2,000 baht from another one. It is counted inside the quote’s single total rather than billed separately, and it is not refunded if you look and decide against the repair.
If a job needs the technician to see the site before a quote can be given, and that look ends with you deciding against the work, whether the visit is charged depends on the job; you are told before the visit.
The quoted total covers every item you confirmed, but not replacement parts: whether any are needed can only be established on site, and if they are, they are charged on top of the total.
What changes the price
- How far the new wiring has to run and whether a wall has to be cut open for it — surface-mounted wiring is far cheaper than wiring that needs to be chased into a wall and covered back up
- The load size and number of circuits a consumer unit needs to support — a property running heavy appliances needs a bigger, more expensive unit than a light-load home
- The condition of the existing wiring — an older property with wiring that's degraded throughout may need a full rewire rather than a single-point repair
- How many points need fixing in the same visit — bundling several usually gets a better per-point price than a separate call-out for each
How to spend less
- Report a breaker that trips often as soon as you notice it, even without a burning smell — catching it early is a much smaller job than the one it becomes if it's ignored
- If you need several new wiring points around the same property, report them together rather than calling a technician out one point at a time
- Describe the symptom precisely — which breaker trips, and when, which outlet has stopped working — so the technician can plan the diagnosis before arriving and spend less time finding it on site
Frequently asked questions
Am I being charged a foreigner price for this?
The ranges here are the same market reference regardless of who's asking. What actually protects you is that the technician confirms the price over LINE, in writing, before starting — compare it against this page and question anything that doesn't fit.
My condo's consumer unit or main wiring is failing — is that the juristic office's cost or mine?
Wiring and the consumer unit inside your own unit are typically your (or your landlord's) responsibility; a fault in the building's shared electrical infrastructure is typically the juristic office's. A technician can tell the two apart once they've looked, which is worth doing before assuming either way.
Is a breaker that trips often actually dangerous?
It's a warning sign worth acting on, not ignoring — usually an overloaded circuit or a short. The technician traces the actual cause before doing any repair, because simply leaving the breaker switched off doesn't make the underlying fault go away.
Why can consumer unit replacement cost almost three times as much from one property to another?
It comes down to load size and circuit count. A small unit for an ordinary home costs far less than a larger unit built to support several high-draw appliances at once.
