How are electrician costs in Vienna calculated?
For smaller jobs, the price can often be estimated quite well in advance. For repairs, troubleshooting and larger projects, the actual effort depends more on the situation on site, the existing installation and the scope of work.

For small jobs of up to 60 minutes on site, we charge €150 plus VAT.
Travel within Vienna is already included.
If the service call takes longer
If the work on site takes longer than 60 minutes, we charge €50 plus VAT for each additional 30 minutes.
What can also affect the final price
In addition to the time required, many jobs are also influenced by materials, the condition of the existing electrical installation, accessibility and the overall scope of work.
How Elektro Vienna gives you a clear price estimate
To help you get a better understanding of the expected scope of work, we have put together typical jobs with example prices.
All examples are indicative prices and are stated plus VAT. Unless otherwise specified, materials are charged separately.

How Elektro Vienna gives you a clear price estimate
Many requests can already be assessed quite well in advance — without an unnecessary on-site appointment. If you send us photos, a short video or existing plans, we can often tell you what makes technical sense and what the next step should be.
For larger or more complex projects, an on-site inspection is the better basis for a fair assessment and a clear quote.
1
Briefly describe your request
Please send us a short description of what you need — ideally with photos, a video or a plan. Especially in older buildings in Vienna, many things can already be assessed quite well in advance.
2
We assess what makes sense
We review your request from a technical perspective and let you know whether the effort can already be estimated in advance or whether an on-site inspection would be more useful. This means you do not receive a generic quick price, but a realistic technical assessment.
3
The right next step
For smaller or clearly defined requests, an initial remote assessment is often enough. For larger projects, renovations or unclear existing installations, we arrange an on-site inspection and prepare a clear quote based on that.
For larger projects, renovations or unclear existing electrical installations, we charge €100 plus VAT for the on-site inspection.
In return, you receive a fair technical assessment and a clear quote. If you place the order with us, the €100 plus VAT will be deducted from the final invoice.
