## Answer

Bangalore electrician per-day rate in 2026 is ₹780–₹3,250 — one of the highest in India, matching Mumbai. Freshers earn ₹780–₹1,000/day; mid-career (3–7 years) ₹1,170–₹2,340/day; senior electricians running a team on residential projects ₹2,340–₹3,250/day.

Per-day rates are used for multi-day site work like new-flat wiring, complete house rewiring, or inverter+solar installation. For single-visit repair work (fan install, MCB diagnosis, switchboard swap), electricians in Bangalore price per-job: ₹200–₹650 for a fan, ₹390–₹1,300 for switchboard replacement, ₹520–₹1,300 for MCB tripping diagnosis.

Specialists earn more: BEE-certified electricians and those trained on inverter+solar or home-automation systems bill ₹2,500–₹4,000/day even at mid-career because the ticket size per project is larger.

Going direct via Solve24 (zero-commission) vs. commission-based apps saves 20–30% on every job because the platform doesn't add a markup on the electrician's quoted rate.
