This covers wall mounting, connecting cold water inlet + hot water outlet + relief valve, and testing. If the wall doesn't already have brackets, add ₹100–₹300 for drilling and bracket install. A separate electrical connection is often needed — if the switchboard doesn't have a dedicated 15A socket near the geyser location, an electrician has to add one for ₹200–₹500 (near-existing wiring) to ₹800–₹1,500 (long wall run). Many geyser installations bundle this into a single visit. Gas geyser installation (LPG-fired instant water heater) is ₹800–₹1,800 because it involves gas pipe connection (safety-critical), water pipes, and flue vent placement. Some cities require licensed gas fitter for this — verify before hiring. The geyser unit itself is not labour cost: 15L electric storage geyser (Bajaj, Racold, AO Smith) ₹5,000–₹12,000, 25L ₹9,000–₹18,000, instant geyser (3L) ₹3,000–₹7,000, premium 25L with 5-star rating ₹15,000–₹35,000. Buy this yourself to skip the plumber's 8–12% supplier margin. ## Data **Geyser installation cost in India (2026)** | Job | Labour (₹) | Metro rate (₹) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Electric storage geyser install (plumber) | 500–1,200 | 650–1,560 | 15L / 25L standard | | Instant geyser install (plumber) | 400–900 | 520–1,170 | Smaller unit | | Gas geyser install (LPG) | 800–1,800 | 1,040–2,340 | Includes gas pipe | | Electrician wiring (near switchboard) | 200–500 | 260–650 | If needed | | Electrician wiring (long wall run) | 800–1,500 | 1,040–1,950 | New 15A line | | Wall bracket + drilling | 100–300 | 130–390 | If not pre-installed | | Geyser uninstall (for shift/replace) | 300–700 | 390–910 | Only | ## Frequently asked ### Does the geyser dealer include installation? Some brands (AO Smith, Racold premium range) include free "standard" installation with dealer/retailer purchase — usually only mounting + basic pipe connection, no electrical work. Verify what's covered before assuming. ### Do I need a new electrical point for the geyser? Only if there's no dedicated 15A socket near the geyser location. Modern bathrooms usually have one; older bathrooms often don't. Ask the plumber to check first; if new point needed, get an electrician for ₹200–₹1,500. ### How long does geyser installation take? 1–2 hours for a plumber-only job (existing socket). 3–4 hours if electrical point also needs to be added. Gas geyser: 2–4 hours because of gas pipe safety checks. ### What is the geyser installation cost in Bangalore? Bangalore rates: electric geyser ₹650–₹1,560 plumber labour + ₹260–₹1,950 electrician (if needed). Gas geyser ₹1,040–₹2,340. Total ₹910–₹3,510 excluding the geyser unit. ### Should I install a gas geyser or electric? Gas geyser: cheaper running cost (₹150/month vs ₹300–₹600/month electric), instant hot water, no waiting. Electric: safer for children, no gas pipe requirement, lower one-time cost. Gas is popular in North/West India; electric dominates apartments. ## Related - https://solve24.in/answers/plumber-charges-in-india - https://solve24.in/answers/gas-geyser-vs-electric-geyser-cost - https://solve24.in/answers/electrician-charges-in-india --- Published by Solve24 — India's hyperlocal services marketplace.
