Summer · April – June
A pre-summer electrical inspection is not a "look at the meter and leave" job. A good electrician spends 30–60 minutes going through the load points, MCB panel, earthing and the AC and inverter circuits. The visit cost of ₹300–₹800 already covers all of this — fixes are separate.
The visit itself is usually adjusted into the final bill if any work is done. Below are the standalone rates for the most common pre-summer fixes.
| Job | Cost 2026 (₹) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Electrician visit / diagnosis | 100 – 300 | Adjusted into bill if work done |
| MCB tripping diagnosis | 300 – 800 | Root cause: loose wire, overload, faulty MCB |
| Fan installation | 150 – 400 | Per fan |
| New AC point wiring (5A/15A) | 800 – 2,000 | Per point |
| Switchboard replacement (6-point) | 400 – 1,000 | Plus materials |
| Inverter + battery setup / service | 1,000 – 2,500 | Plus hardware |
| Light fixture install | 150 – 400 | Per fixture |
| New wiring point (single) | 500 – 1,200 | Concealed |
Nine out of ten "no power" emergency calls in April–May trace back to the same five failure modes. Fixing these preventively in March costs ₹500–₹2,500 total; letting them fail during a heat wave means a rushed visit at higher rates plus an extra day without cooling.
A ₹500 electrician visit that fixes one loose connection can drop your bill by ₹300–₹800 a month, because loose contacts consume power as heat. Here are the checks and small fixes that pay for themselves within one billing cycle.
You see the electrician's name, area, years of experience and reviews before you call. You pay the electrician directly at ₹300–₹800 for a visit — the same as they would charge you if they were a family friend. On commission-based apps, that same ₹300 visit becomes ₹450–₹600 because the app adds a per-lead or per-job cut, and the electrician sees less of it.

A standard electrician visit costs ₹100–₹300 in 2026. This is usually adjusted into the final bill if work is done. Full MCB tripping diagnosis is ₹300–₹800 if it involves opening the switchboard.
March is ideal. AC and cooler load hits the wiring hard from April. Fixing loose contacts or an underrated AC point in March costs 30–40% less than fixing the same issue during a May heat wave.
Most common causes: the AC point is wired to a 5A instead of 15A circuit, the MCB rating is too low for the total home load, or a loose neutral wire is generating heat. All are diagnosed in a ₹300–₹800 visit and fixed same-day.
A new 15A AC point costs ₹800–₹2,000 per point in 2026 including labour and standard concealed wiring. If concealed wiring is not possible, surface conduit is cheaper.
No. A 1.5 ton AC draws 8–10A continuously. Running it on a 5A socket overheats the plug, melts the socket, and creates a fire risk. Always use a properly wired 15A point.
