Around your move

Electrical work

Half the things you unmount on a shifting day are electrical: the fans, the chandelier, the geyser point, the AC stabiliser, the wall-mounted TV. They all leave a hole and a live wire behind them, and none of them go back up on their own. An electrician on the day handles the taking down and the putting up, and he is also the person who tells you the new flat's board is running your AC off a 6A point before you find out the expensive way.

What you get

  • Ceiling fans, wall fans, chandeliers and light fittings taken down and remounted
  • TV wall brackets fitted, with the cabling run out of sight where the wall allows
  • New 16A points for an air conditioner, geyser or microwave
  • Switchboards, sockets and regulators replaced where they are burnt or loose
  • Earthing and MCB checked at the new flat before appliances are plugged in
  • Every opening left behind at the old flat capped and made safe

Not included

  • Full or partial rewiring, and anything that needs walls chased open
  • Meter, sanctioned load and connection changes with the electricity board
  • Inverter and solar installation
  • Repairing the appliances themselves, as opposed to the point they run on

What we need from you

  • What is coming off the walls, and what has to go up at the other end
  • Which appliances need a dedicated point at the new flat
  • A photo of the distribution board at the new place if you have access

How long it takes

A same-week slot in most cities, and we aim to put him on your shifting date. Fans and fittings for a 2 BHK are about half a day at each end.

What it costs

Every job is quoted on what you actually need. Tell us the scope and we send a written price with the terms before you commit to anything.

No advance is taken on a call and nothing is charged for the quote itself.

Who does the work

The work is done by verified local technicians we already use on moves, not by staff of our own. We take the details, send them the job and stay on it until it is finished. You approve the price before anyone is booked.

Frequently asked

Can you check whether the new flat can take my air conditioner?

Yes, and it is worth asking for. The electrician reads the board, the existing point rating and the earthing, then tells you plainly whether it needs a dedicated 16A line before you run a 1.5 ton unit off a socket meant for a table fan.

Who takes the fans down, you or the movers?

We do. Packing teams are good at cartons and bad at live wiring, and most will not touch a ceiling fan for exactly that reason. Book the electrician for the same day and the fans travel with the rest of the load.

Do you handle a meter transfer or a load increase?

No. That is a matter between you and your electricity board, and it runs on their timeline rather than ours. The electrician will tell you if he thinks your sanctioned load is the actual problem.
