Costs for Electrical services

Usually you can expect to shell out from 70 to 100 dollars per hour for data cabling work, which takes care of your computer network connections. Note: Expect also charges for the sockets required and other data cabling supplies.

Lighting fixtures

Pricing here will usually be based on the length of the project, with the labour prices being confirmed based on installations from outdoors or indoors. Supply costs will range anywhere from 14 to 700 dollars for an LED downlight with 10W.

Fibre optic cables

Initially the costs are a little more high-priced than expected, but fibre optic cables are far more superior in terms of convenience and speed. Optical fibre cables are created out of glass fibres providing far more efficient connections than other kinds of cabling fixtures.

Power point installation
