About this job

What does complete house wiring mean?

Wiring a home means installing the complete electrical system: all cabling from the fuse box to every socket, switch and light point. We divide the installation into circuits, each protected by its own circuit breaker, and protect those with 30 mA RCDs. Heavy appliances such as the hob, oven, washing machine and tumble dryer each get their own circuit. Want an EV charger, heat pump or data and network cabling? We run that in the same operation.

For new builds and major renovations this is the ideal moment. The walls are still open, so we lay the conduit and flush-mounting boxes neatly into the masonry before the plasterer arrives, and we often price the work per square metre. It can be done in an existing home too, but that involves chasing and cutting. If your main concern is updating an outdated system in an occupied home, see our electrical renovation page. If it is not a whole home but electrics in general, from a single circuit to a single room, see the broader electrical installation page.

Warning signs

When do you get your home completely wired?

Wiring a whole home mainly comes up when building or carrying out a major renovation. If you recognise any of these situations, we are happy to think through the options with you.

  • New build

    There is no installation yet. We install everything from the fuse box upwards, neatly phased with the build, from shell to handover.

  • Extension or addition

    Adding an extra room, a conservatory or an outbuilding? We run the wiring through and connect the new space safely to your existing installation.

  • Shell or project home

    Bought a shell or a renovation project with no working electrics? We wire it completely, exactly to your layout and wishes.

  • Complete renovation

    Are the walls and floors coming out anyway? Then that is the moment to rewire the whole home in one go, with minimal chasing.

  • Splitting a property

    Dividing a property into two units requires separate circuits, separate connections and sometimes a second meter. We install that neatly.

  • Fully electric home

    Going gas-free with a heat pump, induction hob and EV charger? We wire the home to handle the load from the start, ready for the future.

How we work

How we approach it

From the first survey to handover: clear, safe and to NEN 1010. We manage the process; you know upfront what to expect.

  1. 1

    Survey and drawing

    We visit or work from your floor plan. Together we determine where the points go, how many circuits you need and whether an upgrade is necessary.

  2. 2

    Plan and fixed price

    You receive a circuit plan and a clear quote with a fixed price, laid out per item. No retrospective adjustments, no surprises afterwards.

  3. 3

    Wiring with open walls

    We place the conduit, trunking and flush-mounting boxes and run the cable, ideally while the walls are still open. Everything neatly to drawing.

  4. 4

    Fuse box and testing

    We connect everything in the fuse box, fit the sockets and switches and test the whole installation throughout. Circuits clearly labelled.

  5. 5

    Handover and guarantee

    We hand over to NEN 1010, with a tested, safe installation and a 2-year work guarantee. Quality you can build on.

Good to know

Good to know before you start

A few things that often raise questions when wiring a complete home. We explain them calmly.

What's included in a complete wiring?

Complete wiring means all cabling from the fuse box to every end point: every socket, switch and light point in the home. Think about wiring for the kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms, hallway, loft and outdoors, plus dedicated circuits for heavy appliances such as the hob, oven, washing machine and tumble dryer.

A new or heavier fuse box is often part of it too, plus, if you want it, data and network cabling for internet and television. We label every circuit, connect everything up and test the complete installation before handing over. That gives you a home that is safely and clearly wired from front to back.

New build is less expensive than renovation

For a new build we lay the wiring in open walls and floors, before the plasterer arrives. That goes quickly and neatly, which is why new-build wiring is less expensive per square metre. Allow roughly € 25 to € 40 per m².

In an existing home there is more work involved. The old installation has to come out, we chase slots, cut channels and make good afterwards. That demolition, chasing and reinstatement work makes renovation more expensive, even if the number of connection points is the same. To find out exactly what your situation costs, see the costs page with worked examples.

Working with your builder and NEN 1010

For new builds and renovations we fit into your build programme. We co-ordinate with your builder, plasterer and other trades so the wiring is ready at the right moment and the build does not get held up. If you have an electrical drawing from the architect or builder, we work neatly to that.

All wiring is installed to NEN 1010, the standard for safe domestic electrical installations. We measure and test the installation throughout and hand it over tested. That is not a formality: it is the proof that your home is safely wired, and it counts if your insurer ever looks at the installation.

Price

What does house wiring cost?

The price depends on your situation: the size of the home, the number of connection points and whether it is a new build or a renovation. That is why we survey first and then give you a fixed price upfront. Below is an indication.

Common extras:

  • Data and network cabling for internet and television
  • Home automation, dimmers and smart lighting
  • Dedicated circuits for EV charger, heat pump or induction hob
  • Electrics in the garden, outbuilding or garage

Frequently asked questions

Good to know

Complete house wiring costs on average € 25 to € 50 per m² of floor area, or roughly € 55 to € 115 per connection point. For a 120 m² home that works out indicatively at € 3,500 to € 6,500. New build is less expensive than renovation. The fixed price is determined after a survey or from your drawing.
For a new build we lay the wiring in open walls, which goes quickly and is less expensive per metre. In an existing home the old installation has to come out and we chase, cut and make good. That extra work makes it more expensive, even with the same number of connection points. If the main goal is to update an outdated system, see the electrical renovation page.
Certainly. For new builds and renovations we co-ordinate the planning with your builder, plasterer and other trades so the wiring is ready at the right moment. If you have an electrical drawing, we work to that. That way the build keeps moving and everything is neatly finished afterwards.
The best moment is the shell phase, while the walls and floors are still open. We lay the conduit and flush-mounting boxes before the plasterer arrives, without any chasing. For a renovation we plan it in as soon as the walls are open and before they are closed again. We co-ordinate that with your builder.
Not as standard. Wiring a complete home often does require a new or heavier fuse box, and that is a separate line item from € 450. It always appears clearly and separately in your quote. See our fuse box replacement page for more on the costs.
Yes. If we are opening the walls anyway, it makes sense to run data and network cabling, smart lighting and home automation at the same time. That is far more cost-effective than adding it later. We discuss your wishes at the survey and include them as separate line items in the quote.
Large-scale work cannot be captured in a single guide price. The number of points, the size and condition of the home, any chasing required and your wishes all go into the price together. That is why we first carry out a survey at your home or work from your electrical drawing. After that you receive a fixed price, laid out per item, with no surprises afterwards.
Yes. All wiring is installed to NEN 1010, the standard for safe domestic electrical installations. We test the installation throughout and hand it over tested. Your work comes with a 2-year guarantee. Certified, insured and neatly finished.

Service area

House wiring across Noord-Brabant

We wire homes throughout Noord-Brabant, from Eindhoven to Breda and from Den Bosch to Tilburg. Whether it is a new-build property, an extension or a complete renovation: we visit for a survey and work alongside your builder or plasterer. That way everything is ready at the right moment and neatly finished afterwards.

Want to move straight to a heavier connection, for example three-phase for an EV charger or heat pump? An application to grid operator Enexis is sometimes needed. We know the procedure and the waiting times in the region, and we submit the application in good time. That way your installation is ready for what comes next, without surprises.
