That’s a good question. Several factors affect the cost of replacing or installing new equipment. Suppose you are looking to replace a standard chandelier. Installation usually takes 1-2 hours, so electrician generally charges range from 80AED to 120AED or more. The charge you based on the job, not per hour. A competent electrician will describe these costs in advance and give you an estimate before undertaking any electrical project. Some even evaluate your property before giving you an estimate to determine if you need to perform major electrical work, such as replacing old wiring or bad wiring.
