Wiring in Delhi
Rewiring is the defining Delhi electrical job. Aluminium conductors in pre-1995 DDA and colony housing creep at screw terminals as they age, and the same flats now run several air conditioners on cable sized for fans and tube lights. Chasing walls in an occupied Delhi flat also means dust control matters, so we cut dry where the run allows.

Why Delhi is different
Electrical work in Delhi
Delhi's defining electrical problem is original wiring under modern load. Aluminium conductors in pre-1995 DDA and colony housing creep at screw terminals, and boards built with four to six ways now serve homes running several air conditioners. The right answer is almost always redistributing circuits and adding dedicated points, not fitting a larger main MCB.
Wiring is the one job where cutting corners stays hidden until it is expensive. Most of what we see in NCR homes is not dramatic — it is a 1990s flat carrying four air conditioners on cable sized for two ceiling fans and a tube light. Our electricians size the cable to the actual load, keep circuits separated, and leave you a layout you can hand to the next person who opens the wall.
Common problems
Wiring faults we see most in Delhi
Each one written the way a customer describes it, with the cause behind it.
“Sockets get warm, or a plug top discolours”
Usually because: Undersized cable or a loose termination heating under load. This is the stage before a burn mark, and it is worth acting on immediately.
What we do: Circuit is re-cabled to the correct size and every termination on the run is re-made.
“Lights dim whenever the fridge or AC compressor kicks in”
Usually because: Lighting and power sharing one overloaded circuit, so the inrush current drags the voltage down across both.
What we do: Lighting is split onto its own circuit at the distribution board.
“A mild tingle from a tap, geyser body or appliance casing”
Usually because: A missing or broken earth. Common in older Delhi colonies where the original earthing pit was never maintained.
What we do: Earth continuity is traced end to end and the earth conductor restored or re-run.

- New light, fan, 5A and 16A power points
- Concealed conduit runs, or surface casing where chasing is not permitted
- Separate circuits for heavy loads — AC, geyser, microwave
- Continuity, polarity and earth-continuity testing before handover
What it does not cover
Listed so nothing appears on the bill that was not discussed up front.

Pricing
Wiring charges in Delhi
Indicative Delhi rates for a normal job.
| Job | Indicative price |
|---|---|
| New light / fan point | ₹350 – ₹650per point |
| New 16A power point (AC, geyser) | ₹600 – ₹1,200per point |
| Concealed rewiring, 2 BHKVaries most with cable size and how many points you keep versus add. | ₹18,000 – ₹38,000 |
| Concealed rewiring, 3 BHK | ₹28,000 – ₹55,000 |
| Fault finding / open-circuit tracing | ₹500 – ₹1,200per visit |
| Earthing check & restoration | ₹800 – ₹2,500 |
These are indicative ranges for typical jobs, not quotes. You see the actual price for your job before you confirm the booking. A visiting charge of ₹99–₹149 applies where an inspection is needed, and it is adjusted against your final bill. Materials are billed separately and itemised on your digital invoice. Delhi is our baseline: figures on this page are the unadjusted NCR rates. Travel between neighbourhoods is short, most housing is directly accessible, and society entry is rarely a delay. Where a Delhi job does cost more, it is scope rather than location — older wiring and galvanised pipe take longer to work on than modern equivalents.

FAQs
Wiring in Delhi — common questions
How do I know if my flat actually needs rewiring?
Warm sockets, browning around switch plates, an MCB that trips more often than it used to, or a tingle from an appliance body are all signs the wiring is past its comfortable load. Age matters too: aluminium wiring, common in NCR flats built before the mid-1990s, becomes brittle at terminations. An electrician can test rather than guess, and a fault-finding visit costs a fraction of a rewire.
Will you break my walls?
Concealed wiring means chasing channels into plaster, so yes, there is cutting where the run goes. We keep it to the marked route, cut dry where possible to limit dust, and leave the conduit ready for your mason. If you would rather not open walls at all, surface casing-capping is a legitimate option and we will price both.
What cable do you use?
ISI-marked FR or FRLS copper, sized to the circuit — typically 1.0 sq mm for lighting, 1.5 sq mm for fan and 5A points, 2.5 sq mm for general power, and 4 sq mm for air conditioners and geysers. We do not use aluminium for internal wiring, and we do not down-size to save on material.
