Electrical Services in Dubai: Installation, Maintenance and Repairs

Small jobs such as replacing a socket or switch typically cost AED 150 to 250, light fitting installation AED 150 to 500, and distribution board upgrades AED 800 to 2,500 or more. Rewiring starts from AED 1,500 after a survey. You always receive a written, itemised quote before work begins.

Not for most repairs or like-for-like replacements. You do need DEWA approval for changes to your supply, such as a load increase, a new meter or an EV charger connection, and these go through a DEWA-approved contractor or consultant. All work should follow the DEWA Regulations for Electrical Installations.

A load increase starts with a load calculation showing what your property needs. A Dubai Municipality No Objection Certificate is usually obtained next, then an enrolled contractor submits the application to DEWA. Your DB and main cable may also need upgrading. We carry out the load assessment and prepare the calculations for you.

We recommend a full electrical inspection once a year for homes, ideally before summer when air-conditioning load peaks, and every six months for commercial properties. Regular checks catch loose connections, overheating and failing RCDs before they cause outages or a fire risk.

An electrician is the trained technician who carries out wiring, repairs and testing. An electrical contractor is the licensed company that employs electricians and takes responsibility for the work, including compliance, materials and authority approvals. For anything beyond small repairs in Dubai, hire through a licensed electrical contractor.
