Here are some of the most common factors in the price of installing transfer, light and dimmer styles.

Installation costs transfer switch

Professional installation of a transfer switch costs on average € 200 to € 400 because electricians charge € 59 to € 75 per hour, and this is a 3 to 4 hour job. The units themselves are priced in the range of €180 to €225. Transfer switches are installed near the main switch of your home and direct current from a portable or standby generator to select devices. 

Light switch

Light switches of various types cost on average between €5 and €15 each and between €100 and €200 to install. It's a quick process, but you still benefit from a professional installation. Incorrect wiring or placement can lead to failed inspections and may result in replacement work. The hourly rate for an electrician is €59 to €75, and homeowners can make the most of that rate by having other electrical jobs done right away.
