A per-point electrical rate sounds simple, but it hides the parts that actually 
matter for safety and cost — the board, the heavy-appliance circuits, the wire grade
and the earthing. A quote that prices only “points” and skips the DB upgrade or 
the dedicated circuits is incomplete, and in an older flat it can be unsafe. This
guide explains how electrical work is priced in Thane and what a complete quote 
covers.

_The figures here are indicative current market ranges for Thane and the wider MMR—
not Jyani’s quote — your exact cost depends on the flat’s existing wiring, the points
and circuits needed, and is confirmed only after a free site visit and a review 
of your requirements._

## How electrical work is priced

| Item | What it covers | Indicative basis | 
| Per point | Switch/socket point, wiring, plate | ₹400 – ₹1,000 | 
| DB / MCB board | Board upgrade sized to load, MCBs, RCCB | ₹8,000 – ₹25,000 | 
| Heavy circuits | Dedicated AC, geyser, kitchen appliance circuits | ₹15,000 – ₹40,000 | 
| Full rewire | Whole-flat rewiring (older flats) | ₹50,000 – ₹1.5 lakh | 
| Earthing | Earthing check/correction | ₹2,500 – ₹8,000 |

## What a complete electrical quote covers

Beyond the point count, a complete quote includes the **board** (a DB sized to the
real load, with correctly rated MCBs and RCCB protection), the **dedicated circuits**
for heavy appliances (AC, geyser, kitchen), the **wire grade** (ISI-marked copper
sized per circuit), and **earthing**. These are the items a per-point-only quote
omits — and the ones that matter most for safety. The full scope is on our electrical
work in Thane page, and the wire and board logic is in our [monsoon-proof materials guide](https://jyaniinterior.com/best-materials-thane-homes-monsoon-proof/).

## Rewire vs add points

In a newer flat, you may only need to **add or reposition points** against your 
layout — a smaller scope. In an older flat with aluminium wiring, an undersized 
board or no RCCB, a **full rewire** is the safe call, and it’s a larger line. The
decision comes from checking the existing wiring at the site visit, not from a phone
estimate. Planning the points themselves is covered in our guide to [electrical point planning for a kitchen and living room](https://jyaniinterior.com/electrical-point-planning-modular-kitchen-living-room/),
and for a 2BHK specifically, our [electrical points for a 2BHK in Thane](https://jyaniinterior.com/electrical-points-2bhk-thane/)
post.

## Where not to economise

Electrical is the one trade where a cheap shortcut is a safety risk, not just a 
quality one. The board sizing, the RCCB, the dedicated heavy circuits and the earthing
aren’t optional extras to trim — they’re what keep the flat safe under a modern 
appliance load. Economise on the shutter finish, not the circuit protection.

## Electrical within the total

Electrical is a smaller line than the kitchen or furniture but a critical one —

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How much does electrical work cost in Thane?** It’s priced per point plus the 
board, heavy circuits, wire grade and earthing — not points alone. The exact figure
depends on the flat’s existing wiring and the points and circuits needed, confirmed
at a site visit.

**What should a complete electrical quote include?** The point count, a DB board
sized to the load with correctly rated MCBs and RCCB, dedicated circuits for AC,
geyser and kitchen, ISI-marked copper wire sized per circuit, and earthing — not
just “points”.

**Do I need a full rewire or just new points?** A newer flat may only need points
added or repositioned; an older flat with aluminium wiring, an undersized board 
or no RCCB usually needs a full rewire. The site visit decides.

**Where shouldn’t I economise on electrical?** On the board sizing, RCCB, dedicated
heavy circuits and earthing — these are safety items under a modern appliance load,
not optional extras to trim.

**Is electrical a big part of the renovation budget?** It’s a smaller line than 
the kitchen or furniture but a critical one, especially in older flats needing a
rewire and board upgrade.
