Request a quote
  • Wiring for new builds and renovations

    Planning, conduits, distribution board and final fitting. In older buildings we replace cables and fuse boxes room by room, so you can keep living there during the work.

  • Solar power and battery storage

    From the roof inspection and grid registration to commissioning. We size the system and battery to your actual consumption, not to the largest roof area.

  • EV chargers and e-mobility

    Chargers in garages, carports or underground car parks. For apartment buildings with load management, so the building's supply stays within its limit.

  • Smart home and KNX

    Control lights, blinds and heating from one place, by switch or app. We plan KNX independently of any manufacturer and document every setting so anyone can work on it later.

  • Electrical inspection report (E-Befund)

    Inspection under the applicable Austrian OVE standards, for example before letting a flat, when buying one or at your insurer's request. We explain any defects clearly, with photos.

  • Call-out service

    The RCD keeps tripping or half the house has no power? We come out on weekdays until 10 pm and at weekends, usually within four hours.

Typical jobs

What people call us for

A selection of the work we do every week.

  • Adding sockets

    More sockets in the kitchen, home office or garden, with USB ports if you like.

  • Lights and LED upgrades

  • Retrofitting an RCD

    Protecting older installations without residual current protection, usually done in a morning.

  • New meter and fuse box

    Old board with screw-in fuses? We switch to circuit breakers and surge protection.

  • Adding a battery

    Extending an existing solar system with a battery to use more of your own power.

About us

In Linz since 2009. With vans, master electricians and apprentices.

Thomas Pichler founded the company in 2009 with one van and one apprentice. Today twelve people work here: electricians, two master electricians, our office team and one or two new apprentices every year.

Our customers are people building or renovating a home, property managers and local businesses between Leonding and Gallneukirchen. Many have stayed with us for years: first the flat renovation, later the EV charger, then the solar panels on the roof.

What matters to us: a quote that holds, an electrician who turns up at the agreed time, and a site that is tidy every evening. After every installation you receive a test report and the documents your insurer asks for.

  • Licensed master electricians
  • One fixed contact per project
  • Test report for every installation
  • Call-out service evenings and weekends

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Question not answered here? Give us a call, we are happy to advise.

+43 732 12 34 56
How much does the wiring for a detached house cost?

It depends on size and specification. For a house of around 140 m², a standard installation is usually in the low five figures, with KNX or solar on top. After the visit you receive a written, itemised quote.

How soon can you come?

Site visits usually happen within a week. Smaller jobs such as sockets or lights are often scheduled for the following week. If something has failed, our call-out service comes the same day.

When do I need an electrical inspection report?

Typical reasons are a new tenancy, buying or selling a flat, larger alterations, or a request from your insurer or property manager. We test to the applicable OVE standards and tell you clearly which defects are urgent and which can wait.

Are there subsidies for solar and batteries?

Subsidies from the federal government, the state of Upper Austria and some municipalities change all the time. With your quote we tell you what is currently available and provide the technical documents for your application.

Does rewiring make a lot of mess?

Running cables into existing walls creates dust, there is no way to avoid it completely. We cut channels with dust extraction, cover floors and furniture and tidy up every evening. Occupied flats are done room by room.

What guarantee do I get on the work?

Our work is covered by the statutory warranty, and devices such as inverters or chargers also carry the manufacturer's guarantee. Every installation is handed over with a test report, so you have everything to hand if something goes wrong.
