Electrician in Vilnius
Electrical work is one area where a do-it-yourself attempt often costs more than the pro would have. Electricians in Vilnius arrive with a voltage tester, multimeter and the right tools, so they usually locate the fault within the first hour. Typical calls are lost power, breakers tripping repeatedly, replacing sockets and switches, mounting light fittings, work on the consumer unit, installing an RCD, and connecting hobs and ovens. For bigger jobs it helps to know whether the flat is in an older or a newer building.
Call-out in Vilnius
An electrician visit in Vilnius is usually arranged the same or next day during working hours. If power is out or a socket is sparking, do not keep resetting the panel — submit a request and describe the symptoms.

How pricing works
Prices are for labour. Materials (sockets, breakers, cable) are billed separately unless you agree otherwise. More complex fuse-box work is priced on site after inspection.
How to prepare before the visit
Clear access to the consumer unit and the fault location. If you know which breaker trips, write it down. Keep children and pets away while the pro works with live circuits.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an electrician cost in Vilnius?
Small jobs are cheapest: a switch is €15–30, a socket €15–35, mounting a light fitting €20–50. Fault finding when the power is out costs €45–90, and consumer unit or fuse work €40–150. Prices cover labour only.
The power is out in the whole flat — what can I do before the electrician arrives?
Check the consumer unit: if a breaker has tripped, switch off high-load appliances and try resetting it once. If it trips immediately, don't repeat it — that indicates a short circuit. Mention this in your request so the pro brings the right equipment.
Do electricians work on the consumer unit and earthing?
Yes. Fuse and consumer unit work, installing an RCD and replacing circuits are the most common larger jobs. Beforehand it helps to know the building's construction year and whether the flat has earthing, since both change the scope and the price.
Can you connect an oven or a hob?
Yes, connecting an appliance costs around €40–100 and takes 1–2 hours. If the appliance needs its own higher-capacity circuit, the electrician will tell you on site whether the existing wiring is enough or a new line is required.
