VAT and the electrical certificate

One Abu Dhabi price guide quotes AED amounts excluding 5% VAT, so ask whether the total you are given includes it. An Electrical Installation Certificate must be issued for all new electrical installations, and it may also be needed for an alteration or addition. Ask for the certificate before you pay the final invoice, and keep a copy with your property papers.

Season and climate

The UAE has a desert climate, with very hot summers from May to September and mild winters from November to March. Outdoor work is hardest in the summer heat, so schedule cable runs and charger installations for the mild months. November is the start of that mild season, which makes it a good time to request offers and plan the work.

How it is priced and delivered here

Wiring is quoted per square metre, while Dubai electricians also quote per hour from about AED 129, and simple fixture jobs can start at AED 99. Measure in square metres and give the cable-route length from the distribution board to the charger, since that length drives the price. For an EV charger, mention DEWA, because the grid connection is part of the quote.

What to write in your request

Describe the work needed, the scope of work, the site address and the number of rooms, plus any materials you want supplied. Add your deadline, the experience you expect and whether the work is for a villa or an apartment. A budget in AED helps sellers answer quickly; if you are unsure, ask for a range.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. It reads your request, asks for missing details and checks sellers' websites and price lists in the UAE, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers receive the request and reply in the chat with their own price and terms. Your contacts stay hidden until you decide whom to share them with. You can also send the request link to electricians you know. Start with the request form or read how it works.
