Rate of electrical points

 Welcome to Babu Electrics – Trusted Electrician Services in West Bengal!

Are you confused about how electricians calculate the rate of electrical points? Don’t worry — you're not alone. Many people across West Bengal don’t understand the proper method of counting electrical points during a wiring project. Today, Babu Electrics is here to explain everything clearly!

💡 What Is an Electrical Point?

In the electrical trade, the term "Electrical Point" refers to each individual circuit created in a wiring project. For example:

If one switch controls one light, that's one circuit — or one point.

A switch board usually contains multiple circuits, which means it includes multiple points.

So, whenever a complete circuit is created from the power supply to the appliance (light, fan, socket, etc.), it’s counted as one point.

⚡ Why Do Different Electricians Charge Differently?

Across India and especially in West Bengal, electricians have different methods of calculating point charges:

Some count each item on the switchboard — switch, socket, regulator, indicator, MCB, fuse, etc.

Some calculate based on the number of wires connected.

Some charge extra for MCBs or treat sockets as half points.

This creates confusion for customers — and that’s why we want to make it transparent.

🛠️ The Reality Behind Electrical Point Charges

As a master electrician with 10+ years of experience in Murshidabad, I want my customers to understand that not all electricians charge unfairly. In fact, many professionals are forced to adjust their pricing methods due to customer bargaining.

Let’s take an example:

A professional may charge Rs. 150 per point for standard-quality work.

Some customers bargain and expect the same work at Rs. 80, comparing it with apprentices or trainees.

Learners or beginners may agree to do the job for less, as they are building experience.

But skilled electricians cannot afford to do high-quality work at extremely low rates.

📊 How Are Electrical Charges Actually Calculated?

Charges for electrical work depend on:

✅ Who is doing the job — Experienced or inexperienced electrician

✅ How much time is spent on the project

✅ Type and complexity of work

✅ Materials and safety standards used

Most electrical work is done on a contract basis, and per-point pricing is just a way to estimate the total cost.
