Electrician prices in Tashkent: a 2026 guide

Common electrical jobs in Tashkent cost between UZS 40,000 and UZS 500,000: replacing a socket or switch is UZS 40,000, replacing a circuit breaker is UZS 50,000, diagnosing a short circuit in one room is UZS 250,000, and installing a complex chandelier weighing up to 10 kg is UZS 500,000. The daytime minimum order is UZS 150,000. Prices were checked on 24 August 2026.

How much does an electrician cost in Tashkent?

The total is based on defined jobs and quantities. Replacing an existing socket and creating a new point are different services. A replacement uses the existing position and connection; a new point requires preparation and a new connection. Replacement therefore costs UZS 40,000, while a new point costs UZS 80,000 before materials.

Sockets, switches, cable, circuit breakers, RCDs, trunking and light fittings are paid for separately. Before buying anything, ask the electrician to specify the type, rating and quantity. Electrical protection must match the wiring and expected load; choosing a higher rating simply because it appears more powerful can leave a cable without adequate protection.

Daytime prices for common electrical jobs

These are daytime labour prices. A separate night price list applies from 20:00 to 08:00, with a night minimum order of UZS 200,000. There is no separate weekend surcharge or multiplier that an electrician can set independently. The applicable amount must be visible before the checklist is approved.

How the minimum order is calculated

The minimum is not a separate call-out charge. Even if one socket replacement is UZS 40,000, the daytime total is UZS 150,000: the system shows the selected job and the difference up to the minimum separately. Four replacements at UZS 40,000 each total UZS 160,000, so no minimum-order adjustment is added.

Check the quantity of every line. Four sockets are four identical jobs, not one. Cable installation and wall chasing are measured by the metre. Different operations should not be bundled into a single verbal amount; each job and material must be understandable before work begins.

When you need diagnostics instead of replacement

If a socket is dead, the fault is not necessarily in the socket. A loose connection, damaged cable, faulty breaker or short circuit elsewhere on the line can produce the same symptom. Replacing the visible mechanism does not solve a hidden fault. Finding and repairing a short circuit in one room is therefore a separate UZS 250,000 service.

A breaker that trips again is signalling a fault, not asking to be reset repeatedly. The smell of burnt insulation, sparks, crackling or a hot socket or panel means the circuit should no longer be used. If power can be isolated safely, switch off the relevant breaker or main supply and do not touch damaged components.

What to verify before work begins

Check five points before approving the checklist:

1. The exact operation is listed: replacement, new point, diagnostics or line installation.
2. The number of sockets, switches, breakers and metres of cable matches the task.
3. Materials are separate and their ratings have been agreed.
4. The circuit is isolated and the electrician verifies absence of voltage with a suitable tester.
5. The result is tested: the socket carries load, lighting does not flicker and protection does not trip again.

Do not open the panel or test exposed conductors yourself. General precautions are on the safety page, and the masters page explains how service professionals are checked.

How to agree the final total

After inspection, the electrician prepares the final checklist. If another task is found — for example, a damaged cable section must be replaced together with the socket — it is added as a separate line and performed only after the customer approves it. Verbal consent without a clear checklist item is not enough.

After completion, the customer checks the result and pays the master directly in cash or by card transfer. Answers about payment, cancellation and orders are available in the frequently asked questions. To request a professional, download the UBASE app.

Summary

The daytime minimum of UZS 150,000 applies even when one small electrical job costs less. For a complex fault, precise diagnostics comes first and the discovered repairs are agreed afterwards. Separate lines, correct quantities, materials agreed in advance and a final functional test are the clearest signs of a transparent calculation.
