Whether you are building a new home in DHA or Bahria Town, renovating an older property in Gulberg or Model Town, or dealing with wiring that has caused one too many trips and flickering lights — electrical wiring is one job where shortcuts become expensive very quickly. GharFix electricians handle complete house wiring in Lahore from layout planning and conduit installation to DB connection and earthing done to LESCO safety standards with transparent per-project pricing.
0301 366 6099
Complete electrical layout for newly built homes from foundation-stage conduit placement through to DB connection, switch fitting, and socket installation. Circuit planning done based on actual load requirements AC points, kitchen appliances, UPS, and general lighting all mapped before a single wire is run.
Earthing system installation for homes without proper grounding common in older Lahore construction where earthing was never done or was done incorrectly. Without proper earthing, a single electrical fault becomes an electrocution risk. GharFix installs earthing to WAPDA-compliant standards as a standalone job or as part of a full wiring project.
Full replacement of old, deteriorated, or undersized wiring in existing homes. Common in older Gulberg, Model Town, Cantt, and DHA Phase 1–3 properties where original wiring is 20 to 30 years old — long past the point where insulation integrity can be assumed. Rewiring costs 20 to 30% more than new construction wiring due to wall access requirements.
Wiring run in surface-mounted PVC trunking along walls and ceilings used when concealed wiring is not possible without major wall damage. Common in older Lahore properties, commercial spaces, and additions to existing buildings where opening walls is not practical.
Wiring run inside walls through PVC conduits invisible after plastering. Standard for all new Lahore constructions and the preferred method for renovations where aesthetics matter. Requires wall chasing and conduit laying before plastering timing with the construction phase is critical for a clean result.
Adding new sockets, AC points, or light points to existing wiring without opening the entire wall. Common when a room is repurposed, an AC is being added, or a home office setup needs dedicated circuit capacity. Quote given per point based on routing distance and access difficulty.
House wiring in Lahore is not just for newly built properties. Most of our wiring jobs fall into one of six situations and if your home fits any of them, a wiring assessment is worth scheduling before the problem makes the decision for you.
New construction is the easiest and most cost-effective time to get wiring done correctly. Conduits are placed before plastering, circuits are planned for actual AC, appliance, and UPS loads from day one, and earthing is installed as part of the job not added later as an afterthought. Getting this right at construction stage eliminates the need for a rewire within 10 years.
Wiring installed in Lahore before 2005 was typically done with lower-grade PVC insulation that has now degraded in most cases. Add LESCO voltage fluctuations over two decades and the insulation condition in many older homes is not something that should be assumed to be fine. Flickering lights, warm sockets, and frequent DB trips are not minor annoyances they are the visible symptoms of insulation failure working its way toward a fault.
A kitchen renovation, an additional room, a rooftop extension all of these add electrical load that original wiring was not designed for. Running a 2-ton AC, an electric oven, and a water pump off wiring that was sized for a much simpler load is one of the most common causes of recurring DB trips in older Lahore homes. New circuits, properly sized for new loads, are the correct fix.
LESCO voltage restoration after outages sends a surge through house wiring. Older wiring with degraded insulation handles this poorly. If your DB trips repeatedly on power restoration, the issue is often not the MCB it is the wiring condition behind it. A wiring inspection determines whether the problem is circuit-specific or requires a broader rewire.
A significant number of Lahore homes particularly older constructions in Gulberg, Model Town, Cantt, and DHA Phase 1 to 3 either have no earthing or have earthing that has corroded and no longer functions. You would not know by looking. A continuity test takes minutes and tells you definitively whether your home is protected or not.
Lahore homes with accessible roof spaces and wall cavities are particularly vulnerable to rodent wiring damage chewed insulation on live wires is a fire hazard that operates silently until it does not. If you have seen rodent activity in your home, a wiring inspection before the next monsoon season is not optional.
House wiring charges in Lahore vary by property size, wiring type, and whether it is new construction or a rewire. GharFix provides a detailed written quote after a site visit no guesswork pricing over the phone.
Labour for new construction wiring in Lahore typically ranges from PKR 50 to 80 per square foot depending on circuit complexity and the number of points. A 1,500 to 2,000 square foot home runs between PKR 75,000 and PKR 160,000 in labour materials (wire, conduit, DB, switches) are quoted separately based on specification. Full quote provided after site visit.
Rewiring an existing Lahore home costs 20 to 30% more than new construction wiring due to wall access, old conduit removal, and plaster repair work required. The older the wiring and the more inaccessible the routes, the higher the access cost. A site inspection is essential before any rewiring estimate is provided.
Standalone earthing installation for a standard Lahore home earth rod, earth wire run to DB, and continuity test is quoted per site based on soil conditions and routing distance. This is one of the most cost-effective electrical safety upgrades a Lahore homeowner can make.
Adding individual socket, light, or AC points to existing wiring is priced per point based on routing distance and access. Straightforward additions in accessible walls are quoted at a fixed per-point rate. Complex routing through finished walls or ceilings is assessed on-site before pricing.
Wiring is not visible after the walls are closed which is exactly why material quality and installation standards matter more here than in almost any other trade. Lahore’s informal market has a well-documented problem with substandard wire, undersized conduit, and earthing that exists on paper only. Here is what GharFix specifies on every wiring job.
Copper wire is the standard for all GharFix house wiring jobs no aluminum wire substitutions. Wire gauge is selected per circuit based on the load it will carry: 1.5mm² for lighting circuits, 2.5mm² for general sockets, 4mm² for AC points, and 6mm² or higher for high-load appliances and sub-mains. Undersized wiring is the leading cause of overheating faults in Lahore homes.
All wiring is run inside PVC conduit not laid directly into the wall, which is a cost-cutting shortcut common in informal Lahore construction. Conduit protects wire insulation from wall moisture, allows future wire replacement without wall-breaking, and is a basic requirement of safe concealed wiring practice.
Distribution boards are sized for actual circuit count with room for future additions. MCBs are selected per circuit load a single MCB protecting three AC circuits is both a safety issue and a recurring DB trip cause. GharFix specifies and installs DB and MCB configurations that match the actual electrical load of your home.
Every GharFix wiring job includes earthing installation and a continuity test before handover. Not a rod pushed into the ground and left a tested, measured earth connection confirmed to be functional. This is the one thing most Lahore wiring jobs skip.

House wiring labour in Lahore ranges from PKR 50 to 80 per square foot for standard new construction. A 1,500 to 2,000 square foot home typically costs PKR 75,000 to PKR 160,000 in labour materials are additional and quoted separately. Rewiring older homes costs 20 to 30% more due to wall access requirements. GharFix provides a full written quote after a site visit.
A standard 3 to 4 marla new construction wiring job takes 3 to 5 days. A 5 to 10 marla home takes 5 to 8 days depending on circuit complexity and number of points. Rewiring jobs in occupied homes take longer due to room-by-room sequencing. Our electrician provides a day-by-day timeline as part of the written quote.
GharFix uses copper wire throughout no aluminum wire substitutions. Wire gauge is matched to circuit load: 1.5mm² for lighting, 2.5mm² for sockets, 4mm² for AC points, and 6mm² for high-load sub-mains. All wiring is run inside PVC conduit not direct-buried into walls. These are not optional upgrades they are the baseline for safe wiring.
Yes, and it is non-negotiable for safety. Earthing provides a safe path for fault current, protecting both occupants and appliances from electrocution and surge damage. A significant number of older Lahore homes have no functioning earthing. GharFix installs and tests earthing on every wiring job and offers standalone earthing installation for homes that were wired without it.
Wiring installed more than 20 years ago in a Lahore home should be professionally inspected especially if it has never been assessed since original installation. Signs that replacement is needed include frequent DB trips, warm or discoloured sockets, flickering lights, a burning smell from switches, and visible insulation cracking on accessible wires. Do not wait for a fault to make the decision.
Yes. Additional sockets, AC points, light points, and sub-circuits can be added to most existing wiring systems without a full rewire as long as the existing wiring is in acceptable condition and has adequate capacity for the additional load. GharFix assesses the existing wiring during the site visit and confirms whether additions are safe before quoting the work.
