Electrician in Amsterdam: replacing or extending a consumer unit
Klusbedrijf MSZ is your electrician in Amsterdam for everything to do with the consumer unit (fuse box). We replace an old-style fuse box or an outdated consumer unit with a new consumer unit with RCDs. We also extend your unit with extra circuits or a cooker circuit for induction. The first hour on site costs €181.44 incl. VAT (€149.95 excl. VAT), and each additional hour €108.84 incl. VAT (€89.95 excl. VAT). In Amsterdam there is also one fixed call-out charge of €42.35 incl. VAT (€35 excl. VAT), which we tell you in advance.
Almost nine in ten homes in Amsterdam are flats.
Feel free to send us a photo of your meter cupboard via WhatsApp first. Often we can then already estimate what is needed.

Consumer unit in Amsterdam: when to replace it?
Amsterdam has more than 474,000 homes. 87% are flats, 70% are rented (40% from a housing association) and 80% were built before 2000 (CBS, 2023). Seven in ten Amsterdam homes are rented. Report a repair to your landlord or housing association first, and for a flat in an owners' association (VvE) to the association as well. Many Amsterdam homes were built before 1960. Lead was banned in 1960, but checks in 2021 still found lead in 3,987 of the 87,312 pre-1960 homes of Amsterdam housing associations, mostly in Amsterdam-Noord.
Older Amsterdam homes sometimes still have a fuse box or a consumer unit without residual current devices. If you get an induction hob, an extra circuit is often needed.

An electrician in Amsterdam, near you
From Almere we drive to Amsterdam via the A6 and the A1. We work in every district, from Centrum and West to Noord and Zuidoost. When we can be with you depends on how busy we are. We tell you honestly as soon as you call.
If your meter cupboard still has an old fuse box or a consumer unit without residual current devices, we are happy to check whether it needs replacing. Do you rent your home, for example from a housing association? Then contact your landlord first. If you are allowed to call in a tradesperson yourself, we are happy to help.

In Amsterdam you pay one fixed call-out charge of €42.35 incl. VAT (€35 excl. VAT) per visit. We tell you the amount before we set off, so you never see it only afterwards on the invoice. If you have several small jobs done in one visit, we only charge the call-out charge once.
