Do you offer emergency and 24×7 electricians?

Yes. Power failures, short circuits and sparking don't keep office hours. Zaruri Hai dispatches emergency electricians fast — in most Kolkata areas within 1–2 hours — so you're not left in the dark.

How long does electrical work take?

Most repairs — a switch, socket, fan or light — are done in 30 to 60 minutes. MCB and switchboard fixes are usually same-visit. Full wiring or rewiring is quoted with a clear timeline after inspection.

Common electrical problems we fix — and what causes them

Quick diagnosis of what you're seeing:

• No power / MCB keeps tripping — overloaded circuit, short circuit or a faulty MCB. We trace the exact fault, not just reset it.
• Sparking from a switch or socket — loose or burnt wiring; a real fire risk. We replace the point safely.
• Fan dead or running slow — usually a failed capacitor (we carry capacitors for all brands), or a regulator or wiring fault. Often fixed in the same visit.
• Flickering or dimming lights — loose connections or voltage drops. We tighten, test and stabilise.
• Bulbs or LEDs fusing often — a wiring fault or voltage fluctuation behind the fitting, not just a bad bulb.
• Mild shocks from taps, walls or appliances — an earthing fault; must be fixed at once. We do proper earth-pit work.
• Burning smell from a board — overheating from overload. Cut the main supply and call us — this is an emergency.

Switch, socket & switchboard work

Repair or replace faulty switches and sockets, add new points, and install or rebuild switchboards. We fit modular, branded switches and check the wiring behind the board so the fix lasts and stays safe.

Light & fitting installation

LED panels, tube lights, decorative lights, holders and chandeliers — fitted with secure wiring and correct load. We also fix flickering lights and frequent fusing by treating the wiring cause, not just swapping the bulb.

Signs your home needs rewiring

Don't ignore these — they point to ageing, unsafe wiring:

• frequent MCB tripping or blown fuses
• warm or discoloured switches and sockets
• lights flickering across rooms
• mild shocks from switches or appliances
• old aluminium wiring or 2-pin sockets
• wiring older than 20–25 years

Any of these? Book an inspection before it becomes a fire risk.

MCB, fuse, DB & earthing

Frequent tripping, blown fuses and an overloaded distribution board are warning signs, not minor annoyances. We diagnose load and short-circuit faults, replace MCBs and fuses correctly, and install proper earthing to stop shocks.

Inverter & battery work

Inverter and battery installation, wiring and repair — correct sizing, safe connection and backup that actually holds during Kolkata's power cuts. We also fix inverters that won't charge or switch over.

Appliance electrical connections

Geyser points, AC switch boxes, chimney connections, heavy-duty 15A and 3-phase switches — wired safely for the right load. Getting an appliance's electrical point right protects both the appliance and your wiring.

How to prevent electrical faults at home

A few habits cut breakdowns and bills:

• don't overload one socket with several high-power appliances
• switch off and unplug appliances not in use
• use only ISI-marked wires, switches and extension boards
• fix loose or sparking points early, not later
• check earthing and service your inverter once a year

Small fixes now prevent costly, dangerous faults later.

How much does an electrician cost in Kolkata?

You see the price upfront — a small visiting charge that's adjusted into the final bill when you proceed, then a clear estimate after inspection. Materials and spare parts are billed separately (or you can supply them).

*Material cost is extra. Your exact, live price shows in the app before you confirm.

Do I pay an advance to book?

No advance. You pay after the work is finished, and the visiting charge is adjusted into the bill once you go ahead with the repair.

Will I get a quote before work starts?

Yes. After inspecting the fault, the electrician gives you a clear, itemised estimate — labour plus any materials — and work begins only once you approve it. No surprises beyond the visiting charge.

Are your electricians verified and licensed?

Yes. Every electrician is background-verified and experienced in residential and commercial work. Electrical faults carry real fire and shock risk, so the job goes to a trained professional — never a guess-and-hope handyman.

What materials do you use?

Only ISI-marked wire and branded fittings (such as Havells, Anchor, Legrand and Goldmedal) for repairs and wiring. Quality materials are the difference between a fix that lasts and a repeat fault — and a safety hazard.

Is there a warranty on the work?

Yes. Workmanship comes with a 30-day service warranty — if the same issue recurs within the window, we revisit and fix it free. Spare parts carry their own brand warranty.

Do you handle homes, shops and offices?

All of them. We cover residential, shop and office electrical work — single repairs, new fit-outs, multiple points, and AMC-style upkeep for businesses that can't afford downtime.

Which areas of Kolkata do you cover?

We send electricians across the city and suburbs — New Town, Rajarhat, Salt Lake (Bidhannagar), Lake Town, Baguiati, VIP Road, Dum Dum, Shyambazar, Park Street, Ballygunge, Gariahat, Kasba, Behala, Tollygunge, Jadavpur, Garia and the entire EM Bypass corridor.
