Large price differences: electromonte and technician in the Perg district!

The price differences in the area of ​​electromonte and service technicians in Upper Austria remain a central topic. The Chamber of Labor (AK) Upper Austria carried out a comprehensive survey on the hourly rates and travel expenses in 105 companies in May 2025. This survey also affected eight companies in the district of Perg. The evaluation has revealed significant price ranges.

In the district of Perg, the hourly rates for electromontists vary between 82 and 97 euros per hour. Service technicians, on the other hand, require between 82 and 132 euros. These differences can not only be observed in labor costs, but also in the travel expenses: Consumers have to plan between 20.50 and 51 euros for an arrival of ten kilometers. In the nationwide comparison, increased travel expenses of up to 12 percent within one year also show what has additional financial impact on households.

binding cost estimates are important

The AK advises consumers to obtain several cost estimates in front of larger orders that should contain a detailed cost breakdown. A cost estimate is binding unless something else has been agreed - such as a "non -binding cost estimate". The binding cost estimate must not be exceeded; Savings due to less used material or lower workload must benefit consumers. However, a non -binding cost estimate can be exceeded by 10 to 15 percent if this is inevitable.

In the event of larger exceeding the cost estimates, the entrepreneur is obliged to hire the work and inform the customer about the additional costs. Customers then have the option of approving the continuation of the work or putting the work on ice. In the latter case, you only have to pay the services provided up to this point. It is also important to know that if the entrepreneur does not indicate significant cost overruns, he loses the right to these additional costs.

Current price trends

In addition to the general price increase, AK Upper Austria has determined that the district funds of the hourly rates have risen on average by 5 percent. As part of this survey, it was found that the average travel costs for a distance of 10 kilometers are around 35.22 euros. However, the highest determined travel costs in the reporting period were significantly above with 90.54 euros. This information illustrates the need to plan well for craft services in advance and to find out about various offers in order to avoid financial surprises.
