samanthalee 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2017 Is it common for electrician to collect 50% deposit for electrical work? Electrical work can be quite costly, so 50% seems alot too... wat if they run away without doing the work? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LuckyKhoon 5 Report post Posted April 29, 2017 The electrician probably just needed to ensure they do not lose money on materials (wires, switches etc) which are very costly these days. I wont be surprised if the materials cost around 30-50% on their own. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
