Electrical fault-finding and repair costs in Kenya

Electrical faults are priced by what it takes to find them, not by the part that finally gets replaced. A loose bond and a failed cable can present identically at the board; the difference is hours of testing. The bands below carry the time estimate for that reason.

Every figure below is already published on our electrical maintenance page. We put it here so it can be found by the question you actually asked.

Electrical fault-finding and repair costs in Kenya — indicative ranges in Kenyan shillings
ItemPrice rangeTypical use
Missing earth continuityCommon choiceKES 2,000 – 20,0001–4 hours · critical
Earth fault — insulation breakdownKES 5,000 – 50,0002–8 hours
Bonding missing or inadequateKES 5,000 – 30,0002–6 hours
High earth resistanceKES 15,000 – 80,0004–16 hours
Earth fault loop impedance highKES 10,000 – 100,0004–24 hours
Maintenance plan — small premisesKES 2,500 / monthScheduled inspection
Maintenance plan — commercialKES 4,500 / monthScheduled inspection and testing
Maintenance plan — industrialKES 15,000 / monthFull schedule with reporting

What moves the price

  • How long the fault takes to locate. Loop impedance and insulation testing across a large installation is measured in hours, and that is most of the cost on the wider bands.
  • Whether the installation can be shut down. Live-working restrictions and out-of-hours access both extend the job.
  • Age and documentation of the installation. An undocumented board has to be traced circuit by circuit before anything can be corrected.
  • What the test reveals. A single loose termination is an hour; a degraded submain is a replacement.
  • Access — ceiling voids, risers and plant rooms all add time before any testing starts.

What the figure excludes

  • Replacement cable, boards, breakers and accessories, quoted once the fault is identified
  • Builder’s work, chasing and making good
  • Utility-side work and anything beyond the point of supply
  • Figures are ex-VAT unless stated. Kenyan VAT is 16%, so a KES 600,000 quotation is KES 696,000 payable.

A range is honest but it is not a quotation. Tell us the load and the location and you get a specific number, from an engineer, not a call centre.
