Your Local Electrician in Copenhagen – Private and Business
Københavns Elektriker is not itself authorized. All work requiring authorization is carried out by an authorized electrical contractor (subcontractor).
Are you looking for a reliable electrician in Copenhagen? We help arrange electrical work for both private homeowners and businesses throughout the city – from Indre By and Frederiksberg to Østerbro, Nørrebro and Amager. We coordinate everything from minor repairs to complete electrical installations, always in accordance with Danish electrical regulations and safety standards.
We can help arrange assistance with installation of new circuits, fuse box upgrades, fault finding, mounting of light fixtures, installation of EV chargers and general electrical maintenance. We work with both residential properties and commercial premises and adapt our service to the specific needs of each customer.
We are based in Frederiksberg and cover all of Copenhagen and the surrounding area. Whether you live in a classic apartment building from the early 1900s or a modern property, we have the experience and tools to do the job correctly the first time. The authorized electrical contractor (our subcontractor) arrives on time, works cleanly and always documents the work with an installation certificate so you are covered by your insurance.

We'll arrange for an authorized electrician subcontractor
Electrical problems don’t always happen during business hours. Whether you’re dealing with a sudden power outage, a tripped circuit breaker or a short circuit that needs immediate attention, we can quickly connect you with an authorized electrician – available around the clock, including weekends and public holidays, through our emergency electrician service.
Many of Copenhagen’s older buildings still have ageing electrical installations that can cause unexpected problems. If you notice flickering lights, warm outlets, frequently tripping breakers or a burning smell near your fuse box, these are warning signs that should be addressed immediately. Ignoring them can lead to serious safety risks, including electrical fires – so we’ll arrange for an authorized electrician to take a look as soon as possible.
We can also arrange circuit breaker replacement and electrical inspections for property purchases and sales. An electrical inspection gives you a clear picture of the condition of the installation and whether the property meets current Danish safety requirements – something both buyers and sellers benefit from knowing.
All authorization-required work is carried out by an authorized electrical contractor (our subcontractor), so the job is completed to a high professional standard and in accordance with the applicable rules. Copenhagen is home to a large international community, and we’re experienced in helping customers who are not native Danish speakers. We communicate clearly, explain what needs to be done and always ensure you get transparent pricing before any work begins.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
We handle all common electrical work for private homes, apartments, offices and shops.

We also arrange kitchen and bathroom wiring, outdoor lighting, electric underfloor heating and charging stations for electric cars. For businesses, we arrange complete office cabling, data and network solutions, lighting design and maintenance of technical installations. All authorization-required work is carried out by a fully authorized electrician in Copenhagen (our subcontractor) who follows Danish safety regulations, so your electrical system is both safe today and ready for future needs.
The price for an electrician in Copenhagen depends on the type of job, the time of day and whether it is planned work or an urgent call‑out. For normal weekday visits we use an hourly rate that covers professional tools, advice on site and transport within the Copenhagen area. Smaller tasks, such as installing a light fitting or replacing a few outlets, can often be completed within one to two hours, while larger projects like a full board upgrade or complete rewiring are quoted as a fixed price. Before we start, you always receive a clear estimate describing what is included, so there are no surprises on the invoice. In many cases we can also suggest money‑saving options without compromising electrical safety.
Yes. Under Danish law most fixed electrical installations must be performed by a licensed electrician, even if the job seems small. You are allowed to change light bulbs and move plug‑in equipment, but as soon as work involves fixed wiring, fuse boards, new outlets, bathroom or outdoor installations, a certified electrical contractor must do the work. Using a professional electrician in Copenhagen ensures that cables, earthing and protection devices are correctly dimensioned and installed. This reduces the risk of electric shock and fire and helps you avoid problems with your insurance company if a damage occurs. If you are unsure whether a task is legal as DIY, you can contact us for quick guidance before you start.
An emergency electrician service is offered in Copenhagen for situations where help is needed immediately. Typical emergency issues are complete loss of power, repeated tripping of the main safety switch, visible sparks, a burning smell from a socket or water damage affecting the electrical system. When you call, the situation is first assessed over the phone and advice is given on how to stay safe. An authorized electrician in Copenhagen is then arranged as quickly as possible to locate the fault, make the installation safe and, where possible, restore power the same day. After the emergency repair, a proposal for any permanent improvements can be received. All authorization-required work is carried out by an authorized subcontractor.
Yes, customers are helped across all districts of Copenhagen and the surrounding areas. Customers in Copenhagen K, V, N, Ø, NV, Amager, Frederiksberg and neighbouring municipalities are regularly connected with an authorized subcontractor. Based locally, the typical building types and older installations found in Copenhagen apartments and houses are well known, which helps make fault finding and upgrades more efficient. When you contact, only an address and a short description of the job are needed, and available time slots will be suggested. Whether you live in a small city apartment, a townhouse or run a larger office, an authorized electrician can be arranged to plan a solution that fits both your schedule and your budget.
Quality and electrical safety are top priorities. All authorization-required work is carried out by a trained, authorized electrician (our subcontractor) who follows current Danish wiring regulations and manufacturer guidelines. Before a project starts, we discuss your needs and explain the proposed solution in plain English, so you know exactly what will be done. During the job, approved materials are used and installations are tested with professional measuring instruments. At the end, safety checks are performed, the board is labelled correctly and it is explained how everything works. For larger projects, the authorized electrician can also provide documentation that may be relevant for insurance or future renovations. If you ever experience a problem after the work is finished, you are always welcome to contact us so it can be put right.
