Your project in the canton of Solothurn
The canton of Solothurn extends along the foot of the Jura and the Aare. The town of Solothurn, with its churches and Baroque houses, has an old town where getting around by vehicle is difficult. Olten, a railway hub, and Grenchen, shaped by watchmaking, have rental blocks and districts of family homes. Zuchwil and Biberist form a more residential suburban area, while Balsthal opens onto the Thal valley and its farms. In the north, Dornach lies within Basel's orbit. The canton is German-speaking, but your request can still be written in English. In the old town or for a change to a façade, it is essential to check with your municipality. Give the municipality, postcode and delivery access restrictions, especially if the building is in an old town.
- In Solothurn's old town, say whether access is via a pedestrian street or a courtyard.
- For a family home in Grenchen or Olten, give the year of construction and any work already carried out.
- For a farmhouse in the Thal, describe access to the building and the parts to be renovated.
Electrical work in the canton of Solothurn
The canton of Solothurn stretches along the Aare and the foot of the Jura. Solothurn's Baroque old town has manor houses and old buildings where electricity was added long after construction. In Olten, a railway hub, apartment blocks and offices need modernised distribution boards and common lighting, in liaison with the property management company. In the Thal and the Schwarzbubenland, farms and village houses are turning to heat pumps and solar power. Villas in the outlying districts are being fitted with charging stations. Swiss electrical installations are checked periodically, and when a building passes to a new owner, a safety report may be required. Entrust every job to an authorised electrician.
- In a Solothurn manor house, ask for a survey of existing circuits before deciding what can be kept.
- For an office building in Olten, specify the workstations and the IT network to be supplied.

Frequently asked questions
What should I prepare for an electrical upgrade in Solothurn?
List the rooms concerned, the new sockets, lighting points and appliances you plan to connect. Mention the age of the installation and any problems you have noticed. The electrician will inspect the distribution board and suggest the necessary work.
How should new sockets or appliances be included in an electrical request?
List the equipment and its intended location, including larger appliances and any dedicated needs. Available installation documents help the electrician assess the existing circuits. Ask which checks and alterations are necessary; the number of new sockets alone does not define the complete work.
What should I compare in electrician quotes?
Compare circuits, distribution work, sockets, lighting and final checks against the same plan. Clarify making good walls and any coordination with other trades. Ask what installation documentation and testing are included and who will explain new controls at handover.
How should I prepare for the electrician visit or work?
Prepare a room-by-room list and plans or photographs showing desired fitting positions. Keep electrical documentation ready and state any essential equipment that must remain in use. Leave opening panels, chasing around services and electrical disconnection to the responsible professionals.
