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 repairs in the canton of Solothurn

The canton of Solothurn stretches from the foot of the Jura to the Olten area and the Schwarzbubenland. In Solothurn, the baroque old town has old houses where installations have been modernised in stages, with faults often concentrated on an old distribution board. In Olten and Grenchen, apartment buildings and converted former industrial sites call for repairs to common areas, cellars or workshops. In the Jura valleys, around Balsthal, farms and village houses are exposed to storms and line outages. Towards Dornach, close to Basel, recent villas mainly experience faults with heat pumps or solar panels.

  • If you live in a house in Solothurn's old town, say whether the walls or ceilings are protected, in order to limit chasing.
  • After an outage in a valley of the Solothurn Jura, check whether your neighbours are also without power before calling.

Frequently asked questions

What should I tell the emergency electrician in Solothurn?

Describe exactly what happened, for example a power cut in one room, a burning smell or a breaker that trips. Say whether the problem affects the whole home or a single circuit. Do not touch damaged sockets or cables until the electrician has checked the installation.

What should I do if an electrical fault seems dangerous?

Do not touch damaged sockets, exposed wiring or wet electrical equipment, and do not repeatedly reset a tripping device. Keep others away. Smoke, a burning smell or immediate danger needs urgent assistance; describe what you can observe safely rather than attempting repairs yourself.

What should I compare in emergency electrician quotes?

Distinguish fault finding from replacement work and any later upgrade. Ask what testing follows the repair and which circuits or fittings are included. Agree the intervention directly with the electrician after describing the symptoms, without relying on an assumed response time.

How should I prepare for the emergency electrician visit or work?

Arrange safe access to the affected rooms and provide available electrical documents. Tell the electrician about essential equipment or a shared building supply. Keep the area clear, but leave distribution boards, socket covers and damaged cables untouched for the professional assessment.
