Introduction
When you are renovating a home in Yenişehir or fitting out a new office in Pozcu, one of the first questions you will ask is: "How much will the electrics cost?" In Turkey, electrical installations are typically quoted per "point" (nokta) — each socket outlet, light switch, ceiling light fitting, or data point counts as one point.
Understanding per-point pricing helps you compare quotes from different electricians, budget accurately for a renovation, and avoid being overcharged. This guide explains what is included in per-point pricing, what is not, and what the current market rates are in Mersin for 2026.
What Counts as One Electrical Point?
| Point Type | Description | |-----------|-------------| | Socket outlet (priz) | One double or single socket flush-mounted in the wall | | Light switch (şalter) | One single, double, or dimmer switch | | Ceiling light point (aydınlatma noktası) | One ceiling rose or recessed fitting connection | | Data point (RJ45) | One ethernet socket | | TV/satellite point (anten prizi) | One TV coaxial socket | | Telephone point | One telephone socket | | Dedicated circuit (e.g. oven, AC, water heater) | One separate circuit from the consumer unit |
Note: A double socket (ikili priz) is typically counted as one point in Turkish trade practice. An oven circuit with a separate breaker counts as one point for the socket plus a separate charge for the dedicated breaker.
What Is Included in the Per-Point Price?
A standard per-point price in Mersin includes:
- Labour for installation (drilling, chasing, pulling cable, fixing)
- Standard 2.5 mm² NYM cable for socket circuits
- Standard 1.5 mm² NYM cable for lighting circuits
- Standard white Viko, Legrand, or equivalent switch/socket plate
- Conduit (tesisat borusu) if concealed installation
- All fixings and materials for the installation of that point
What Is NOT Included in the Per-Point Price?
- Consumer unit (sigorta kutusu) and circuit breakers — quoted separately
- Cable trays or specialist conduit systems
- Premium socket/switch ranges (Schneider Unica, Legrand Celiane, Jung, Gira)
- Junction box (buat) covers — usually included but check
- Earthing (topraklama) work — sometimes included, sometimes extra
Always ask your electrician for a written breakdown before work begins.

How Many Points Does a Typical Mersin Apartment Need?

Tips for Getting Accurate Quotes in Mersin
- Request an itemised quote — A professional electrician will quote per point, not a vague lump sum.
- Specify material grade — Are you happy with standard Viko, or do you want Schneider Unica? Material cost difference is significant.
- Agree on cable sizes — Sockets should be 2.5 mm², dedicated circuits (oven, air conditioning, water heater) should be 4 mm² or 6 mm².
- Check for RCCB protection — Every circuit should be protected by an RCCB. Make sure this is in the quote.
- Get at least two quotes — Compare both price and specification.
