    The electrical installation is an essential step: electrical outlets, switches, lighting, and powering equipment.

    In a basement, natural light is often limited. Therefore, it is advisable to install more light points to achieve comfortable lighting.

    In the Romandy region of Switzerland, the average price for a complete electrical installation in a basement is around 190 CHF per m², depending on the chosen equipment and the complexity of the installation.
