Service-area note: This article provides information for Antalya province. Ustam Sensin performs project work only in Manavgat and Side.
Whether you have just moved into a new apartment in Antalya or own a holiday villa along the coast, electrical work is one area where cutting corners is never an option. Faulty wiring, outdated panels, and amateur installations can lead to fires, shocks, and costly damage. That is why finding a qualified Antalya electrician matters more than almost any other home-service decision you will make.
The Challenge
Navigating the electrical trade in Turkey can be confusing for expats and foreign property owners. Licensing requirements, local building codes, and even the voltage standard (220V, 50Hz) may differ from what you are used to back home. Language barriers add another layer of difficulty: explaining the difference between a circuit breaker trip and a ground-fault issue is hard enough in your native language.
Many newcomers rely on word of mouth or random online searches, only to end up with an unlicensed handyman who leaves junction boxes open and cables exposed. The risks range from voided insurance policies to genuine safety hazards. What you need is a vetted, experienced professional who understands both Turkish regulations and your expectations as an international resident.
Our Services
A professional electrician from Ustam Sensin can handle a wide spectrum of work:
- New installations: complete wiring for new builds, extensions, and converted commercial spaces.
- Panel upgrades: replacing old fuse boxes with modern MCB/RCD panels that meet current Turkish Electrical Regulations (TEDAS standards).
- Fault finding and repair: tracking down intermittent trips, flickering lights, and unexplained outages using professional test equipment.
- Smart-home wiring: structured cabling for home automation, multi-room audio, motorised blinds, and EV charger pre-wiring.
- Outdoor and garden lighting: IP-rated installations for terraces, pools, and landscape lighting.
- Safety inspections: periodic checks recommended for older apartments (especially pre-2000 builds) and properties purchased on the secondary market.
All electricians Ustam Sensin works with carry valid qualifications and are experienced with the specific challenges of Antalya properties, including high humidity near the coast and the temperature extremes that can stress wiring insulation over time. Ustam Sensin carries out work only in Manavgat and Side.

FAQ
Do I need a permit for electrical work in my Antalya apartment?
Minor repairs and like-for-like replacements generally do not require a permit. However, new installations, panel upgrades, and any work that changes the electrical layout of the property may need approval from the local municipality or your building management (site yonetimi). A qualified electrician will advise you on what is needed.
How much does an electrician cost in Antalya?
Rates vary depending on the complexity of the job. A simple outlet or switch replacement might start from a modest fixed fee, while a full apartment rewire is quoted on a per-square-metre or project basis. Always request an itemised quote before work begins and clarify whether materials are included.
Can I request an English-speaking electrician?
Yes. You can note your language preference when you contact us by phone or WhatsApp on 0505 355 48 07 or by email at info@ustamsensin.com. Ustam Sensin is not a craftsman referral service: it takes on the job, selects the craftspeople itself, plans and supervises the work, and is responsible for the result, so it will assign an electrician who can communicate in English or assist with translation where needed.
