Hello everyone,

In a few months it will start. Since my husband is a trained electrician, he is doing all the electrical work himself. Now we are looking for an affordable store or online shop where we can buy our materials. Can you recommend something? We've already checked various hardware stores and browsed online a bit, but maybe you know something!!

Thank you very much for your feedback

Hello,

I am an electrician master myself, and I can simply advise against the hardware store.

1. Since your husband is an electrician, can't he buy through the company or something?
2. Make sure you get the stuff from a German wholesaler, only they have top quality goods.

For example, every hardware store like Obi, Praktiker,... sells energy-saving lamps. I can say with certainty that currently no hardware store sells top quality goods, but takes B-grade goods from Osram, Philips, etc.
The B-grade goods have increased manufacturing tolerances. Nobody knows this :-)
For other things, it is largely the same as well.

I also didn't have such a good experience with websites, they are okay but there's nothing better than a proper German wholesaler.

Regards
