The demand for plumbers and electricians is record-breaking this year, and its dynamics is still growing – according to Oferteo data prepared for “Rzeczpospolita”, which publishes it in its Friday edition.

“The need for the services of electricians and plumbers is constantly growing”
According to the author of the text, there are many indications that it will exceed 22,000 by the end of the year. (a year earlier it was 20.6 thousand). “The demand for electricians has already reached the level of the entire 2023, so – as experts say – the barrier of 18,000 inquiries for offers will be broken (in 2023 it was 12.7 thousand)” – we read. In the years 2021–2023, the number of inquiries regarding the services of plumbers and electricians on the platform remained at one, quite low level.
In some cases you have to wait over a month to see a specialist.
Marta Kaleta-Domaradzka from Oferteo, quoted by “Rz”, sees the source of the increase in interest in a greater number of investments, renovations of installations and growing ecological awareness, which encourages the implementation of more effective solutions.
Due to the rapidly increasing number of new residential, office and commercial buildings, the need for the services of electricians and plumbers is constantly growing. Until June this year. 562 investments were commissioned in Poland, “which shows that the scale of needs is large.” In turn, older buildings require renovation, modernization and replacement of electrical and plumbing installations, “which causes an increased demand for these specialists” because “their knowledge and experience cannot be acquired by watching instructional videos available online,” the newspaper adds.
