Vetted electricians, plumbers and AC technicians in Islamabad, at fixed prices.
[WORKING HOURS]
What is broken?
Tap the one you need. Every job has a price you can see first.
- AC service and repairService, gas, installation and faults — for split and window units.
- ElectricianSwitches, fans, lights, breakers and wiring faults.
- PlumbingLeaks, flush tanks, geysers, blocked drains and motors.
- Something elseSee every job and what it costs.
Not sure what it is called?
Send us a photograph or a short video instead. It is usually quicker than describing it, and it means we bring the right part the first time.
Send a photo for a priceA voice note in Urdu works too, if that is easier than typing.
Not sure which one you need?
Tell us in your own words. We will point you at the right page — and if it is something that could hurt somebody, at what to do first.
- The AC runs but the air is not coldGoes to AC service and repair
- Part of the house has no powerWhat to do now

- Water is dripping from the indoor AC unitWhat to do now
- The breaker keeps trippingGoes to Electrician
- The geyser is not heating the waterGoes to Plumbing
Nothing matched that. See everything we do, or just message us and describe it — a person will read it.
Is it happening right now?
Water on the floor, a socket sparking, a shock off a tap. There are two or three things worth doing before anyone arrives.
How it works
Three steps, and you can stop at any of them.
You message us
Tell us what is wrong on WhatsApp, or call if that is easier. A photo of the fault or a voice note in Urdu helps us send the right person with the right tools.
We confirm the price and the time
We reply with the fixed price for the job and when we can come. Nothing is booked, and nothing is charged, until you say yes.
A verified technician comes, and you pay after
He calls before arriving, comes in a Pechkas uniform with his ID card, does the job, and cleans up after himself. You pay once the work is done.
Why people let us in
Letting a stranger into your home is the hard part. These are the four things we do about it.
The price is agreed before we come
You can see what the common jobs cost on this website. We confirm the price on WhatsApp before the technician leaves for your house, and it does not change once he is standing at your door.
Materials at cost, with the receipt
If we buy parts for you, you pay what the shop charged and we show you the receipt. We add nothing on top, and we do not take a commission from the shop.
You know who is at your door
Every Pechkas technician has had his CNIC checked and his references followed up. He arrives in a Pechkas uniform with an ID card, and we call you before he reaches your gate.
15 days of guarantee, in writing
If the same problem comes back within 15 days, we come back and fix it free. You pay after the work is done — cash, Easypaisa, JazzCash or bank transfer.
What things cost

Pick what you need and send it to us in one message.
Booking for somebody else?Parents, a tenant, a house you are not at — tell us who to call.
We call them to arrange the time, and send you the photos and the receipt. If you are outside Pakistan, read this first.
Materials are extra, charged at cost with the receipt shown to you. We confirm the final price on WhatsApp before anyone comes.
Cannot see your job here? Send a photo instead →The 15-day guarantee
If we fix something and the same problem comes back within 15days, we come back and fix it again for free. You do not pay a second visit charge and you do not have to argue with anyone about it. Send us the same WhatsApp chat, say it has come back, and we will send the technician who did the work.
Do we reach you?
We are working in F-11, E-11 and G-13 right now, and opening in DHA, Bahria Town, F-10 and G-11 next. We would rather say no honestly than take a booking we cannot reach.
What customers say
Our first reviews are coming soon
Pechkas is new. Rather than put made-up quotes on our own website, we are waiting for real customers to tell us how we did. If we have worked at your home, send us a line on WhatsApp and we will put it here with your name.
Things worth knowing
Most of what goes wrong gives you warning first. Here is what we find ourselves telling people over and over.
- Getting your geyser through winterThe checks worth doing in November, what a gas smell near a geyser means, and how to tell a repair from a replacement before you spend the money.
- What to check before the first rainFifteen minutes in September saves a wall in July. The five things worth checking on an Islamabad house before the monsoon arrives properly.
- When to service your AC before summerService it in March, not in June. Why the timing matters, what a proper service includes, and how to tell whether yours actually needs gas.
Landlord, office or guesthouse?
One number for every repair, priority scheduling, and a single invoice at the end of the month instead of a stack of receipts.
Questions people ask first
Do you charge a visit fee?
For the jobs on our price list, no. The price you agree on WhatsApp is the price for the work, and travel is part of it. For jobs marked "Inspection first", the technician has to find the fault before anyone can give an honest price, and we tell you what that inspection costs before he leaves for your house. Nothing is ever charged without you agreeing to it first.
What if the problem comes back?
If the same problem returns within 15 days, we come back and fix it free. No argument, no second visit charge. Send us the same WhatsApp chat and say it has come back. The guarantee covers our work; it does not cover a new fault somewhere else, or a part you asked us to reuse.
Who buys the parts?
Either of us. If you have the parts, the technician fits them. If we buy them, you pay exactly what the shop charged and we show you the receipt. We do not add anything on top of the material price, and we do not take a commission from the shop.
How do I pay?
After the work is done, not before. Cash, Easypaisa, JazzCash or bank transfer, whichever suits you. You pay the price that was agreed on WhatsApp, plus materials at cost if we bought any.
Which areas do you cover?
Right now we work in the sectors listed on our areas page, and we are opening in more. If you are just outside, message us anyway and tell us where you are — if we can reach you, we will say so honestly, and if we cannot yet, we will put you on the list and tell you when we do.
Can I book for my parents’ house while I am away?
Yes, and a lot of our work is exactly this. Send us the address and the number of whoever will be at home. We call them before arriving, we send you the price before starting, and we send you photos of the finished work. You can pay from wherever you are.
Something broken at home?
Send us a message and we will tell you the price and when we can come. No charge for asking.
