Electrician in Singapore

Prices depend on the job, so each electrical service lists its own. At SG QuickFix replacing a simple light starts from $60, a standard 13A socket from $70 and a ceiling fan from $90. Finding the cause of a power trip starts from $80. Distribution board work costs more: an RCCB replacement starts from $180 and a full board replacement from $450. Your exact price is agreed before work starts.

Switch off and unplug the appliances on the affected circuit, then reset the tripped breaker once. Turn appliances back on one at a time; if one trips it again, stop using it. If the breaker trips straight away with everything unplugged, leave it off and book a fault check. Don't tape or hold a breaker on. If your whole block or street is dark, the problem is in the supply, which SP Group handles on its 24-hour fault line.

No. Corridor, staircase and lift-lobby lights and other common-area electrics in HDB estates belong to the town council, so report them to your town council. Wiring, sockets, switches, lights and the distribution board inside your flat are the owner's to maintain and repair.

Yes, and it usually costs less per item. An extra socket in the same visit starts from $45, an extra switch from $45 and an extra light from $40. List everything in one WhatsApp message, with a photo of each point, so the whole visit is priced together before we arrive.

The prices are for the work. You can buy your own lights, fans or smart switches and have them installed; send the model so we can check it suits the point. Parts that wear out, such as fan capacitors, remotes and LED drivers, show "+ part" or "+ driver" on their cards and are charged on top once you agree the price.

A photo of the socket, switch, light or fan, and a wider shot of where it is. For trips and faults, a photo of the distribution board with the breaker labels helps, along with when the trip happens. Say whether there is already a point where you want something new, and whether the ceiling is concrete or a false ceiling.

Concealed wiring faults, new concealed points and full rewiring can't be priced from a photo. They are quoted after the electrician has inspected the wiring on site, and you decide whether to go ahead. Simple jobs on an existing point keep their listed starting prices.
