Circuit Breaker / DB Services
House Rewiring in Singapore
Full rewiring is quoted after a site survey at SG QuickFix. HDB advises replacing a flat's wiring when its lifespan is over or it is worn out, and estimates that PVC cable lasts about 25 years. Frequent trips, warm sockets, discoloured cables and an old fuse board are warning signs. Rewiring a home usually takes several days.

Task guide
When this may be needed
- The flat's wiring is more than 25 years old.
- Power trips are frequent and come from several circuits.
- Sockets and switches feel warm or are discoloured.
- The home still has a fuse-type board.
- A major renovation is opening walls and ceilings anyway.
What the team does
The survey records the circuits, the existing wiring's condition, the distribution board and your plans, such as extra sockets or a new kitchen layout. You receive a written quote covering the new circuits, the board, the cable routes and the making-good. The work is scheduled room by room, old cables are replaced in trunking or concealed where agreed, and a new board is fitted. After new wiring is installed, the licensed electrical worker applies to SP Group for inspection and testing.

The price depends on the size of the home, the number of circuits and points, whether wiring is concealed or in trunking, and how much making-good is needed.
