Power Socket Installation & Repair
20A Power Point Installation in Singapore
A 20A power point is installed from $160 at SG QuickFix, for appliances that need more than a 13A socket, such as some ovens, water heaters and other high-power equipment. It runs on its own circuit from the distribution board. In HDB flats without higher electrical loading, HDB requires a permit for new 15A points for air-conditioners and other higher-capacity appliances, so this is checked first.

Task guide
When this may be needed
- A new oven or appliance needs a 20A connection.
- A high-power appliance keeps tripping a 13A circuit.
- The appliance's manual specifies a dedicated circuit.
- An existing 20A point is in the wrong place after a kitchen change.
- You are fitting equipment in a home workshop.
What the team does
The technician checks the appliance's rating, the distribution board's spare capacity and the cable route from the board to the new point. The new circuit is run in surface trunking, fitted with its own breaker at the board and a 20A switch at the point, and the appliance is connected or the outlet fitted. The circuit is tested before use.
