Light Switch Repair & Replacement
Smart Switch Installation in Singapore
Smart switch installation starts from $100 at SG QuickFix. Wi-Fi, Zigbee and other smart switches are fitted in place of standard switches after checking the wiring: many smart switches need a neutral wire in the switch box, which many HDB flats don't have there. The switch is then paired with its app and tested. Most take 30 to 60 minutes.

Task guide
When this may be needed
- You want to control lights by phone or voice assistant.
- A smart switch you bought won't fit your wiring.
- A smart switch makes LED lights flicker or glow when off.
- You want lights on a schedule.
- A smart switch has stopped responding.
What the team does
The technician opens the switch box with the circuit isolated and checks whether a neutral wire is present. If not, a no-neutral smart switch is needed, which may require a small capacitor at the light to stop LEDs flickering. The switch is connected, fixed, and paired with its app on your phone with you, and each gang is tested on and off, by hand and from the app.
Included in this price
- Checking the switch box for a neutral wire
- Fitting the smart switch, and a capacitor if needed

Limits & price factors
The smart switch is not included unless agreed. Hubs, home automation setup beyond pairing the switch and running a new neutral wire are not included.
The price starts from $100. Multi-gang switches, no-neutral installations needing a capacitor and two-way smart setups take longer.
FAQs
Many do, but many smart switches need a neutral wire in the switch box, and many flats don't have one there. A no-neutral smart switch, sometimes with a capacitor at the light, solves this.
You can't tell from the faceplate. The switch box has to be opened with the power off, which is done at the start of the visit.
No-neutral smart switches pass a tiny current through the light to power themselves. A capacitor at the light usually stops the glow.
