Task guide
When this may be needed
- The switch is loose in the wall.
- The switch rocker is stiff, cracked or doesn't click.
- The plate has yellowed and you want a matching set.
- One gang on a multi-gang plate has failed.
- You are refreshing switches throughout a flat.
What the team does
The technician isolates the circuit, removes the old switch and checks the connections. The new switch is connected so it breaks the live wire, which leaves the light fitting dead when switched off, and fixed level to the box. Multi-gang plates are wired gang by gang to control the same lights as before. Each switch is tested.

FAQs
Changing a switch means working on live wiring. Singapore's regulations require electrical installation work to be done by a licensed electrical worker, and a wrongly wired switch can leave the light fitting live when switched off.
Usually, if the new switches fit the existing wall boxes. Check the plate size and number of gangs.
About 20 to 30 minutes for a standard switch, and 10 to 20 minutes for each additional one.
At SG QuickFix, from $70 for the first switch and from $45 for each additional switch in the same visit.
