Hi, I posted a thread requesting help about quotes here! Please help!

Thread Link

I am waiting for my contractor to give me a quote...

But I just wanna check out a few things from you expereinced fellas...

The house is a resale and nicely wired up. I just need to change the lights, and the type of sockets\switch(frm old fashion small ones, to big ones)...

So no need re-wiring, with a few extension..

How much will it cost? $1K?

Hmm.. I think a comprehensive rewiring can be had just a tad over $2000. A more modest requirement would come under $2000 so try not to pay too much.

I am quite satisfied with my electrician that handled my renovation. Anyone who wants his contact can PM me.

Nothing more affordable like below $1k?

Hi, I got a quotation for $40 for a new power point by pulling an existing one from the corner of a room. Is this a fair quotation?

It is for trunking. I had wanted to conceal it but was suggested against it by the electrician as he said the drilling creates fine dust which make the room dirty. I asked him what if I use newspaper to cover the part of the room for which the drilling is going to take place, he said that won't help much.

Hi, my electrician quoted me the following. Can I still bargain?

13 Amp Double = $60

15 Amp = $90

Water heater = $90

SCV = $110

Telephone = $50

Board = $350

Is the below reasonable?

Lighting point and install x 16 @ 40 = 640

To install and conceal 2-gang power point x 1 @ 80 = 80

To replace existing 1-gang power point to 2-gang x 3 @ 30 = 90

Total : 810

After discount of $10: $800

ur SCV point is a little exp - ours was $100, n already one of the most ex we haf seen around

I have the impression that usually, we have to get the boxes & face plates ourselves, and the prices quoted by electricians do not include the boxes & face plates. Is this true? If the prices quoted are inclusive of these items, would it make it more reasonable?
