Electrical work cost??

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I have an urgent query and hope you can help me.

If I want to change the DB box for my resale HDB flat, should I rewire the whole house at the same time? Or can I just simply change the DB box without any rewiring?

What's the correct way to go about doing it?

Please advise.

Thank you!! :D

Hi, I have the same question as mercey actually. Appreciate replies.

Btw, here's what my ID quoted me. Waiting to meet up tomorrow because I think some items are overpriced.

a. light/ceiling fan points – 2 nos. @ $50 = 100

b. 13A twin SSO – 3 nos. @ $60 = 180

c. heater switch for hood / hob – 2 nos. @ $60 = 120

d. heater pt – 2 nos. @ $100 = 200

e. SCV point – 1 no. @ $120 = 120

f. remove and install only new light fittings (exclude chandeliers) – 12 nos @ $15 = 180

I have not even included telephone points and extra single/ double points or change the switches in the quotation. So not sure how much is the additional charges.

I just want to change the cover for the power sockets as they look old and wld look odd with the new kitchen cabinets.

But the quote I was given sounds so exp -

$60 for single power socket/ $80 for double.

Why so exp when all I need is to change the exterior? Was told they got to do re-wiring even when change cover only..

Is it true? Can I get better rates than quoted?

Thanks!

Can I know what does it mean by Shifting SCT TV Point? I thought we are not supposed to temper with the SCV Point - there's this sticker on the cable point?

Pls enlighten.. thanks...
