Hi, can anyone recommend me other electricians contacts? Urgently need one to start work next week! Contacted Ah Keong but fly kites many times never call back and never turn up to quote. William also takes 2 days but still have not come up with a quote. So far only got a quote from a Thomas that was recommended somewhere here in this forum but did not see other reviews, I don't dare to confirm. Any other good contacts, appreciated thanks!

Hi there,

Can anyone advice on how ID charge by lighting point?

I have been charge by total numbers of downlights and T5 Led lights for lighting point.

Is this standard practice for ID to charge that way?

Other the charging me the lighting point, ID also charge me installation of per downlights and T5 Led lights. :(

Was quoted by ID ,$1352 for supply Labour & material for 26 lighting points and installations.

Current bto have the light switchs and power points.

Price reasonable?

Will get keys in few weeks time.

I was quoted $1400 for three lengths of Cat6 cable from living room to three bedrooms. PVC surface trunking, with a few minor drilling and run cable above false ceiling. Is this expensive? Or I can get it cheaper asking for alternative supply?

Singtel contractor.
