teddy19 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2010 Hi Umaisarah, Please kindly let me have your Electrician contact no for Quote B. Thank you. Ouch! Zippy - not sure how much you can bargain with the ID and the electrician on the total cost, but just to help you compare, here I give you two prices from two different sources when I was looking for an electrician. Quote A is from ID which is the Ouch price. Quote B is direct from an Electrician recommended to me by a forummer which is the Okay Lah price. Electrician say he give me special price, mbe he bluff me but anyway I take him at face value lah. All prices are for concealed wiring Quote A aka Ouch Price Supply & Install lighting point - $43/point Install light fittings - $12/point Supply & install 1 x 13A SSO - $80/point Supply & install 2 x 13A SSO - $90/point Supply & install SCV point - $150/point Supply & install heater point - $150/point Supply & install 1 x 15A SSO - $150/point Supply & install tel point - $75/point Supply & install cooker hood point with heater switch - $85/point Supply & install cooker hob with heater switch - $85/point Install ceiling fan - $55/fan Install wall fan - $35/fan To connect water heater with new casing - $30 point Install 2 way switch wiring - $45/point To install DB board - TBA Quote B aka Okay Lah Price Supply & Install New Lighting Point - $28/point Install Downlight - $6/point Install Ceiling Fan w light - $20/fan Install Ceiling Fan w/o light - $15/fan Install pendant/hanging light - $25/light Install lights - $5/light Install 13A SSO - $50/point (he gv me same price for single or double) Install new switches - $12-$15 depend on what type of switch Dun hv prices for the other services cuz I dun need them. I hv no idea what is this lighting loop, mbe its to do with 2-way switch wiring? You better ask, man. Looks like you were quoted ID Electrician price. But even then, it is really on the high side. $90 for concealed switch?! what type of switches they give you? Made of gold is it?? Mbe you can go and complain to your ID for 'misrepresentation'. On good faith, you had went ahead with the electrical works with him/her because you had trusted him when he said it will cost about $2K plus. He should have been responsible enough to ask the electrician for a breakdown of the electrical works and alert you when the cost exceeded the $2K plus he had earlier told you. I dun think you can negotiate down to the direct electrician price, but at least you have my ID prices here to compare which I think is really quite high already. Eg, mbe you can negotiate for the SCV price to go down from $200 to $150. Or you can negotiate for lower prices for the big quantity items, like the lighting points and lighting loops whatever it is. Btw, you have a lot of lighting points for a 958 sq ft house! My place is 143sqm and I think I hv only 43 lighting points at last count. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryanlio017 0 Report post Posted July 15, 2010 Hi For those who engaged Eric, what switches did he give? MK Switches? Before I confirmed with him, he said will be using MK. When he finished most of the electrical work and I went back to see, he gave Feng Yip swithces (the rocker switches with a flower logo at the bottom right). He's not honest, he tot I dun know tat switch is from Feng Yip. I used Eric for my past renovation too.. Yah, not honest guy. Alot of the Power sockets became faulty after just 2 years. Worst, during the reno period, his schedule was never on thing. Tough to coordinate with this fella. Beware fellas. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
