May_dream1 14 Report post Posted February 21, 2012 Bought switches today Was quite a satisfied journey of learning the all different kinds of switches in the market.why do you have to buy switches? doesn't your electrician provide for them? Mine was provided, the same as yours, "Schneider" brand Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ayazumi 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2012 As May has mentioned, I am also puzzled why you need to buy the normal switches? Your electrician should provide Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I opt out and get it myself.All my house single socket will be replace by double point which is only S$45...so i think is ok right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ayazumi 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2012 I was very curious why many home owners here buy their own switches. I thought it is a must, like buying toilet bowls, sink, etc. So I asked my contractor where to buy switches. He told me my electrician should have packaged the price of rewiring + switches together, don't need to buy switches out of my own pocket, which can save at least $300. I asked my electrician if the price quoted is inclusive of switches, he said yes, and there are a few types of switches for me to choose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
