Market Rates For Electrical

Recommended Posts

Dear All:

Just got a electrical quote (thru ID) and I know that the rates are ridiculous. I expect, and am willing, to pay a bit above market rates since the process may go smoother due to ID Recommendation, but I don't expect to be price gauged.

Can someone let me know what are the market rates for what they have quoted? Or if you know of a good recommendation, do let me know.

Thanks so much, that confirms my suspicions. I don't mind for paying for an honest day's work, but gauging like this just pisses me off. If anyone has a good electrician to recommend, I'd gladly give them the business. PM me if you know, thanks!

my ID marked up about 10% to the market rate, which i think is reasonable. I considered that as their reward for coordination, and certain level of responsibility that they have to bear.

40-50% is way to0 exorbitant.

MY electrician did my 5rm new flat at punggol only cost me less than 2k in total.

Anything above 2.5k is expensive to me IMHO

Nick34,

Your price of less than $2K is including rewiring the entire unit plus installation of lights and other appliances?
