hi. again, i'm recommending uncle william. my husband just asked him to install more ventilation fans (now i have 4 in my home *palms face*). william showed my husband how to smell-proof our 2nd floor hdb flat, and gave him heavy duty double-sided tape. but that is a different topic.

why am i recommending him? i have recommended him twice before on this forum and i still do. i like that he uses ONLY good cables and switches. he showed me the difference between low quality and quality cables. quality cables are thicker, last longer and (i think) withstand a higher current. i replaced a switch myself for an electrical outlet. he checked it and told me i bought the wrong switch. that plastic switch can melt down and he gave me a better switch with some metal parts. because of that, i always call him for minor electrical works after i moved into my new home. all for a very reasonable price. thumbss up!

i like the assurance that the cabling in my home is not slipshod since poor cabling can cause fires, and my home is newly renovated (1 year).

his number is 91501952. he is not my relative or friend, and this is not an advertisement! if you have any electrical work done by him as a result of this post, please share it here.

Hello everyone, i would love to recommand Sebastian. Engaged his services to rewired our 5 rms flat. Had ask some other electrician recommanded in this topic to come over to quote as well as Sebastian. Though Sebastian is not the cheapest among all, but his respond is the fastest. After seeing the recommandation of Sebastian, my hubby and i decided to go with him.

Sebastian is friendly and easy to talk with. As mentioned, this guy is really young but experience. The first site meeting with Sebastian and my Designer is an eye opener. Can really tell how experience he is as he went through the points needed for our unit and even my designer got to come to me and say "Wow, where you find this electrician? He knows his stuffs well". My hubby and i were really impressed and glad that we engaged the right person for the job.

The first day of electrical work (Dismantling of old cables), Sebastian and his team came at 9am, start dismantle all the electrical stuffs and the old lightings and so on. He really made the effort to take care of our marble flooring. my hubby even got his brothers to standby to clean up the unit after Sebastian and his guys is done with the dismantling, around 3 pm, we received a msg from Sebastian saying the dismantling is completed. So my hubby and i and his brothers went to the unit to do cleaning, when we step into the unit, we were really surprised. the whole unit is clean and cleared. Guess Sebastian and team had cleaned up the place and the debis. Really

Next, wiring works, Sebastian brought his team of 3 to our unit and start the wiring works. They have started at 9am and ended at 7pm. My hubby received his msg at 7pm that they have completed the wiring works. My hubby says cannot believe it lo so he wanted to go to the unit to check. He came back home with a surprised face. YES they've completed the wiring works! My Designers called the next day and say he was impressed too. My Designer also says that "Your electrician is giving me pressure lo, do thing so fast then i also must keep up to his pace"

Next, Installation of Fans and lightings. Just for your information, we have in total of 42 downlights and 5 ceiling lights and 2 fans to be installed. Guess what? Sebastian came in the morning with 2 of his guys and they completed the job in a day again. Seriously very determind and hardworking guy he is. My hubby was at the unit "So call inspect the progress" said Sebastian does the installation himself too. My huuby even ask Sebastian why he as a boss got to do the installation himself. Guess what, he says thats how he motivate his guys, by working together is the way to bond. hahahaha.

Lastly, Installation of sockets and handover. Sebastian came with just one of his guy and finished up the works and he went around doing the final touch up and he handed over our unit to us 3 weeks ago. My hubby and i was really happy with the service Sebastian had provided us right from the start. He got very high standards on his workmanship and his workers. That's why my hubby and i agrees that our electrical work is in safe hands. Really glad that we had made the right choice in selecting Sebastian to be our electrician. Was satified with everything so far. Oh yes and not forgeting his high standard for lights fittings, this boss will go around the unit doing the measurements and use his LASER to make sure that our downlights were in line. super duper professional.

Sorry for the long winded testimonal, But seriously would recommand Sebastian highly. You will not regret in engaging his services.

Could pm me his contact or send to my email hongyu95@hotmail.com?

thank you very much :)

Hi all, after looking through this thread, I engaged Ah Keong who was recommended by others. Ah Keong did all the electrical works for my 4 room HDB flat and I am certainly very pleased with his workmanship and attitude. A jovial person with good service, very flexible and accommodating. I have to admit that I am quite troublesome, changed the layout a few times but Ah Keong accommodate all my requests even though he has already laid the cable. His workers are also very experienced and definitely know what they are doing.

As for costs wise, I am not sure if Ah Keong is the cheapest in town as I only compared between him and my ID's electrician. My ID's electrician quoted me $5K plus and Ah Keong is about $2k cheaper. The original quote was $3600 but this amount will increase as I have added a few more plugs and ceiling light point (renovation is still onging) However, Ah Keong provided free Legrand switch which I understand is of better quality whereas my ID's electrician provided MK switch.

I would highly recommend Ah Keong. You will not regret engaging him.

Just got my electrical works started. Engaged Zenterra Engr. Not too bad, they were fast and did everything nicely. Prices pretty reasonable. One of the better quotes I got, just that the switches were in-house brands... but looked pretty good.

Good stuff! :good:

I Agree!!

look into Zenterra also, after going through this thread.

At first my ID recommend their electrician, which quoted me quite high. Then, I proceed to source for another 2 quotes, one of which is Zenterra.

Why I like about them. For a start, if you get your lightings from them, they provide free installation!! how's that? (other electrician charges $7~$10 per installation, so I estimated I save additional $300 from that alone). Moreover, their lightings are all reasonably price, that even my ID also say that we got a good deal.

Their lighting selections are also quite good range. I manage to get all my lights and ceiling fan from them, and they give further discounts of 10% (i think it's 10%).

Their electricians also very accomodating to changes request, even last minute additions. And their wiring standards are reasonably ok.

More over, they do not chase for payment. By the time they send me the last invoice, I also paiseh for delaying payment for so long.

Do check them out.
