yjx 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 I am waiting for my contractor to give me a quote... But I just wanna check out a few things from you expereinced fellas... The house is a resale and nicely wired up. I just need to change the lights, and the type of sockets\switch(frm old fashion small ones, to big ones)... So no need re-wiring, with a few extension.. How much will it cost? $1K? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starscream 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2009 Hmm.. I think a comprehensive rewiring can be had just a tad over $2000. A more modest requirement would come under $2000 so try not to pay too much. I am quite satisfied with my electrician that handled my renovation. Anyone who wants his contact can PM me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing more affordable like below $1k? Kitchen got hack and re-tiled, so need new sockets, the rest juz change light and change to new socket or switches... ... No repositioning, etc...

lipton 0 Report post Posted July 13, 2009 Hi, I got a quotation for $40 for a new power point by pulling an existing one from the corner of a room. Is this a fair quotation? It is for trunking. I had wanted to conceal it but was suggested against it by the electrician as he said the drilling creates fine dust which make the room dirty. I asked him what if I use newspaper to cover the part of the room for which the drilling is going to take place, he said that won't help much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can I still bargain? 13 Amp Double = $60 15 Amp = $90 Water heater = $90 SCV = $110 Telephone = $50 Board = $350 ur SCV point is a little exp - ours was $100, n already one of the most ex we haf seen around Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bloom 0 Report post Posted July 27, 2009 ur SCV point is a little exp - ours was $100, n already one of the most ex we haf seen around I have the impression that usually, we have to get the boxes & face plates ourselves, and the prices quoted by electricians do not include the boxes & face plates. Is this true? If the prices quoted are inclusive of these items, would it make it more reasonable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
