Electrical work cost??

[teddy19 0]

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.

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.
