user123 5 Report post Posted October 27, 2010 if I'm quoted say, $35 for a new point for downlight, does this price usually inclusive of fixing the light after the false ceiling have been done or will there be an extra $10 for fixing just the light up? Means $35 + $10 = $45? Anyone can share? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Means $35 + $10 = $45? Anyone can share? My quote was $35 for electrcial point and $8 for installation. But i think there is room for nego on the electrical point. (my guess is $28 is doable) Installation of $8 is reasonable. But if you have a lot of points, then do a lump sum nego with the electrician. I did that with my electrician the last time. Now also working out this details for my new place. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

user123 5 Report post Posted October 27, 2010 Between, is it common to charge looping as a new light point? Even the light just next to another, two electricians quoted me as new point which I think it's unfair as the cable is so short and the 2nd and 3rd light are sharing the same line...
