dreamygal 0 Report post Posted December 19, 2011 Hi everyone, I need to source for a reliable electrician. The quote i got from the electrician recommended by my contractor don't seem to be very good. I will try and talk to him and see if he can give me a better price, but at the same time, i hope to contact a few other electricians for quote as well. I need an electrician by early next week. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dreamygal 0 Report post Posted December 20, 2011 (edited) Hi ben263 , Thanks for your reply. #8 - I did not do re-wiring for the whole house, but want to change the socket cover. He tell us to buy and he will change for us. My hubby said its expensive as its not very difficult to change. Think he want to do it himself.
