janetan80 1 Report post Posted February 28, 2013 Hello, I've received a quote for my AMK 5 room home on re-wiring. Light point > $30 x 28 = $840Double 13 socket > $55 x 20 = $1100Single 13 socket > $45 x 4 = $180Water heater point (2 way) > $110Air-con 20A ISO > $85Hood & hob point > $55 x 2 = $110Telephone point > $30 x 4 = $120TV point > $60 x 4 = $240Network point (Cat 6) > $90 x 5 = $450New Distribution box (excluding main cable) > $350Install downlight light > $7 x 24 = $168Install hanging light > $10 x 4 = $40Install ceiling fan > $30Total > $3823Discount > $323Net > $3500 Got this contact from my colleague when i went to her house warming party. Saw the workmanship was okay and she was telling how good this contractor was. But was thinking if the quote is on the high side. Anyone could kindly rate this quote for me as this is the first time my husband and i does renovation. Many thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

janetan80 1 Report post Posted February 28, 2013 Hi, the TV point is SCV point. As for LAN point, my husband said he prefers lan point then wifi as the connection is more stable. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

janetan80 1 Report post Posted March 2, 2013 Just came home after a site survey done with the electrician Mr Pang. Well he was a nice guy, we told him the points that we requires and he attentive and spots the best and possible routes for the cabling. He also advise us on how he will setup our network points. My husband was very pleased with Mr Pang's proposal and so on. Overall, he know his stuffs well. Guess we will be engaging his service to do our home electrical. Will update all on the progress soon.

Cheers to allHi Janetan...while this forum is for sharing....I will like to stress again on 'responsible sharing'. Share it only if you have completed the work with your recommended Mr Pang.i'm sorry, but the group of electricians that i have been earnestly trying to warn-off from renotalk, work exactly the same way your posts are going.There is no need for you to be so eager to recommend your electrician to people when u only meet up with Mr Pang and not start the work yet.These bogus electricians are sweet talkers and nobody will suspect there are cheats until the 1st payment is done.And out of 10 customers, they will choose to serve 2 customers well, and the remaining 8, they will either leave the work undone, incomplete, and for the worst unlucky few, they will dissapear after collection of 1st deposit.Then the 2 customers who are served well, will come into this forum and continue recommending these electricians.This cycle goes on and on...They have numerous accounts on renotalk, some pretending to be satisfied customers, some pretending to be asking for contacts just to populate their threads, self advertising etc.again to all, take recommended contacts with your eyes wide open. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
