Socket Installation or Replacement?
Replacement means swapping out an existing socket on the wiring that's already there. It's the quicker job, and it's $50 for a single or double socket, supply and install.
Installation means adding a new power point where there isn't one. That needs a new cable run along the surface, and sometimes a new circuit from your DB box, so it's $90 for a 13A point. If you only need one more socket beside an existing one, it's $65.

Switch off and stop using a socket if the faceplate feels warm, you see burn marks or melting, you smell burning, or it sparks when you plug in. These are signs of a loose connection or overheating, and they get worse with use.
Stacking adapters and power strips on one kitchen socket is a common cause. Kettles, air fryers and microwaves draw a lot of current, and running several of them from one socket overloads it. If you're short of sockets, adding a proper power point is the safer fix.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the cables be visible?
Yes. All my jobs are non-conceal, so there's no hacking. Cables run neatly along the wall surface.
Is there a minimum number of sockets per job?
Nope, one socket is fine. No minimum.
How much does power socket replacement cost in Singapore?
Replacing a single or double power socket is $50, supply and install. A new 13A power point is $90, an additional socket next to an existing one is $65, and converting a single socket to a double is $65. A $50 site visit fee applies per trip.
Can I supply my own socket?
Yes. Labour to replace a socket you've already bought is $25. If you don't have one, I supply Schneider KB series sockets as standard.
My socket has burn marks or feels warm. Is it safe to use?
No. Switch it off at the socket and stop using it. Heat and burn marks usually come from a loose connection or too much load on one socket, and the socket should be replaced before it's used again.
