Hi there, plan to renovate my house a bit by adding plaster ceiling, downlight and some new power point.

May i know what's the market price for the work below: (Kota Damasara)

a) new power/plug point (conceal)
b) downlight point


Thanks

Last time i renovate my whole house, the wiring only cost me RM2K+....
Now 6 times more expensive....wow!

seeing latest copper cable prices really scary..per roll 125 for mega kabel 2.5mm² now

Heater, AC and general new points are quoted differently depending from db box or other nearest existing point.

In your case, it could be a lump sum or minimum pricing since is just few.

Unless you are repainting the entire unit, the paint color of the completed work area will be different from the rest of the original wall.

100 meters per roll.
Assuming the price was doubled up, that translates to (RM125/2) / 100 meters * 3 wires = RM1.88 extra per meter.

Let's say 1 plug point was initially priced at RM100 per unit.
But nowadays, electricians may ask for RM130 / RM140 per point (30-40% more).
Do they normally pull 15-20 meters point? Highly unlikely.

Please expect the price hike is a reason for labour cost increment but wire cost takes the blame.

Hello everyone,
The ceiling fan is not working. Could someone kindly share a good electrician contact to repair? FYI.. my ceiling fan is those which speed is operated with remote control.

Thank you

Wireman not replying calls and messages after recent mco.

Wonder if it is a wise decision to change another guy to finish up the renovation?
All the hacking done and wires already in place and plastered.
Remaining scope: install lights, change old switch sockets to new, testing and commissioning new wiring works, basically finishing works.

Not working as in doesn't even beep? Remote battery change to new/known good one? Clean the infrared diode ("sensor") of the remote gently and see; sometimes dust prevent IR signal?

Try rotating the fan with broomstick, turn on, and quickly remove the broomstick see if it helps.

Basically, if its "already wired up" and ready to go (i.e. like a new condo already has wires sticking out from ceiling) you can get any PW1 certified electrician (even off facebook marketplace) to do. Without hacking life is easier. Probably previous electrician cannot get MITI approval.

Not working as in the fan doesn't rotate when the main switch is on. Actually I hardly use the remote control to change the speed.

I thought so too, new guy maybe need to spend more time organising wires. The only worry is if he suddenly turns up asking for money. 90% done but payment only up to 70%.

+1, need some recommendation for electrition to add more sockets for the condo...many thanks..

Just got the keys to our subsale. We have a 13a socket for the water heater
I'm struggling to find a certified/licensed electrician to come and fix various electrical issues in the house. I'm prepared to pay more for their skill/knowledge, to know that it's done properly cause safety is no joke.
I know TNB has a list of contractors, but it's soooo overwhelming to go thru the list.

Anyone with any recommendation for a certified/licensed electrician? Location: KL/PJ

Cheers!
