Hi members,

May I ask what is the average price of adding electric plug 13A to the wall? In Klang valley

Also Aircon switch.

I was quoted rm75 for one Wow.

have just done my hse few months ago, concealed, 13A i think Rm50, 15A RM75

RM75 is reasonable for surface installation. (Loop from existing sockets).

Concealed in casing or wall?

in wall

They did hack my wall and loop. But didn't fill back the hole.

I did over 20 and was charged rm75 each. So expensive.

hmm not sure if it applies to all but i added like less than 10 was also charged with Rm50 each, and for looping was Rm40 if i can recall correctly. but weird why didnt fill back the hole

Very bad job. Did 4 rounds and some holes extra that I didn't requested. Like my kitchen one, now it's a hole there. They cut my tiles off

did u get him to compensate u??

my guy was quite professional, i wanted to put in additional sockets in my kitchen but he was against it as theres a likelihood the tiles might crack etc

Yes I tried to but he said original price 90 per socket looping. After discount 75

hehehe looks like u just got screwed by him.. my friend in semenyih had just did the additional sockets and was charged Rm50 by a contractor in semenyih as well

in pj was charged i think 50 per socket but we installed more than 15 la
bad workmanship when filling back, but better than urs not filling up lol

I installed 20. I was quoted rm50 per socket. Because did bad job they said will discount. Now said 90 is the actual price. Discounted to rm75. I dont feel like paying anything

Tell them to fix up the mess, if not no payment. Worse case just pay them rm50 per socket and tell them to f off. Use the rm25 you saved to get another guy to fix the problems.

Below RM 100 is reasonable price. I also had one added in my yard area.

One below 100 is reasonable. But 20.

What about looping from other socket ? Is it suppose to be cheaper

usually around RM80 - 100 per plug point..try kaodim app

use eubiq. more convenient in the long run.

kalau wiring to aircon better 15a and please dont loop from another socket for aircon

Hi ..I’m looking for an electrician too. Is the one that did for you ok? If yes, can PM me his number ?

Kaodim is a great idea - like ServisHero - but always seems to have the error message “we’re experiencing some difficulties, please try again later”
Is it business and financial difficulties?

Most of the times, new extra power points are looping from another socket. They will not do a fresh rum frm the DB. Imagine how much that will cost !

I was quoted 50 -70 per power point for plaster ceiling lights. Had so many to do, took a day off and did my self. For wall powerpoints in my yard. Hacked the wall and looped.
Of course you may not be able to diy.

Its cut throat, but wht to do !

It depends on so many factors on whether cutthroat or not..

Check the following:-
1) Cable size used and any brand? Or even SIRIM certified wire? Electrical shops do sell many brand and types of wire. Those good qualities one can cost up to 2x more.
2) Is it looping or pull from DB? For air-cond switch, pull from DB and not loop from another AC point.
3) Also be mindful if looping. Need to know if the wire to the 13A power socket is already overloaded or not. If loop too many points, it will be dangerous. If 2.5mm2 cable concealed in wall, it can only support about ~15amp.
4) How many quantities? Don't forget there is always a minimum cost. If 1 or 2 units only, of course it will be expensive as the contractor still need to cover for traveling cost, toll fees, etc.
5) There are also some contractors that will do improper installation to cut cost e.g. stitching multiple scrap wires, reducing wire size, and so on.

i think its your app ; everyone can use Kaodim no issue

Bump old tered... Wanna ask if today just call electrician to do a job.. typically how much?

It depends on what you want to do, there should be a travelling Fee then followed by a quotation. Now most electricians/renovators (in PJ) want cari makan only. They only want big jobs. Small jobs don't want. Plus only 3 in 10 will do it properly/nicely without BS.

okay... the ones doing small job...also can tipu... i kena... 2 person come do job...1 instruct the other to do...charge me 2 person fee....
i was like wtf....straight away tell off the electrician

This is what happend to me too. Person A come see, ask person B come do. At the end bill makes no sense as it charge 2 person job.

Are these contractors on kaodim?

Depends. Hard to say.. Just make sure to pay on the platform.

Also, just from experience kaodim/ recommend.my both are good platform to find "contractors" but beware most of them like what I mentioned, Person A sees Person B do and those top rating contractors usually only do big jobs instead of small/ troubleshooting jobs, better $$.

Kaodim platform not already tutup kedai?

cheap liao lor, I call always kena rm150 minimum
