Thanks for the input stormer.lyn! Will definitely keep these things in mind when talking with the electricians again.

Do electricians have to be registered under Suruhanjaya Tenaga? I ask because I couldn't find the first electrician or his company at the following links:
Senarai Kontraktor Elektrik Berdaftar
Senarai Orang Kompeten Elektrik Berdaftar

Thank you everybody for your input!

Just sharing my experience here...No intention to be sarcastic or what....

Based on my discussion with wiremen, most of the them are not certified or registered...If they are certified, they told me, they wont be doing such small jobs already like installing water heater and etc...

Hmm I think I understand. You mean they will be doing bigger jobs with bigger companies like MNC's right? Those professional industrial stuff etc.

Yes, you are right..the money from those big jobs are lucrative...especially with factories, hotels and etc...

I get what you're saying. Malaysia is bolehland.I started this thread because I didn’t want to be charged unfairly, but now it’s more about figuring out which electrician is the most competent and safest.

Charges is one thing, but do you know what kind of material are they using ?

Some quote u cheap but using questionable material...

Some quote u mahal but they used high quality industrial grade material..

It can be subjective...

Just sharing this as I have been dealing with wiremen for a while...

Before they quote I have told them the exact specific material I want ...

For ie, electrical wires ...ada different brand..I used one of the best brand in MY...

Then you need to tell them the size coz got 1.0mm, 1.5 mm and etc...smaller size is cheaper...

Then conduit piping...got High Impact one or not...

DB box or fuse box...guna plastic or metal...Metal is better....

Fuse ler, ada banyak jenis...

The list just goes on....

I would think lucrative is a relative term.

I got my bro's electrical contractor to lay new wiring for whole house, add plug points, lighting points, replace main db plus add sub db. He is on the registered competent electrician list. He told me his earnings from doing large project vs small ad hoc works does not differ much, but the larger project mean longer duration and more stable income.

True also...big projects ada risk, as collection is an issue...Main contractor sometimes delay payment....unless you are dealing direct with the factory or hotel...

Small project like homeowner rennovation, easy to collect money..payment sure okay one as homeowner will not lari payment...
