Electrical work is priced two ways in Singapore: small additions like power points are quoted per point, while a full rewire is a project sum. This guide lists the electrical prices we publish for 2026, what changes them, and a worked example — plus why the work has to go through a licensed electrical worker.
How much does electrical work cost in Singapore in 2026?
| Electrical work | Typical price (2026) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| New power point / outlet | $90 – $150 each | Depends on location & wiring run |
| Light point / fixture installation | $70 – $150 each | Per point / fitting |
| 3-room HDB rewiring package | from $1,299 – $1,899 | Bronze → Platinum coverage |
| Full-flat rewiring | $5,000 – $12,000 | Older resale flats needing a full rewire |
Indicative 2026 Singapore ranges. Every figure is quoted after a site visit; concealed wiring and distribution-board upgrades change the number.
What drives the electrical price
A worked example
A BTO owner adding 8 new power points at $90–$150 each budgets roughly $720 – $1,200, plus a few light points at $70–$150. A 3-room HDB taking a wiring package pays from $1,299 (Bronze) to $1,899 (Platinum) depending on coverage. An older resale flat needing a full rewire sits at $5,000–$12,000, because the conduits, distribution board and testing are all renewed.
Typically $90–$150 per point, depending on how far it sits from the existing circuit and whether the wiring is concealed.
Not always — but older flats with ageing wiring, few points, or an undersized distribution board often benefit from a full rewire ($5,000–$12,000). We assess on site.
Yes. Electrical installation work in Singapore must be carried out or certified by a Licensed Electrical Worker for safety and compliance.
