Electrical wiring installation in Singapore

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.

Indicative 2026 Singapore ranges. Every figure is quoted after a site visit; concealed wiring and distribution-board upgrades change the number.

Adding a few points to an existing circuit is inexpensive; a full rewire — new conduits, DB and testing — is where the budget goes.

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.

Use a licensed electrical worker (LEW). In Singapore, electrical installation work must be done or endorsed by an LEW. Unlicensed work is a fire and insurance risk — it is not where to save money.
How much does it cost to add a power point in Singapore?

Typically $90–$150 per point, depending on how far it sits from the existing circuit and whether the wiring is concealed.

Do I need to rewire a resale flat?

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.

Must electrical work be done by a licensed electrician?

Yes. Electrical installation work in Singapore must be carried out or certified by a Licensed Electrical Worker for safety and compliance.
