Why socket work is licensed work
This is the one homeowners most often want to DIY, and the one the rules are clearest about: HDB states that only a licensed electrician can replace socket outlets, and EMA requires electrical work to be done or supervised by a Licensed Electrical Worker. The reason is boring and real, a socket wired with a loose terminal or missing earth works fine until the day it does not, and that day involves either a fire or a shock. Verify anyone who touches your sockets on the ELISE register.
What each point costs (market guide)
Single power point about S$65; double about S$75. Water-resistant singles and doubles S$75 to S$85; fully waterproof (outdoor, service yard) S$130 to S$140. A 15A point for an aircon runs about S$115, a 20A isolator about S$160, and a CAT6 data point about S$100. Concealed wiring inside walls adds roughly S$20 per metre; surface trunking is cheaper. These are current Singapore market ranges, not teaser rates, your itemised quote comes before any work.
One rule to know: if your flat still has the original electrical loading, HDB requires a permit before new 15A points go in. Older flats planning multiple aircon or heater circuits should read our electrical loading guide first.

Power point FAQs
How much does it cost to install a power socket in Singapore?
Market rates: a single power point around S$65, a double around S$75. Water-resistant versions run S$75 to S$85, fully waterproof S$130 to S$140, and a 15A point for an aircon about S$115. Add concealed wall work at roughly S$20 per metre if the cable run must be hidden.
Do I need an electrician to install or replace a socket?
Yes, legally. HDB guidance is explicit: only a licensed electrician can replace socket outlets. EMA requires all electrical work to be carried out or supervised by a Licensed Electrical Worker, including work that looks small.
Do I need an HDB permit for a new 15A power point?
If your flat has not been upgraded to higher electrical loading, yes, HDB requires a permit to install new 15A points for air-conditioners or other high-capacity appliances. We check your loading status before quoting so the answer is never a surprise mid-job.
Where should power points go in a renovation?
Where the load actually lives: dedicated points for the fridge, washing machine and microwave rather than multi-plugs; bedside pairs; a cluster at the TV console; water-resistant points near sinks. Fewer extension cords is the whole game, extension-cord overload is a top cause of trips.
Can you add a data or LAN point at the same time?
Yes, a CAT6 data point is around S$100 at market rates (forum quotes range S$100 to S$200). Doing data and power in one visit shares the labour and the mess.
