24 Hour Emergency Electrician Singapore

- EMA-licensed electrical workers
- Upfront quote before work starts
- Typically within the hour
What counts as an emergency, and what can wait
These cannot wait: a breaker that trips again immediately after one reset, any burning smell from wiring or fittings, melted or discoloured socket faces, sparks, a tingling shock from a tap or appliance, or a blackout affecting only your unit while the corridor lights stay on. Each of these points to a live fault that gets worse, not better, with time.
These usually can wait for a normal appointment: a single dead power point on an otherwise healthy circuit, a flickering light, or a switch that feels loose. If you are unsure, describe the fault in the form and we will tell you honestly which category you are in, nobody gets upsold a midnight call-out for a morning-sized job.
One rule overrides everything: if you see smoke or open flame, call SCDF at 995 first. The repair comes after the danger.

How an emergency call works
First, tell us the fault through the form, what happened, your area, and whether anything smells or sparks. Second, you get an honest arrival window and what the diagnosis will cost. Third, the electrician finds the fault on site and quotes the repair upfront; you approve before any work starts. Fourth, the fault is fixed, the circuit is tested, and the work is covered by a workmanship warranty.
Expect most emergency jobs in Singapore to land between S$150 and S$400 all-in, with late-night and public-holiday calls at the higher end. If a fault turns out to be bigger, say a DB box at end of life, you get the full picture and the choice, never a surprise bill.

Emergency electrician FAQs
What counts as an electrical emergency?
A burning smell from wiring or fittings, melted or sparking sockets, a breaker that will not stay on after one reset, exposed live wiring, electric shocks from taps or appliances, or a sudden loss of power in your unit. If you see smoke or fire, call SCDF at 995 before anything else.
Who should I call for a power trip, SP Services or an electrician?
SP Services (1800 778 8888) is responsible for the supply network up to and including your electricity meter. If the whole block or floor is out, or nothing in your DB box has tripped but you have no power, call SP. If breakers in your own DB box have tripped, the fault is inside your unit and needs a licensed electrician.
How much does a 24 hour electrician cost in Singapore?
Emergency electrical jobs in Singapore typically come to between S$150 and S$400 in total, depending on the fault and the hour. Night, weekend and public holiday calls sit at the higher end. You get an upfront quote before any work starts, so the price is agreed before a single screw turns.
How fast can an electrician reach me?
Fast, typically within the hour for genuine emergencies, depending on your location and the time of day. You get an honest arrival window before dispatch, not a vague promise.
Are your electricians licensed?
Yes. Electrical work in Singapore must legally be carried out or supervised by an EMA Licensed Electrical Worker. You can verify any electrician yourself on the EMA ELISE register at elise.ema.gov.sg, we explain how in our licence check guide.
Do you charge just to come and look?
