These terms cover your use of emergencyelectrician.sg. Using the site means you accept them. They are governed by the laws of Singapore.

Prices are ranges, not quotes

Every SGD figure on this site is a market range collected from prices that Singapore electrical companies publish themselves, on the date stated on the relevant page. A range tells you whether a quote is reasonable. It is not an offer, it is not binding on anyone, and it is not a quote for your job. Your quote is the one given to you in writing for the work actually needed, and the price guide says so on the page itself.

Guidance is not a substitute for a licensed worker

The guides on this site explain how Singapore’s electrical rules work and what symptoms usually mean. They are general information, not an inspection of your installation, and they cannot account for what is actually behind your wall. Under the Electricity Act, electrical installation work must be carried out by an electrical worker licensed by the Energy Market Authority. Nothing on this site should be read as encouragement to do licensed work yourself, and no page here tells you how to.

If you can see smoke or fire, call SCDF at 995. If you can smell burning from a socket or your distribution board, stop using the circuit and get a licensed electrician out. Do not wait on a form.

Enquiries and the work itself

Submitting the enquiry form starts a conversation; it does not form a contract for work. Where a job goes ahead, the electrical work is performed by a Licensed Electrical Worker, and the contract for that work, including its price, scope and any warranty, is between you and the party that carries it out. You can and should verify any LEW on EMA’s public ELISE register before work begins, our licence check walkthrough shows you how.

Accuracy

Regulations, loading limits and market prices change. We date what we publish and every page shows when it was last edited, generated from the site’s revision history rather than typed in. We do not warrant that any figure or rule is current at the moment you read it. Check the primary source, which we link, before relying on it. If you find something wrong, tell us through the contact form. Our sourcing and corrections policy sets out the order sources are used in and what happens after you report an error.

External links

We link to EMA, HDB, SP Group and other third-party sources so you can verify claims at source. We do not control those sites and are not responsible for their content.

Liability

The site is provided as is. To the extent permitted by Singapore law, we accept no liability for loss arising from reliance on general information published here, and nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Content

The text, layout and images on this site belong to Emergency Electrician SG. Quote a passage with a link if it is useful to you; do not republish pages wholesale.

What this site publishes, and what it does not
How a number gets onto this site Four steps. A figure is taken from a published source, never estimated. The publisher and the date are recorded with it. Where two sources disagree, both are shown rather than averaged. And every page ends with the list of sources behind its figures, so a reader can check any of them without asking. 1. Published Taken from a third-party source, never estimated by us. 2. Dated Publisher and date recorded alongside the figure itself. 3. Not averaged Where sources disagree, both are shown, and labelled. 4. Listed At the foot of every page. What this is not Not our rate card. We publish none, because we have none to publish. What it is for So you can tell a market range from a number someone made up. Published prices move. Where a figure no longer matches its source, the source wins.
Market ranges from named third-party sources, never a rate card of our own. The distinction matters legally as well as editorially.
From the trade
It’s not something that all electricians are comfortable doing, to be honest. A lot of people struggle with it.
Artisan Electrics , UK electrical contractor, on fault finding: cited source, not affiliated with this site
What it means for you: Which is the reason nothing on this site is a substitute for a Licensed Electrical Worker attending. Guidance narrows the question; it does not answer it.
What sending an enquiry does and does not commit you to
What happens to an enquiry after you send it An enquiry is read and triaged, with anything describing sparks, burning smells or a flat with no power jumping the queue. You are then given an arrival window and the diagnosis cost before anyone travels. If the job goes ahead, the details are passed to the licensed electrical worker attending. The enquiry is not sold and is not added to a marketing list. 1. Read Triaged, with safety issues ahead of the rest 2. Answered Arrival window and diagnosis cost, before anyone travels 3. Briefed Passed only to the licensed worker who attends 4. Ends Not sold, not listed, deletable Never send NRIC or payment details through the form Neither is ever needed to book a job, and no legitimate electrician will ask for them to attend. If you see smoke or fire, call SCDF on 995 first. A form is the wrong tool for that minute. You can ask for an enquiry to be deleted at any point, whether or not the job went ahead.
An enquiry produces a reply with an arrival window and a diagnosis cost. It is not an instruction to attend, and it is not a contract.
