Electrical Services We Handle Every Day
From recurring trip issues to lighting and fan installations, we focus on practical and compliant fixes. We keep the workflow simple: diagnose, explain, quote, execute and test.
Troubleshooting and Safety Checks
- Power trip diagnosis, DB box checks and circuit isolation
- Short circuit and leakage investigation (RCD/RCBO related)
- Faulty switch/socket testing and replacement recommendation
- Loose wiring, burn marks and overheating point checks

For repeated power trip cases
Do not keep resetting a breaker repeatedly. Switch off affected loads first and send a DB-box photo so the likely appliance, point, circuit or board fault can be separated before the appointment window is confirmed.
Repair, Rewiring or Installation: Which Service Do I Need?
Match the booking route to the job before sending photos. If power is already down or a socket smells burnt after hours, go straight to the 24-hour electrician route.
Repair: something worked, now it does not
A breaker that trips, a dead socket or a light that stopped working points to a fault on existing wiring. Start with power-trip diagnosis - a S$30 priority visit (separate fee); the fault is confirmed before repair is quoted.
Rewiring: the wiring itself is the problem
Aged cables, repeated trips across several circuits or renovation that shifts many points is a rewiring job - HDB partial or full from S$850, with an assigned LEW and CoC where the scope requires it.
Installation: wiring is fine, you want more
New sockets, light points, fans or smart switches on healthy wiring are quoted per point. Compare typical job ranges on the electrician cost guide before booking.
Most-Booked Electrical Jobs
Choose the route that matches the scope. This separates an urgent fault diagnosis from a DB-board upgrade or a larger rewiring brief before you request a quote.
Power Trip Diagnosis
For a breaker that keeps tripping, will not reset, or trips after one appliance is switched on. Send the symptom and DB-box photo first.
Electrical Inspection & Safety Assessment
For heat, burn marks, dead points, several uncertain faults or pre-renovation questions that need a scoped assessment before repair, DB replacement or rewiring.
DB Box Upgrade
For an old fuse board, burnt marks, missing RCCB protection or an upgrade quote that depends on board and circuit condition.
Rewiring & CoC Planning
For aging circuits, several new points, renovation coordination or fixed-wiring work that may require an assigned LEW and CoC.
Switch and Socket Replacement
Replace broken, hot or loose points and improve contact reliability.
Add Power, Light or Data Points
Plan usable points for appliances, work desks, lighting and TV or console setups. Use the data-point guide for copper Ethernet route, termination and testing scope.
Lighting and Fan Installation
Install downlights, track lights, pendants, ceiling fans and exhaust fans with the required electrical checks.
Popular Electrical Problem Pages
If your issue is specifically breaker trip or unstable power, use the focused troubleshooting page below before booking.
Electrician Singapore
Best when the job scope is broader than one fault point and you want a full electrician route for diagnosis, repair and upgrade planning.
Power Trip Singapore
Start here for circuit-breaker trip issues, DB-box checks, overload suspicion, burnt socket signs and urgent fault-isolation support.
Socket Repair Singapore
Use this when the main issue is a burnt socket, dead power point, hot outlet or switch/socket replacement rather than a wider blackout.
Rewiring Service Singapore
Best when repeated trips, old wiring, new point planning or renovation-linked electrical work make the job bigger than one quick repair.
High-Intent Booking and Upgrade Paths
These related pages work better when the visitor already knows whether the job is urgent fault isolation, rewiring, install support, or a broader renovation/custom-work brief.
Emergency Electrician Singapore
Best for power failure, burnt socket, exposed wire, DB fault or urgent after-hours electrical safety checks.
MCB & RCCB Replacement Cost Singapore
Use this when the breaker keeps tripping, RCCB will not reset, or the quote depends on DB-board replacement scope.
Power Socket Installation Singapore
Open this for new 13A, double, USB or 20A power points where point location, casing and load matter.
Wall Socket Replacement Singapore
Use this when the existing outlet is loose, burnt, cracked, hot, dead or needs a like-for-like replacement.
Electrician Near Me Singapore
Useful when the priority is a local route for urgent fault checks, repeated trips or a confirmed electrical appointment window.
Rewiring Service Singapore
Choose this path when one quick repair is not enough - multiple trips, old wiring traces, switch-box upgrade or renovation-tied rewiring planning.
HDB Wiring Upgrade Guide
Useful when the flat keeps tripping, runs too many extension cords or now needs a clearer repair-versus-rewiring plan before renovation grows wider.
Ceiling Fan Installation Singapore
Useful when fan replacement, new mounting, wobble/noise checks or HDB ceiling clearance is the main decision point.
Renovation Company Singapore
Move here when rewiring, point shifting, ceiling work, TV-wall changes or room-by-room upgrading are already wider than a simple electrician visit.
Full House Customization Singapore
Useful when electrical coordination now depends on built-ins, TV walls, hidden cable planning or cabinetry-led layout work.

24 hour electricianFrequently Asked Questions
Q: When is an EMA Licensed Electrical Worker required?
A: The requirement depends on the proposed electrical scope. FixMove confirms the scope and assigns an appropriately licensed EMA Licensed Electrical Worker for regulated work. Customers may request the assigned LEW details before work starts.
Q: My circuit breaker keeps tripping. Can you fix it?
A: Yes. We troubleshoot power trips, check DB box/circuit breakers and identify common causes like overload, leakage or faulty appliances.
Q: Can you add power points, light points or data points?
A: Yes. We can add/relocate sockets, power points, light points and data points with trunking or concealed wiring (subject to site condition).
Q: Do you install lights, dimmer switches and ceiling fans?
A: Yes. We install/replace downlights, track lights, pendant lights, dimmer switches, ceiling fans and exhaust fans.
Q: Can you do HDB rewiring?
A: A site review should define whether partial or full rewiring is appropriate, the circuits and access involved, and the testing or documentation required. Regulated work is assigned to an appropriately licensed LEW.
Q: What payment methods do you accept?
A: PayNow, bank transfer and cash are accepted after completion.
Q: Who is FixMove and how do FixMove technicians handle this service?
A: FixMove confirms whether an electrical scope requires an EMA Licensed Electrical Worker (LEW) and arranges the appropriate licensed personnel for regulated work. Customers may request the assigned LEW name or licence details before work starts.
Q: How much does an electrician cost in Singapore?
A: Urgent service or a customer-requested appointment time adds S$30, subject to technician availability and confirmation. Common jobs: socket replacement S$60-S$120, light point install or replacement S$80-S$180, ceiling fan installation S$80-S$220 and power-trip fault tracing quoted by scope. The exact price is confirmed in a written quote via WhatsApp before work starts. See the full electrician price list for 2026 job ranges.
Q: Are FixMove electricians licensed in Singapore?
A: Electrical work that legally requires a Licensed Electrical Worker under Singapore's Electricity Act is assigned to appropriately licensed EMA personnel. Customers may request the assigned LEW's name and licence number and verify it on EMA's ELISE register before work starts.
Q: Do I need an electrical repair, rewiring or a new installation?
A: If one point or circuit failed suddenly, book a repair - A S$30 Priority Service option is available for urgent or customer-requested appointment times, subject to availability and confirmation; it is separate from the work quotation. If the flat has aged wiring, repeated trips across several circuits or a renovation plan, use the rewiring service route (HDB partial or full from S$850, with an assigned LEW for regulated scope). If the wiring is healthy and you want new sockets, lights or fans added, book installation work quoted per point.

Booking, visit and pricing questions
These rules apply to the visit unless a written quotation states a more specific job scope.
Do you charge for the visit?
No call-out labour fee applies to route-and-schedule visits. A S$10 fuel surcharge still applies per visit. If you want to pick your own arrival time, a S$30 priority visit is available and is not deductible from the work quotation.
Is there a diagnosis fee?
Only when the fault has to be traced. For known-scope work - mounting, installing, assembling, replacing a named part, or an on-site measurement - there is no diagnosis fee or call-out labour fee; the S$10 fuel surcharge still applies. Where fault-finding is needed, diagnostic labour is quoted separately before it begins and is credited in full toward the related work when the customer proceeds.
Do you charge more at night?
The hour you start is the only scheduling factor that changes the price, and it applies to the labour quote: 00:00-06:00 +50%, 06:00-09:00 +30%, 09:00-21:00 normal rates, 21:00-24:00 +30%. There is no flat night call-out fee. The out-of-hours surcharge is overtime and is not credited against the job.
Do you charge more on weekends or public holidays?
No. Weekends and public holidays are charged at normal rates - a Saturday afternoon costs the same as a Wednesday afternoon. Only the hour of the visit changes the price.
Are materials included in the price?
No. Materials are billed separately in addition to the job price, and no time-of-day surcharge is applied to them. The job price itself is confirmed on site before any work starts.
