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

Installation and Upgrade Works

  • Switch/socket replacement including smart and USB models
  • Add or relocate power points, light points and data points
  • Downlights, track lights, pendant/chandelier installations
  • Ceiling fan, exhaust fan, dimmer and doorbell wiring works
For repeated power trip cases

Do not keep resetting breaker repeatedly. Switch off affected loads first and send a DB-box photo so we can prepare the correct troubleshooting path. Some nearby urgent faults can be reached in around 30-60 minutes for a first attendance when slots and safety conditions allow.

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 Electrician 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.

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.

Electrical Faults in Singapore Homes: Likely Cause → Fix

Most call-outs we get in Singapore HDB flats, condos and landed homes trace back to a short list of repeat issues. Use the table below to read your symptom before you message us — it helps you describe the fault accurately and lets us prep the right parts. Do not keep resetting a tripped breaker more than once; if it trips again immediately, leave it off and send a DB-box photo.

SymptomMost likely cause (SG context)Typical fix & indicative cost*
Whole flat trips, main RCCB won’t resetEarth leakage — often a wet water heater, pump, or aged appliance pulling the main RCCBIsolate circuits one by one to find the leaking load; replace faulty appliance/circuit. From S$60 diagnosis

*Indicative only, confirmed on site after inspection. Final price depends on access, parts and scope.

EMA-Licensed vs Unlicensed: Why It Matters in Singapore

Singapore regulates electrical work tightly. The Energy Market Authority (EMA) licenses Licensed Electrical Workers (LEWs) — Technicians, Electricians and Engineers — and only licensed personnel may lawfully carry out and certify many types of electrical work. Hiring an unlicensed “cheap uncle” can void your home insurance, breach your HDB tenancy or MCST condo by-laws, and leave you liable if a fault causes fire or injury.

When a job legally needs a Licensed Electrical Worker (LEW)

  • Any work on the main DB / consumer unit — replacing the box, adding circuits, or upgrading to RCCB protection.
  • New or modified fixed wiring — adding power points, lighting circuits, water-heater or aircon dedicated lines, or rewiring a flat.
  • Earthing and bonding work — correcting the protective earth that prevents shocks.
  • Anything requiring a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) — landlords, renovation handovers and many condo MCSTs ask for this document, which only an LEW can issue.
  • Installations above the licence threshold — for higher-load supply, an Electrical Installation Licence and a registered LEW are mandatory.

Simple plug-in swaps and like-for-like lamp changes are lower-risk, but the moment fixed wiring, the DB box, or earthing is touched, insist on an EMA-licensed team and a CoC. FixMove works with EMA-licensed electricians and issues a CoC on completion for qualifying jobs.

DB Box, Load & RCD: 2026 Realities for SG Homes

Many older HDB flats (1980s–1990s blocks) and resale units still run a fuse-type or early consumer unit with little or no earth-leakage protection. Today’s norm is a DB box with a main RCCB (residual current circuit breaker) plus individual MCBs per circuit, and increasingly RCBOs that combine both functions per circuit so one faulty appliance no longer trips the whole flat.

Signs your DB box is due for an upgrade

  • You still have rewireable fuses or a single main switch with no RCCB test button.
  • Modern loads — multiple aircon units, induction hob, instant water heater, EV charging — share too few circuits and trip under load.
  • The flat trips entirely whenever one appliance faults (no per-circuit isolation).
  • You are doing a resale renovation and want the wiring brought up to current safety practice before handover.

A typical HDB DB-box upgrade to a modern RCCB + MCB consumer unit is an LEW job; see the indicative breakdown on our DB box upgrade cost guide and the full labour ranges on our electrician cost guide before you book.

People Also Ask

How do I check if an electrician in Singapore is EMA licensed?
Ask for the worker’s EMA Licensed Electrical Worker (LEW) licence number or the company’s Electrical Installation Licence, and confirm they will issue a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) for work on fixed wiring or the DB box. A legitimate electrician will share this without hesitation. FixMove arranges EMA-licensed electricians and provides a CoC on qualifying jobs.
Why does my whole HDB flat trip instead of just one circuit?
That usually means your DB box relies on a single main RCCB with no per-circuit protection, so any earth-leakage fault — often a wet water heater or aged appliance — trips the entire flat. Upgrading to a consumer unit with RCBOs gives each circuit its own protection, so only the faulty circuit trips. We diagnose the leaking load from S$60.
Is it legal to do my own electrical wiring in Singapore?
No. Work on fixed wiring, the DB box, dedicated appliance circuits and earthing must be done by an EMA Licensed Electrical Worker. DIY fixed-wiring work can void insurance, breach HDB or MCST rules, and is unsafe. Only minor plug-in swaps and like-for-like lamp changes are low-risk for homeowners.
How much does it cost to upgrade a DB box in Singapore?
An HDB consumer-unit upgrade to a modern RCCB + MCB board is indicative from around S$450 and varies with the number of circuits, cable condition and whether earthing needs correction. Condo and landed boards run higher. See our DB box upgrade cost guide for current 2026 ranges; final price is confirmed on site.
What is a Certificate of Compliance (CoC) and do I need one?
A CoC is the document an EMA Licensed Electrical Worker issues to certify that electrical work meets the Singapore wiring code. You typically need it for DB-box work, rewiring, new circuits and renovation handovers — many landlords and condo MCSTs require it. FixMove issues a CoC on completion for qualifying electrical work.
