Emergency Electrician Singapore
About FixMove — FixMove receives urgent electrical enquiries for total power failure, sparking or burnt sockets, exposed live wire and a DB board that will not reset. Availability, attendance, the call-out basis and any required licensed electrical worker are confirmed for the diagnosed scope before dispatch.
Quick answer: emergency electrician in Singapore
For power failure, burnt sockets, exposed live wire or a DB board that will not reset, switch off the affected circuit and avoid wet or burnt points. Send the postcode and a DB-board photo so the safe next step, current availability, attendance basis and any required LEW route can be confirmed.
Some electrical faults cannot wait for routine troubleshooting: a burning smell, a tripped board that will not reset, or a live wire near water is a shock and fire risk. Make the area safe first, then request an urgent assessment. A response or attendance time is not guaranteed until the job details and current availability are confirmed.
When to call an emergency electrician
Total power failure
Whole home dark and the main breaker won't hold — we trace the fault and restore power safely.
Sparking or burnt socket
Scorch marks, buzzing or a burning smell from an outlet — isolated and replaced before it spreads.
DB board won't reset
RCCB keeps dropping or an MCB won't stay up — we find the faulty circuit instead of forcing it on.
Exposed or wet wiring
Bare live wire, a damaged cable, or water reaching electrical points — made safe on the spot.
Shock from an appliance
A tingling fridge, heater or metal fitting points to an earth fault — diagnosed and corrected.
After-storm electrical faults
Surge damage, tripped circuits or flooded points after heavy rain, restored and tested.
Before we arrive — make it safe
- Smell burning or see sparks? Switch off the main breaker at the DB box and don't touch the affected socket.
- Live wire near water? Keep everyone clear, do not touch it, and cut power at the main if you can reach it safely.
- Board won't reset? Turn every circuit off, flip the main back on, then restore circuits one at a time — leave the one that trips off.
- Whole block dark? It may be an SP Group outage — check with neighbours and report at 1800 778 8888 before calling us.
- Send a photo of the DB box or the affected point on WhatsApp so we arrive with the right parts.

Frequently Asked Questions
How fast can an emergency electrician reach me in Singapore?
Attendance depends on the postcode, current workload and diagnosed risk. Send a photo of the fault and DB board; a slot and attendance basis must be confirmed before dispatch.
What counts as an electrical emergency?
Total power loss, a DB board that won't reset, sparking or burnt sockets, a burning smell, exposed live wires, or water reaching electrical points — these are shock and fire risks. Stop using the circuit and call an emergency electrician.
How much does an emergency electrician cost?
Diagnosis is from $80 in working hours and $120–$180 after-hours; the repair is quoted upfront before any work. DB-board and rewiring work is priced after the technician inspects the board.
When is a licensed electrical worker required?
The requirement depends on the actual electrical work. The assigned worker or contractor and any applicable EMA credential are confirmed for the diagnosed scope before regulated work starts.
