Electrical installation in Singapore: point prices and the EMA licence

Updated 4 November 2026

In Singapore a light point or a power point usually costs about S$80 to S$150 installed, and a ceiling fan about S$80 to S$220. For current prices, describe the job on BlaBlaPrice: it is free, and sellers reply in the chat with their offers.

Licences and rules

Electrical installation work in Singapore falls under the Energy Market Authority (EMA) licence system. The EMA fees are S$50 for a three-month licence and S$100 for twelve months, plus 9% GST, which makes about S$109 for twelve months in 2026. Ask the electrician to show a valid licence and to name the licensed electrical worker who signs off the job.

Season and heat

Singapore has no winter or summer. The climate is tropical, hot all year, with wet and dry seasons instead, so there is no quiet season for electrical work. Demand for new points and ceiling fans stays steady across the year. Ask the seller for the earliest start date and the number of working days, so the work fits around the heat and the rain.

How the price is quoted

Electrical work is quoted per point (light or power), per fan, or per job. A point is counted per gang, so a two-gang switch position counts as two. Ask whether materials and cable are included, and give the seller the exact flat or condo address and the room sizes in square metres, so the travel from Tampines, Jurong West, Woodlands or Ang Mo Kio is priced in.

What to write in your request

Name the scope of work: how many light or power points, switch changes, fans or new data points, and whether it is a new flat, a renovation or a repair. Add the address, the materials you want, your deadline, the experience you need from the electrician and your budget.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the job in your own words, and the AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Singapore, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers reply in the chat with their own price and terms, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them. Start from the request field, read how BlaBlaPrice works, or see ventilation and air conditioning if the job includes an aircon point.
