How much does it cost to add a power point in Singapore?

Adding a new power point in Singapore costs SGD 100-200 per point for standard installations. Costs increase if wiring needs to run through concrete walls or over long distances from the DB board.

Upgrade your DB board if it is more than 20 years old, uses outdated fuse wire instead of MCBs, trips frequently, or you are adding high-power appliances. A new DB board costs SGD 500-1,500.

How much does rewiring an HDB flat cost?

Full rewiring of a 4-room HDB flat costs SGD 2,000-5,000 depending on the number of points and wiring complexity. This is often recommended for resale flats over 20 years old.

Can I install an EV charger in my condo in Singapore?
