Useless organisation lah.
What had he done to his circuit breaker?
First check the main circuit breaker outside your HDB unit, is it tripped? If trip, turn it on. Then slowly turn on each MCB in your home to find which MCB causes the tripping. The tripped MCB, don’t use temporary if found burnt or any abnormality.
Then isolate the appliance that causes the tripping.
MCB B10 is lighting/switch
MCB B20 is Power point/aircon
After CNY then call the technician for repair.
You can temporarily use extension cord, make sure dont share too many electrical loads.
Just perform few simple steps to isolate the faulty appliance will do!!
tio carrot chop and robbed blind. I think the food in the fridge oso not worth 1k. Sometimes you DIY oso cannot fix problem. In the middle of the nite where to find electrician except those carrot chop type. Wisest thing iz call PUb to see izit power outage, if not start wrapping your freezer food with towel and put back in freezer and wait till morning. I speak from experience. If however iz water pipe burst dan boh bian must call 24 hrs plumber. I oso kena carrot chop b4.
no lack of rich stupid people in singapore
customer didnt ask the charges beforehand?
anyway, if restarants are dishing out surcharges, nothing worng with electricians doing the same
$1400 Go hotel stay for a week
$500 get technician to repair after 3rd day cny
The technician did ask him whether to proceed or not. If not just pay for the 90 bucks lor.
It's like this one lah. Midnight and on cny. Don't agree liao, fixed liao then wanna find a case and report to police or CASE lor... No honor...
If I am him and electrician ask 3500 I will not take it. That monies can go stay hotel liao. Then after CNY shop open then ask. Fridge food plus hotel stay think should be less than 3500.
if it's me.............unless the $90 transport is stated..............i won't even pay that............
No easy answer...only when you are in that situation.
If very very rich then perfectly ok, even if it is 5k.
For an average person not easy.....it's a decision between the devil and the deep blue sea.
Sigh

Scamming is wrong, regardless of whether is scam money from poor people or scam money from rich people
What the hell are you spewing ?
What scamming?
You failed terribly to read properly!
The electrician told him from the onset that it will cost him $3500.
The actual costings are reasonable. It is that X 2 or 100 percent additional for Chinese new year is daylight robbery. If he just add 20 percent which is market trend, then it is fair.

Each monopole type is between $10 and $30 depends on the amperage, available here: https://eezee.sg/categories/automation-c...it-breaker
Including transport and workmanship, the cost should be not more than $200. It takes 10 minutes, not 2.5hours, to replace.
You see the problem is not everyone know the know how hence has to pay for others to do it. E.g I am a programmer by profession some feature actually 10 minutes but I quote my manager 2.5 hrs simply becuz he don't know the details. It is same in other profession you pay monies to get it done. At what price you as customer decide worth or not.
Any problems just google search.

It is a case of "monkey see, monkey do" in SG. Our leaders have been dishing out all manner of surcharges in the form of indirect taxation and escalating prices for essential services to fund their obscene salaries for decades.

Why never add another 9% gst? IRAS never check?
