Reliable Tap Replacement Services in Singapore

If you have a leaky or constantly dripping tap, this can cause damage to your property if left unrepaired.

The washers inside your taps can degrade over time, which allows water to seep through the tap, meaning it drips continuously even when the tap is fully closed. No matter how hard you try to turn/tighten the tap.

Our plumbers can repair or replace a variety of taps including Pillar taps (rising and non-rising) and Ceramic disc taps. We know about the mechanisms within these taps and our engineers will be able to repair them.

They will diagnose what is causing the problem and then carry out tap repair work to solve the issue and stop it reoccurring in the future. Our engineers will visit your property with vital parts on their vans to ensure that in most instances, they are able to immediately stop the leak and drip.

If repairing the tap is not going to be economical, we can advise on tap replacement and arrange to carry out the work, using like-for-like parts.

We work around your schedule, so if you have leaking, broken or damaged taps, give Metro Plumb a call and we will arrange for a plumber to visit at a time which is convenient for you.

Tap repair service is usually requested by customers when tap is leaking or when its handle is spoiled. It is one of the most common plumbing problems. Ignoring a leaked tap is not a long term solution as it results in significant water wastage over a period of time. Moreover, leaking tap is usually a simple repair which you should not ignore as it may deteriorate to a situation where you have to replace the tap which should cost more.

Replace a Different Tap

Some owner may wish to replace their old taps which require the turning of knobs to new taps which they just need to lift the lever or handle.Tap replacement can be easily performed by experienced plumbers but may be a difficult task for non-plumbers. The difficult part is to ensure that the taps are fixed well without leakages.

If you need to fix the cold and hot water supply to the taps, the installation becomes more difficult. Some home owners buy a tap with totally different design and realize that it is not suitable for their basin. For instance, if you have a bowl like basin, you can use a tall tap. But if you have a shallow and flat basin, installing a tall tap not only looks weird, the water flowing from such height may splash out of the basin easily. Consulting a plumber before buying a tap with totally different design is advisable.

Therefore, it is crucial to fix a leaking tap as early as possible.

DO I NEED CUSTOM CARPENTRY

If you have things, you need cabinets. It’s as simple as that.

The real question every penny-wise homeowner asks is, “Doesn’t mass market furniture serve the same purpose at a much lower cost?” The short answer is yes and no. All your furniture need a carpentry service. A home without a storage solution would be no different than a hoarder’s den.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CUSTOM AND FREE-STANDING FURNITURE

The key differences between mass market and custom-made furniture are functionality, longevity and price.

Custom carpentry is designed to suit unique lifestyle needs and space. Designs are tailored to maximize a designated space, improve layouts for collectibles, and personalize a desired interior design style. However, customization will cost you a pretty penny because of the hours of craftsmanship needed to complete the job perfectly.

Contrast this to affordable off-the-shelf furniture which have been mass produced for generic needs. These may not be the best solution for individuals with specific storage needs or non-standard spaces (e.g. curved walls, high ceilings).

In terms of make, mass manufactured flat-pack furniture is undeniably less durable. Designed for self-assembly, it is difficult to ensure that the joining is done securely. Even if you count yourself a master DIY-craftsman, the low-cost chipboard is prone to warping and chipping which compromise the strength of the frame and thus ability to bear a load. Under extreme heat, load and exposure to moisture the vulnerabilities are exacerbated. Moreover, the furniture’s alignment tends to go out shape after it has been dismantled then put back together again.

Another overlooked factor is safety. Unlike custom-made furniture, free standing furniture isn’t bolted to the wall. Any imbalance in weight distribution causes the furniture to tip over.

HOW MUCH CARPENTRY DO I NEED?

However, if you’ve got a bigger budget and want to invest in a staple piece of furniture, here are three factors to plan for before installing custom cabinets: (i) hobbies or lifestyle needs, (ii) spatial flow, and (iii) organization within a cabinet. Plan only for what you need to control your costs.

HOW TO BUDGET FOR CARPENTRY?

If you’re looking for a magic number, we hate to break it to you, but it doesn’t exist. Why? Because no floorplan and project are the same.

Estimating a ballpark cost of carpentry for your home requires some groundwork. Get in touch with multiple carpenters. You can do this through the Internet, friends, family or your interior designer. Comparing more quotes will help you get a lay of the land.

While you are on the hunt, check for online reviews of a carpenter’s service and workmanship. Excellent sales service is as important, if not more, than the cost of carpentry.

After receiving a couple of quotes, you’ll notice that carpenters charge cabinetry by the foot run. Other carpentry projects like customized headboards and feature walls are charged by the square foot, while bed boxes are charged per unit size.

Attention to Electrical Warnings

Every home in Singapore uses electrical services. Life nowadays is often unimaginable without electricity, but there are times when electrical systems unexpectedly fail. Some issues might look minor but it does not mean that you should try to fix it, especially when you’re unaware of the necessary safety measures needed. There is always the danger of a potential electric shock and therefore, professional electricians spend several months and even years acquiring skills to learn how to deal with electrical issues correctly and safely.

Just learning how electrical systems work? Take note of these important electrical safety tips from us.

Pay attention to the warning signs:

Any electrical fault does not occur immediately on its own. Electrical systems often show warnings that people often ignore and only notice until something goes wrong. Warning signs such as faulty electric switches, flickering lights, burnt power circuit, and power tripping indicate that you should contact an electrician for inspecting the whole electrical system in your house. If there any big fault may occur in the future, a professional electrician will locate it and fix it before it shuts down the entire electrical system in your house.

Know the importance of the Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI):

Contact any experienced local handyman electrician in Singapore and he will inform you about the importance of GFCI. Power outlets installed inside the bathroom are required to be protected by a GFCI or a ground-fault circuit interrupter. Whenever the power outlet in your bathroom loses amperage, GFCI cuts that power outlet to prevent further damage. It is an important device which you must install in outer and bathroom outlets.

Never go too far with your DIY ideas:

Electrical faults are common in both residential and commercial properties. There are some issues you can easily tackle if you have the right set of tools and have done your research by reading up on handyman-related articles. However, there are some boundaries which no newbie should cross when it comes to electrical repair. Try to repair or replace any electrical component that is installed outside the wall. If there is a fault with the inner wiring, contact reliable electrical company in Singapore immediately.

Glass door repair services

Glass door works just like any other doors whereby it has to be secured by a mechanism to a wall. For a sliding glass door, it is usually by clamp which are attached to a roller while for swing glass door the mechanism that is commonly used are called glass door hinges.

As with any mechanical parts, such glass door hinges are prone to wear and tear. The issue is a malfunctioned glass door hinge can bring with it certain amount of risk.

damaged glass door hinge

As shown in the image, there are springs within a glass door hinges which can rebound and thus hit the glass causing it to shatter.

Beside that such glass door hinges are commonly used for shower door and also the main door of a commercial unit where traffic is high. As such a damaged hinge can be dangerous.

We do replacement of damaged hinges for both commercial and residential unit as well as alignment of glass door (which happens when the hinges are loose causing the glass to sag down).

For such glass door replacement, the main consideration is the hole that has been pre cut in the door. As shown in the image below, you will notice 2 hole right at the edge of the glass door .

As the hole in the glass door cannot be altered, a hinge with correct measurement is needed to ensure that the glass is held securely to prevent any mishap from happening.

For most replacement, the work can be done within an hour to two, mainly depending on the alignment which has to be redone as both hinges are removed from the door.

A minimum of 2 technician is required to do the work for safety reason as we are dealing with glass which has a risk of shattering.

Upon replacement, the warranty period for the labour is 3 months. However, it is highly unlikely that we would be called back for the next couple of years for another glass door hinge replacement work as such hinges would not malfunction that frequently.

Professional Aircon Installation in Singapore

No less than Singapore’s first prime minister Lee Kuan Yew considers air conditioning unit as the 20th century’s most important innovation, at least for the country. In an interview more than two decades ago, when Singapore was far from how it is now, the statesman even attributed the existence and availability of air conditioning units in the overall economic growth of the country.

This may seem like an exaggeration for some, but for Singaporeans who have lived through the humidity levels of the country, this is no longer a surprise. After all, Singapore was once dubbed as the “Air-conditioned Nation.”

Role of Aircon in Proliferation of Business

Prior to the massive district cooling and the hectic scene of Singapore downtown, the tropical weather of the country certain did dictate the commerce, as well. As some officials would recall, any business transaction including meetings and selling were limited to the cooler hours of the day. That means that by around 11:00 am, everyone would then go for recreation. This has buoyed Singapore for quite a time until an American aircon brand entered the country in the 1950s. Without doubt, it was the business sector which immediately fell for the promises of air conditioners. Fancy restaurants and shopping malls followed aircon installation. The availability of aircon simply provided a remarkable edge for any business establishment. Expectedly, everyone wanted to get their hands on the aircon.

It is worth noting though that it took a while before households joined the airconditioning phenomena. However, aircon also significantly influenced the residential landscape of Singapore. From bungalows, open-air, and balconies, high-rise and wall-to-wall living spaces were sprouting fast.

To date, it is safe to say that both the commercial and residential sector has efficiently caught up with the aircon phenomena, even making Singapore as the top aircon user all over ASEAN.

Beyond Economic Reasons

Now going beyond the economics of air conditioners, this innovation has no doubt brought a high level of comfort for every user. It has been so engraved in Singaporean’s lifestyle that the overall benefits are often overlooked.

Aircon has been revealed to reduce possibilities of an asthma attack due to the reduction of humidity, moulds, and mildew. This, of course, needs to be coupled with regular AC cleaning and maintenance of the air filters, as aircon can be a home of several bacteria, as well.

Interestingly too, insects and parasites tend to avoid air conditioned spaces. Several pet owners also observe that their dogs do not have fleas when confined in an air conditioned space. In an extremely humid country like Singapore, the health benefits of air conditioners could not be discounted, as well. Staying in a cool place is one of the best ways to prevent heatstroke and dehydration, especially during the summer months. Apart from that, air-con also aids in better sleep quality, something that will always make the extra electric cost worth it.

From being a highly economic commodity, the role of aircon in the lives of Singaporeans has significantly evolved to be a personal one. And safe to say, Singapore remains to be an the Air conditioned Nation, even two decades later.

To Replace Or Repair Your Water Heater

There are several factors that you need to put into consideration when making a choice between replacing or repairing your water heater. Factors such as the amount you are willing to spend on it, the current state of the water heater and the duration of time that it has been in use will be taken into consideration. If you need an expert to evaluate your water heater in order to access whether to repair or replace, Joydom is the most appropriate place for you. We are a large store widely recognized for its high-quality water heaters such as the Ariston water heater you see in Singapore. Our water heaters in Singapore pricing are reasonable and very economical. The process of replacing or repairing a storage heater with us is easy on the wallet. Our aim is to give our customers high quality goods and services that are reasonably priced. We have relevant experience for more than a decade of being in business in this industry.

For a majority of people who do not do a regular maintenance for their water heater, there will likely be signs that indicate that their water heater is not functioning well and it needs to be repaired. Some instant heaters will fail to heat up and instead of a hot spray from the shower head it will be ice cold. This is an indicator that the water heater needs some repairing to be done. Another sign might be the presence of water puddles which may indicate that there is a faulty faucet or a dripping tap. The temperature regulator might also stop operating as required which is also an indicator that something in your water heating system is not right. These signs might occur in storage heaters that are old. We  educate our customers on how to identify a faulty water heater and offer the best water heater repair in Singapore, should there be a need.

Understanding the process of a water heater is also key. The operating system of a standard water heater is not complex and therefore it is easy to identify a change in its functioning. The water passes through to the storage tank where it is heated by the use of electricity. The temperature is regulated by the use of a thermostat to ensure that the water temperature does not exceed the set limit. The pressure in the storage tank created as a result of the heating process is responsible for shooting the hot water through the faucet. The process is quite clear hence there are only very few issues that can arise.

Some of these things that might go wrong are the failure of the heating system, a breakdown of the thermostat, malfunctioning of the valves, the electric circuit can break or the pilot lights might go off. You need not to worry or get worked up if it is one of these things that needs repair. Our repair services and spare parts are economical. The quality of the spare parts of a new instant heater or storage heater is dependable and durable. If your heating system is nearing the end of its estimated lifespan we can also provide you with a brand new one such as the Ariston water heater in Singapore which is a widely recognised brand of water heaters.

The modern models meet all the requirements set for standardization and security measures such as the venting system size and type specification, drainage and supply pipes that are inbuilt. For individuals with skills and experience in electrical and plumbing the DIY (Do It Yourself) guideline and the toolbox might be all they need to kick off the replacing process. For those who lack these skills and experience they are also covered in our store as all they need to do is hire one of our experts to perform this task for them at a very reasonable price. Our stores do not just offer amazing products but also provide professional services to our customers.

Understanding the different types of air-conditioners takes some getting used to

Air Conditioner has become an essential electrical appliances in Singapore household due to the high humidity and average temperature of 30 degrees celcius year round. Due to Global Warming, the temperature had even hit above 35 degree which had caused a lot of discomfort staying indoor without an aircon.

You’ll probably be thinking “What? Can’t be right, though just install into the wall can already?” Unfortunately, It isn’t that clear-cut. There are various types of air-conditioner units in the market, so it is important to determine which model suits your rooms best for best aircon installation.

Wall vs window air conditioners

The most frequently used ones are the wall-mounted and window units. As their names suggest, the former is sealed permanently to, or mounted on, an exterior wall, while the latter fits right in an existing window. Both come with their pros and cons; having a wall air conditioner means that you do not have to give up your window space and are much more economical in the long run. However, the downside is that installation costs may be higher (because you’ll probably need to create openings in the walls).

Do note that if you’re planning to install a wall air conditioner in your HDB unit, you’ll need to get a BCA trained air-conditioner technician to assist you. In addition, you must submit an installation report to your respective HDB branch within 14 days after installation.

On the other hand, window air conditioners are easy to install without professional help. They come in a variety of sizes, which can fit vertical, horizontal or sliding windows. Regardless of the configuration, the most important thing to note before purchasing one is to be sure to take accurate measurements of your window so that it fits perfectly.

Inverter vs non-inverter

You’re bound to come across these terms if you’re thinking of getting a wall air conditioner. In a nutshell, inverter air-conditioners run on a variable speed compressor, whereas non-inverter varieties operate at a full load whenever the compressor is switched on.

Still, sound like quantum physics? Basically, the compressor of inverter air-conditioners reduces their running speed once the desired temperature is achieved. This differs from non-invertor air-conditioners, which have fixed speed compressors that only either run on full or minimum capacity. The bottom-line is homeowners usually prefer inverter air-conditioners as they help to save energy and costs in the long run.

Best Aircon Servicing and Aircon Repair Services

With the hot weather in Singapore, most of the Singapore households will install the aircon unit in their house. Therefore, the aircon is a frequent fixture that often used by every household. The aircon units can come to high maintenance costs if they used it always. So, aircon repair is needed where there are aircon issues such as aircon is not cool or leaking.

Q: What are the usual inclusions of your general air-conditioning services?

A: Joydom Engineering Pte Ltd standard process for general air conditioning services includes checking, washing and cleaning of filters of the fan coil unit. Part of the air con cleaning procedure in Singapore is to also check the motor and fan bearing and put lubricant when necessary. We also use vacuum or blower and wash using water its pipe to ensure no dust is stuck that will affect the performance of your air-con unit. Flushing the dust with water or use blower when necessary. And then once the actual fan coil unit is done, our professional and experienced team will check the refrigerator system if need to do gas top up or check the cooling coil, drainpipe and clear choke when needed. Our team always brings air con repair kit to ensure everything will be covered.

Q: Is chemical wash or chemical overhaul part of your general air conditioning services?

A: Although the basic procedure or process includes checking of pipes, removing stuck jellies and dust is part of the chemical wash. There are instances that the fan coil unit hasn’t been cleaned for quite a while and dust can get stuck up which will become hard jelly. This case, the water and blower might not be enough to remove it and clear the pipe. Joydom Engineering ensures a long-term solution and normally recommends doing a chemical wash or chemical overhaul. The main reason is because the stuck hard jellies cannot be dissolved by simple water wash, it needs to use chemical to ensure the pipe and the parts get cleared. The chemical wash or overhaul however is a separate price.

Q: What is the difference between a chemical wash and chemical overhaul?

A: Both processes uses chemical when doing the air-con cleaning. The chemical wash is simpler as we don’t take out almost all unit and clean. While the chemical overhaul, our experienced team dismantle the whole fan coil unit and do a thorough chemical wash of its part and put it back again.  The chemical overhaul is best done and recommended when the unit is leaking badly and when unit hasn’t been service for a long time.

Q: How often do we need to do general Air conditioning cleaning and chemical wash?

A: ideally the general air con cleaning should be done every 3 months (quarterly) to maintain its performance and ensure to always be in its best to avoid any fan coil issues or problems such as leaking or not cooling.  For some reason that fan coil unit is leaking, not cooling or having a sound, those were indicators that Air con need to be serviced either a chemical wash or chemical overhaul.

Q: What will happen if I miss the quarterly Air-con cleaning?

A: Air-con issues will start to be seen when maintenance is not done, such as water leaking from the fan coil unit, bad smell or dirty air coming out of the air con, sounds, and not cooling enough. If that is the case, we suggest one-time chemical overhaul of the fan coil unit and go back to normal maintenance after every 3 months going forward.

Q: When should I do Gas top and is it included in the normal/general air-con cleaning?

A: Checking whether there’s enough gas on the condenser is part of the cleaning process, however, topping up a gas is a separate procedure or process. Hence, different price when done. Our air-con team will suggest if gas need to be toped up. There should be enough coolant on the compressor to maintain the cool air being blown by the inside units. As gas need to be balanced, the gas can’t be more than the standard volume and can’t be less.

Q: What if after my Air-con cleaning service, I discover some issues with my fan coil unit? Will you charge me another price to come and check or another air con repair cost?

A: Joydom Engineering Pte Ltd ensures end to end process. Our customers are guaranteed 1-month service warranty. We can schedule for our experienced air con guys to go back and check what is the possible cause of the issue. If it has something to do and connected to the service we did, we will fix and repair at no cost. In case the issue has got nothing to do and not connected with the service we did; it will be discussed with the customer.

Q: What is the price for different kinds of aircon servicing and maintenance contract?

A: It is best recommended to go on Air con maintenance contract aside that it’s cheaper, you also don’t need to remind yourself when air conditioning services is due to be done because Joydom Engineering proactively sends you a notification every quarter with your registered number on file.

Being most widely used shows that they are the most reliable and longest lasting. It is also easier to obtain spare parts for repairs and replacements if necessary. Thus, the cost for maintenance are also usually lower as compared to the rest.

Professional Vs DIY Aircon Servicing

An air-conditioner is an essential part of one’s life in the summers. In the case of an inverter, it plays a vital role in the winters as well. It is responsible for not only maintaining a comfortable temperature inside a room but also purifies the air to ensure that good quality fresh air is available for your use. To ensure proper working of the aircon, it is essential that it is regularly cleaned and serviced. Otherwise, it will not only affect its efficiency but also affect the quality of air that is being blown inside the room. When you want to clean or service your aircon, you can either do it yourself or call a professional to do the aircon servicing. Each method has its pros and cons which are described in detail below. You can choose which option works best for you.

DIY Aircon Servicing

When you want to clean your aircon or do regular maintenance, there are a few things you can do easily without any professional help. Doing them will ensure that your air conditioner’s efficiency is not compromised and will require minimum repairs in the future.

Cleaning The Filter

The filters in the indoor unit of the aircon need regular cleaning to ensure good efficiency. They should be cleaned at least once or twice a month depending on whether the aircon is used extensively or not. The air filters can easily be removed from the aircon by opening the outer flap. Once removed, you can dust it or use a vacuum cleaner to get the excess dirt out. After that, wash them with water and soap and put them out to dry. Once dried, insert them back in the unit and close the flap. If the filters seem worn out, it might be a good idea to replace them with new ones.

Cleaning Other Parts Of The Air Conditioner

Apart from the filter, the other parts of the air conditioner also require regular cleaning and maintenance. When you clean the filters, it is a good idea to clean the indoor unit of the aircon as well. You can easily do so by using a dry and damp cloth alternatively to remove all dirt buildup. The air outlets should be cleared to remove any blockage from dust. This type of cleaning should be done using only a damp cloth without the use of any harsh chemicals as they might damage the aircon.

The outer unit of the aircon should also be cleaned every couple of months to ensure its smooth running. Again try to clear any blockage in the pipes and drains. A vacuum can be used to remove dirt and dust from the various holes and grooves in the unit. A damp cloth can be used to clean the outer surface of the unit.

Checking For Leaks And Fixing Them

If you notice any leak in the pipes during cleaning, you can easily fix them yourself if the crack is not too big. A duct tape can be used to seal the pipe to prevent any water from leaking in the walls or back towards the indoor unit.

Other Regular Maintenance

Regular servicing and maintenance of the aircon is essential especially if it is an inverter and is used in summers as well as winters. The more an aircon works, the more it is subject to wear and tear which would require regular maintenance. Ideally, it should be cleaned once or twice a month.

The first step in this regard is to dismantle the unit of the aircon. The electrostatic filter can then be taken out and washed in water to remove any dust or dirt buildup. An aircon also normally comprises a carbon filter which is responsible for purifying the air. There are certain sensors which notify you when the carbon filter needs to be replaced. Replacing it as soon as it breaks down also helps in maintaining the aircon’s efficiency.

Another maintenance which you can easily do at home is to clean the air ducts of the ventilation system if you have any. Regularing cleaning and checking on the ducts lets you keep them clean and crack free. If you see any cracks or gaps during cleaning, you can easily fix them when they are still small instead of waiting for the time they get bigger and more difficult to repair.

Aircon Servicing By A Professional

Regular maintenance of your aircon on your part will help to keep it working smoothly for longer times but getting a professional to do the aircon’s servicing is also of importance. The way a professional can service the aircon can never be achieved by doing on your own. They are qualified to service and do proper maintenance of the air-conditioning so that it keeps working efficiently without breaking down completely.

Bidet Installation, Repair and Replacement Singapore

Is bidet installation necessary? Yes if you are particular on hygiene.

A bidet is frequently installed in the toilet for personal hygiene purpose. It is an instrument to wash your private parts (i.e. anus and genitals) where you excrete waste.

In the past, bidet is another item which look like a toilet bowl but was installed with taps for washing the private parts. In modern households, bidet has evolved into two different types – manual handheld type and automatic electrical type.

The manual handheld bidet is a shower-head look alike instrument. It is also called the spray bidet. Instead of shifting yourself to the bidet in the traditional type, you can now bring the bidet to you and wash your private parts. Manual bidet is sometimes used for cleaning the toilet as you can use it to spray water on the floor and wall of the toilet when you are cleaning it.

The automatic bidet or electric bidet is commonly found in public toilets in Japan and it sprays water to wash your private parts. The newer version of electric bidet sprays soap water and warm water to clean your private parts. The latest electrical bidets even incorporate a dryer which blows dry your private parts after washing. Such heated bidet with soap water and dryer is premium bidet. Such high-tech bidet is also known as quality bidet.

Comparing the manual and electric bidet, electric bidet is far more superior in terms of hygiene washing because your hand will not be in contact with your private parts. Therefore we encourage you to install the electric bidet if you have the budget to do so. Otherwise, the manual bidet is the next best alternative in washing your private parts after excretion.

As mentioned earlier, bidet offers a more hygienic way of cleaning your private parts after visiting the toilet. Besides this advantage, it also helps to reduce the usage of toilet paper and save the earth. In an aging population, the electric bidet will be very useful in cleaning the aged parents with mobility issue.

our plumbing experts are trained to install both manual and electrical bidet for you. We have the necessary knowledge and skill for the installation without damaging your pipes or toilet. When you are looking for a plumber, make sure that they are a licensed plumber like us. We are always ready to assist our clients in their plumbing needs in any way possible. Our professional plumbers provide wide-range of plumbing services including the installation and repair of water heater, taps, pipes, etc. We charge our customers reasonably as we believe that they deserve high quality plumbing services at affordable prices.

Home Lighting Design

Firstly, who chooses the lights in your home? While you might be excited to recreate your light images in your home or go for a new light installation, it might not be the best idea aesthetically. It’s hence best to consult the experts first before choosing your lights.

If you’re employing an interior designer, they will handle the lighting in addition to your interior design. There’s usually a lighting designer within the team that will focus solely on ensuring that the lighting in your home is optimised. They will be able to take your preferences and marry that with their experience in choosing and layering types of lights to produce the best option available.

1.2 If you have a renovation contractor

A renovation contractor works slightly differently. They just take your detailed instructions and execute them, so you have to do a little bit more prep work before telling them what lights to install.

You can hire a lighting designer separately to consult, but in our opinion, unless you have a large number of art pieces to highlight or a space that has complex lighting issues (such as odd angles or low light at all times), it isn’t necessary.

1.3 Buying lighting in Singapore

It is imperative that you go down to choose your lights yourself. If you have an interior designer, insist that you join them to pick the lights in person. You can see how the lights are installed and hung and tell the difference between the different types of lights more clearly in real life.

Considerations for installation and replacements

One thing you need to consider when buying lights – the complexity of installation and replacements. The more hacking and building your lights require, the more expensive and complex it will be. We do not recommend installing lights yourself, especially if you want to install a false ceiling as well.

You also need to consider how hard it is to replace these lights. If you prefer to change bulbs by yourself, it might be better to choose pendant lights, chandeliers, or LED lamps that can be easily replaced.

Light switches

Light switches don’t only come with a ‘on/off’ option. You can choose from many different types of light switches, but they all depend on a few questions:

Do you need to turn a light off from a single location, or multiple locations (i.e. two sides of a hallway)?

Do you need a dimmer function or a selector function to choose different types of lights (i.e. to turn only half the lights on)?

Do you prefer push buttons, toggle switches, or pole switches (see image below)?

The answers to these questions, combined with the bulbs you choose, will help your electrician determine how to wire the lighting for your entire home.

Light switches can be confusing, especially in a HDB BTO flat, which commonly contains 2,3,4-gang light switches. Instead of having to memorise which switch controls each light, which is bound to cause frustration, our Switch Sticker Labels specially designed for Singapore homes are here to ease the confusion!

Electricity and live wires is not something to be played with. So if you aren’t sure about electrical components and equipment, this isn’t something you should play with.

Flow of Electricity

The first step in installing a light is to understand all the power sources and how the electricity flows through the home. You should also know the amount of voltage that passes through a light, so when you are installing a light, you know how much is the optimum voltage that is allowed to pass.

The Existing Fittings

Electrical wires in a household are pretty complicated. Lights are connected to multiple switches and so on. It’s important to know how the electrical systems are connected to each other before you embark on your installation exercise.

If you connect a wrong wire to the light, your whole electrical system goes haywire.

Removing the existing light fitting

If you already have a ceiling light, it needs to be removed carefully. The first step is to shut the power source completely. The second step is an extra precaution. You’ll need to use a voltage tester to see if any current is passing through. If it isn’t, you can move on to the next step.

Before you install your light, you need to understand the type of circuit you are working with. The popular circuit types are

Junction Box Wiring

Loop in circuit
