- Age and Safety Concerns: HDB flats that are over 25 years old might have outdated electrical systems that do not meet current safety standards. Rewiring is essential in these cases to prevent potential electrical hazards.
- Capacity Enhancement: Modern lifestyles involve the use of more electrical appliances and gadgets. The original electrical capacity in older HDB flats might not be sufficient to handle the increased load. Rewiring can update the electrical system to meet current demands.
- Compliance with Regulations: Electrical systems must comply with the regulations set by the Energy Market Authority (EMA) of Singapore. Rewiring ensures that your home’s electrical system is up to date with these regulations.
- Cost of Rewiring: The cost to rewire an HDB flat varies based on the size of the flat. For example, rewiring a 3-room flat can cost between SGD 1,000 to SGD 2,000, while a 5-room flat might cost around SGD 3,800. These costs can be higher if extensive modifications or renovations are required.
- Duration: The time taken to rewire an HDB flat depends on its size and the extent of work required. For a 3-room flat, it can take around 3-4 days with two people working. More extensive projects will take longer.
- Lifespan of Electrical Wiring: The average lifespan of PVC electrical cables is about 20-25 years. However, the life expectancy can vary depending on the type of wires and installation practices.
