Common Installation Problems in Singapore

Most essential devices and appliances in Singapore households require electricity to run. Therefore, careful and professional electrical installation is required to ensure the safety of everyone that’s going to use such household items. Any wrong and improper electrical installation can instantly lead to short circuits that may result in power failures and even house fires. So, it is only wise to contact a reliable electrician in Singapore to conduct any electrical installations in order to avoid any future accidents.

Few electrical installation errors are commonly seen in Singapore homes

  • All electrical wirings should be placed correctly and secured firmly with the use of clips or staples. Ensure that these staples are also not placed too tightly around such electrical wirings to prevent any damage to the cables themselves. This is because such faulty electrical wirings may lead to eventual electrical problems. On the other hand, electrical wirings that are loosely installed can lead to overheating of such cables, which can easily cause an accidental fire. Hence, correct and professional electrical wiring installation is essential for ensuring the safety of residents in Singapore.
  • Most inexperienced electricians may still lack the necessary knowledge required to conduct such electrical installations. As such, they may inadvertently use electrical wiring of the wrong size and length, which can seriously pose a potential danger to electrical appliances at home. To avoid such problems, only work with an experienced and licensed electrician in Singapore who are able to install wires with proper dimensions as set by local electrical authorities. Homeowners should also only work with electricians who have undergone the electrical installation course from recognised institutions in Singapore.

  • The electrical wires should be adequately covered with plastic cables, without which the wires may be damaged very easily. Moreover, electrical junction boxes of the correct size should be used during the electrical wiring installation in order to protect the electrical cables. These junction boxes should never be left open carelessly, to avoid any accident caused due to the touching of the live wires. Hence, these boxes should be firmly covered with metal lids to ensure safety.
  • Avoid short circuits by ensuring that suitable circuit breakers are used during the electrical installation. Your electrician should strictly follow the electrical installation guide provided by the EMA or Energy Market Authority in Singapore.

  • The junction boxes should not be overloaded with too many electrical cables passing through one place, as it may lead to excessive heating and house fires. Hence, it is best to use larger junction boxes and has correctly sized cables passing through these boxes to avoid any such accidents. Ask your electrician to go through his electrical installation checklist to prevent any mistakes and ensure that all the necessary tasks have been completed.
  • Light installations may also be incorrectly done such as in the case of wrong placements of live and neutral wires. Reliable electricians should always opt to use a circuit tester to ensure that the correct electrical wiring installation is done.

Electrical Installation Safety Tips

Are you about to start a new electrical installation work? Here are essential electrical installation safety tips to follow to avoid any potential accidents:

  • Remember That Everything Is “Live”: Electrical devices and appliances are supposed to be handled carefully, especially when they happen to be live. If you proceed to handle energized wires, then you are at great risk of being electrocuted. It is often a misconception to think that only live wires are dangerous. Oftentimes, people also find it difficult to distinguish one type of electrical wiring from another, which makes it even more important to handle them carefully.

  • Turn the Power Source Off: When dealing with any electrical problems or issues, you should always make it a point to switch off the power source. This ensures your own safety when conducting electrical work. It is only safe to turn the power switch back on when you are done with the electrical installation and are about to test if the device is working. If you’re hiring a professional electrician to do the job, make sure that they also follow through with the course.
  • Ensure Proper Insulation: Tools used to fix any kind of electrical issue or electrical installation should all have “safe” handles. Check that these handles are really made of materials that cannot conduct electricity to ensure your safety and to prevent any potential accidents.

  • Mind Your Hands: Since electrical installation involves mostly manual labour, don’t meddle with electrical work that you are not entirely familiar with. Make sure that your hands are completely dry when working with electricity. Additionally, make it a point to wear electrical gloves and closed shoes. Most importantly, be mindful of what you touch as your hands are the main point of contact. A trusted and reliable electrical maintenance company in Singapore should know these safety rules.

  • Try To Use Only One Hand: The current basically flows the fastest through the chest cavity. If you use both of your hands at the same time, then you are highly likely to enhance this flow of current because your chest is located in between your two hands. This is why it is always recommended to use electrical tools with just one hand and to keep the other hand away from any electrical conductors.

  • Where Is Your Electrical Installation Located? Inspect the location where you’re doing the electrical installation before starting any work. Remember that it is important to assess the feasibility of the place beforehand. Avoid conducting installation work in a relatively cold room that is likely to be wet. Don’t take any risks and ensure that the place is completely dry and free from moisture.
  • Help A Workmate: Most electrical installation jobs require more than one pair of hands. It is not recommended for anyone to carry out electrical work by themselves. When dealing with various electrical problems or issues, you are supposed to help each other in the process. If the other person comes into contact with a live wire, remember to turn off the main power supply immediately and avoid touching the person. Certified electricians from an electrical maintenance company in Singapore should be aware of these basic safety rules.
