Common Questions

Frequently Asked

How long does a typical electrical visit take?

For a standard home electrical visit, we typically spend two to three hours on site. Older shophouses with layered wiring histories may take closer to three hours. Panel work on complex installations generally requires four to five hours. We do not rush, and you are welcome to ask questions throughout.

Do you work on older heritage shophouses in George Town?

Yes — this is a meaningful part of what we do. Heritage properties often have wiring from multiple eras, and we approach them with that in mind. We take time to understand the property's particular history before proceeding, and we discuss any findings with you in plain, practical terms.

Can I supply my own light fittings for installation?

Certainly. We are comfortable working with client-supplied fittings of all kinds — including antique pieces, imported lamps, and custom items. If you have something unusual, it is helpful to share the specifications in advance so we can prepare appropriately.

What areas of Penang do you serve?

We primarily serve George Town and the surrounding areas of Penang Island. If your property is located further afield, please contact us — we are happy to discuss arrangements depending on the work involved.

What happens after the visit — will I receive a report?

Following each visit, we provide written observations organized by area of the property. These are written in approachable language — not technical shorthand. For panel work, an updated labeling diagram and a written summary of findings are also included.

How do I prepare for the visit?

Access to the electrical panel and all rooms is helpful. If you have any previous inspection reports or wiring diagrams, bring those along — but it is not required. We work from what is visible and accessible on the day, and we note clearly what could not be examined.
