Lights, power points, ceiling fans, wiring and tripping circuits. Steer Builders handles everyday electrical work for homes, offices and shops, neatly and safely.
Electrical problems are rarely convenient. A circuit that keeps tripping, a light that flickers, a socket that sparks or a ceiling fan that wobbles all need attention before they become a safety risk. In Singapore homes, humidity and heavy rain can make some of these faults worse, especially where water finds its way into ceilings or outdoor points. Our team finds the fault, explains it to you and fixes it with the right parts. We test circuit by circuit so we replace only what is actually faulty, rather than guessing. If the cause turns out to be water from a roof or pipe leak, we can fix that too, so the problem does not come back. We install and replace lights, downlights and LED panels, add or move power points and switches, mount ceiling fans and wall fans, and run new cabling in trunking or inside walls and ceilings. We also wire power and isolators for new water heaters. This covers everyday needs in HDB flats, condos, landed houses, offices and shops. During renovations we work alongside our ceiling and painting team, so wiring is done while the ceiling is open and the finish is clean. Planning lighting points and sockets before the ceiling and walls are closed saves cutting and patching later, and avoids messy surface trunking where it can be hidden. Some electrical work in Singapore, such as new circuits at the distribution board, must be done or certified by a Licensed Electrical Worker under EMA rules. If your job needs one, we tell you upfront and arrange it, so your installation stays legal and insurable.

Light and downlight installation
We install LED panels, downlights, pendant lights and cove lights. Old fittings can be swapped for energy-saving LED versions.
Power points and switches
We add, move or replace sockets and switches where you need them. This cuts down on extension cords and makes rooms safer to use.
Ceiling fan installation
We mount new ceiling fans, replace old ones and fix fans that wobble. We check the mounting point is secure before fitting.
Wiring and rewiring
We run new cables in trunking, inside walls or above ceilings. Where possible the wiring is hidden for a clean finish.
Tripping and fault finding
We trace the faulty circuit or appliance that keeps tripping your power and fix it. You get a clear explanation of what caused the fault.
Water heater wiring
We provide the power supply and isolator switch for new water heaters. This can be done together with our plumbing team's installation.
If you notice any of these, it is time for an inspection.
A breaker that trips again and again points to a fault, water ingress or an overloaded circuit. Resetting it repeatedly does not solve the cause. The circuit should be tested to find out what is wrong.
Warm or scorched sockets and switches are a fire risk. Stop using that point. Switch off the power to it if you can do so safely and get it checked.
Loose connections or failing fittings cause lights to flicker or buzz. Sometimes it is just the bulb or driver. If it happens across several lights, the wiring should be checked.
Extension cords everywhere are a sign the room needs more sockets. Overloaded power strips can overheat. Adding proper points is safer and tidier.
Noisy fans and dim old lights use more power and can be unsafe. Worn parts and ageing wiring inside them can fail. Upgrading to newer fittings is often a simple job.
Water reaching an outdoor point or a ceiling light often comes from a roof leak. This is common during Singapore's heavy storms. Both the wiring and the leak need to be fixed for the tripping to stop.
Homes and businesses across Singapore, islandwide.
HDB flats
Condominiums
Landed houses
Shophouses
Offices

We find which circuit and which point is causing the problem before replacing anything. This avoids paying for parts you do not need. You also get a clear explanation of what went wrong.
Power is isolated before work starts, and wiring is done to Singapore standards. We use proper parts suited to the job. Everything is tested before we leave.
You know the scope and price before we start. If we find something unexpected during the job, we explain it and agree on it with you first. There are no surprises on the bill.
If water is the cause, we can also repair the roof or ceiling, so the fault does not return. One team handles both problems. This saves you coordinating separate contractors.
Most small jobs are done in one visit
WhatsApp a photo of the fault, light or switchboard. Tell us when the problem happens, for example only when it rains.
We test the circuit to find the cause. You get a quote before any work starts.
The power is isolated and the work is done with proper parts. We keep the area neat while we work.
Everything is tested with you so you can see it working. We clean the area before we leave.
Switch off the main breaker if it is safe to do so, then call or WhatsApp us straight away.
Press the test button on the RCCB in your distribution board. It should trip and then reset. If it does not trip, have it checked, as it protects you from electric shock.
Use separate points for high-power appliances such as kettles, ovens and heaters. Plugging several into one socket or power strip can overheat it. Add more points if you often need adaptors.
Cracked cables and loose plugs are a shock and fire risk. Do not tape over damaged insulation. Replace the cord or the appliance instead.
Weatherproof covers stop rain getting in. This matters on balconies, gardens and car porches during Singapore's heavy storms. Check covers are closed and not cracked.
Switch off appliances one by one to see if one of them is the cause. If it still trips, call us. A circuit that keeps tripping is a safety warning and should be checked. Do not keep resetting it or try to bypass the breaker.
Yes. We install customer-supplied lights and fans, and check that they suit your ceiling and wiring. Heavy fittings may need extra support in the ceiling. Send us the product details beforehand so we can plan the installation.
Where possible we run cables inside the ceiling or wall. Where that is not possible we use neat trunking painted to match. During renovations it is easiest to hide wiring before the ceiling is closed. We discuss the options with you before we start.
For work on the distribution board or new circuits, Singapore rules require one. We tell you during the quote and arrange it if needed. Smaller jobs, such as replacing a light fitting, may not. We will explain which applies to your job.
