Looking for Electrician

[Gouldian]

Hi Bros, wondering whether are there any electrician among us that could help me with my tank electrical works.

I have initially gotten a contractor to do up some electrical works for my new TV console and new tank.

However, his attitude start turning south when I paid him in full. He have aksed to be paid in full as he claim that he has done most of the works liao and now just have to wait for my tank cabinet to arrive.

My cabinet have arrive for almost a week already and he still have not turn up.

I have given up on him liao and wish him well.

Thus, I post here in hope that any bros here can help me with some electrical wiring works. I will need also some advises on what kind of sockets to get etc.

Anyone?

My electrician wired up a seperate circuit breaker near the MCB of the house, brought in extra wires thru the roof to my room, put in 8 pairs of sockets (total 16 sockets) for the tank and computer + another 4 more pairs at other locations of the house...

Supposed to be a family friend or what lah but was charged $500+ for a 2 day job...

Not sure if we got chopped or not... shrug...
