Competent Electrician has built a wide footprint across Singapore, offering electrical, auto gate, plumbing and handyman services from its Chinatown Point office, backed by a claimed 20+ years of experience and a large base of named Google reviews.
The company's electrical work covers the everyday essentials — switch repair and installation, light and fan installation, electrical wiring and troubleshooting, circuit breaker replacement, and power trip and power failure diagnosis. It also extends into CCTV and data installation, commercial electrical work, and a dedicated auto gate installation and repair service covering swing, sliding and bi-fold gates for homes, commercial buildings, and industrial properties. Beyond electrical work, the company also offers plumbing and general handyman services.
For auto gates specifically, the company notes common failure points it's equipped to handle: motor malfunction from wear over time, power supply issues, faulty sensors preventing gates from opening or closing correctly, and general mechanical wear on hinges and tracks.
Competent Electrician makes several concrete service promises: a 30-minute arrival guarantee (with a $30 discount if they're late), 24/7 availability year-round, EMA-licensed electricians following the Energy Market Authority's rules and standards, and transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden charges.
The volume of named, dated Google reviews on the site is striking, and one technician in particular — Saiful — comes up again and again. Reviewers describe him as efficient, professional, and good at explaining the problem: Syahir Shahiful said Saiful "assisted us in troubleshooting and solving our trip issue competently and seamlessly" and was "willing to explain patiently." May Kwan noted that even when Saiful had to reschedule, he messaged ahead of time and diagnosed a tricky power strip tripping issue caused by a faulty monitor adapter, going on to recommend grounding and rewiring a heater — a 5-star review overall.
Other technicians earn their own mentions: Dharmitra SK praised Islam and Rana for proactively assessing and overhauling an entire home electrical system after being called out just to fix bedroom lighting. Guo Liang Ng described electrician Joynal resolving a burst driver and busted circuit breaker main within an hour of arrival. Salim (sometimes spelled Salám) is mentioned by multiple reviewers for efficient, professional work, including quick bulb-issue fixes.
Competent Electrician's office at 133 New Bridge Road, Chinatown Point, is open for visits and calls Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, though the company states its electrical service itself runs 24/7. Email response times are stated as 3-5 working days, so for anything urgent, the company directs customers to call or WhatsApp directly rather than email.
While this particular page is branded for Jurong West, the company's services and reviews reflect coverage across Singapore, spanning residential estates, commercial buildings and industrial properties for both electrical work and auto gate installation and repair.
