Moontan Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 We still haven't recovered from a lightning strike last year. Some of our wiring has to be redone and a couple of wall fans installed. Looking for a competent and reliable electrician. Any suggestions would be welcome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsari Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I had the same question in the same location as your self . I decided to learn electrical installation to avoid all the frustrations . I can now rewire a house combined with the breaker earth with ease . It is not difficult and with the help of the net you can find all the help you need . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon as the wife home We asked at the an electrical shop near us. Young man - owners son, speaks as good English as me. He gave us the 2 contact numbers. Both in his store every day, both not cheap but high quality. Got an estimate by a local - 24,000 THB First of the 2 quoted 54,000 THB. Uses High quality wire, boxes, outlets, switches. Panel from Germany (I wanted Square D) All new LED lights Edited January 12, 2021 by canthai55 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhaoYai Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 I also needed an electrician recently - my wife managed to find one but I received some good advice on here so I'll pass it on. In some areas it is almost impossible to find a qualified electrician but as soon as you ask - every Tom and Dick is one, they're not. It is very likely that some of the engineers at you local PEA depot will do some 'moonlighting'. Take a Thai speaker with you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moontang Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Just for kicks I looked at the wire isle at the HH Homepro this week... 30 types, sizes of wire, not one single roll of three wire. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That worked for us with several small items. Never tried a large project but they could probably arrange it too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
