Do I Really Need a Licensed Electrician for Small Electrical Jobs?

I need a few electrical works done at home, like installing new lights and replacing some power sockets. Is it worth hiring a licensed electrician for smaller jobs, or are these tasks usually straightforward? What has your experience been?

From my experience, even simple light swaps can hide wiring issues, so I usually call a pro. I used licensed electrician services by Mr Electrician in Singapore for a ceiling fan install and they handled everything safely and quickly. If you’re not comfortable testing circuits or securing connections, hiring them saves time and avoids potential hazards.
