FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are these guides a substitute for an electrician?

No. They explain concepts and help you prepare. Electrical work in Malaysia must be carried out by suitably registered and competent persons.

Are the guides updated when rules change?

We update guides when schemes such as ATAP or EECA change, but confirm current rules with the relevant authority before making decisions.

Are guides available in Bahasa Melayu?

Most guides have a Bahasa Melayu version, linked from the language switch on each page. The lightning risk assessment guide is currently English only.

Can I ask for a topic to be covered?

Yes. Send us your question on WhatsApp and we will consider turning common questions into guides.
