Does any one have any recommendation for an Electrician?
I'm in need of an electrician to install a Water heating system in my shower.
Please PM me if there is any recommendation. Thank you in advance and appreciate it.

There are very few qualified electricians in VietNam, outside EVN. And equally few plumbers.

I would even help you if you lived in HCM or DakLak. I possess an Ontario, Canada, electricians licence. I also did the wiring in my office, home and my wife's two hotels.

Given that the conjunction of water, electricity and humans is potentially fatal, please note:
1. There should be a ground-trip circuit breaker (GFCI) in the power supply to the water-heater;
2. There should be a double-pole switch outside the shower room to turn the power off to the water-heater;
3. If you own the property go for a ARISTON, if you rent the property go for a cheaper Malaysian model. Chinese water heaters tend to have short lives with no spares available.
4. A gate-valve, or stop-cock, in the water supply.
5. You will need a reliable 10-15 Amp electric feed.

AT THIS POINT, you will know as much as or more likely, more than a VN plumber/electrician.

Ask a technical person at EVN (not counter staff) if they know a trustworthy electrician.

I always call Ha Noi when I need a trades person in southern VietNam.

Read her profile - for a laugh.

Read her name, in English, Dung Master, for a better comprehension of what she is saying.

My brother-in-law does all the electrical stuff including electrical wiring the entire house of the last 2 houses built all by himself. He's got lots of wires and electrical components.

But like Jaitch said he is not certified nor has ever taken any electrical courses. Most people in Bien Hoa is self taught.

I live in Bien Hoa and took some electrical courses but as good as he is would not recommend him.
