Why Choose Our Power Point Service

Power Point Installation Services

Indoor Power Point Installation

Indoor power points should be positioned for convenient access while complying with electrical safety regulations. We install power points in optimal locations including beside beds for device charging and lamps, living room locations for entertainment systems and lighting, home office positions for computers and equipment, hallway power for vacuum cleaners and appliances, and utility areas for washing machines and dryers. Power points are typically installed 300-450mm above floor level, with kitchen benchtop outlets at 1100mm. We ensure adequate spacing between outlets and can install as many power points as your circuits safely support. For older homes requiring complete rewiring, see our house rewiring services.

Kitchen Power Point Installation

Kitchens have the highest power point requirements in modern homes. Our kitchen power point installations include benchtop power points every 1200mm for small appliances, rangehood dedicated circuit and isolator switch, dishwasher power point with accessible isolation, refrigerator dedicated outlet, microwave power point at appropriate height, and under-cabinet power points for additional convenience. We ensure kitchen power points comply with clearance requirements from sinks and cooktops, use appropriate splash-proof designs where needed, and install dedicated circuits for high-power appliances. For comprehensive kitchen electrical work, see our installation services.

Outdoor and Weatherproof Power Points

Outdoor power points require special weatherproof designs rated for external use. We install outdoor power points for alfresco dining and entertaining areas, pool and spa equipment power, garden lighting and feature power, driveway and garage external power, workshop and shed power supply, and electric vehicle charging preparation. All outdoor power points use IP66-rated weatherproof enclosures, include appropriate circuit protection, and are positioned to avoid water pooling or spray exposure. Outdoor installations must be protected by RCD safety switches. For outdoor lighting power, see our LED lighting services. Need urgent repairs? Contact our emergency electrician.

Specialist Power Point Solutions

USB Charging Power Points

USB integrated power points provide convenient device charging without adapters. These modern outlets include standard power sockets plus USB-A and USB-C charging ports, eliminating bulky phone chargers, fast charging capabilities for compatible devices, and space-saving design freeing up standard outlets. USB power points are ideal for bedrooms, home offices, kitchens, and living areas where frequent device charging occurs. We can replace existing power points with USB-integrated versions or install new USB outlets as part of renovation or new construction projects.

Dedicated Appliance Circuits

High-power appliances require dedicated electrical circuits to prevent overloading. We install dedicated power point circuits for air conditioning units with appropriate cable sizing, electric ovens and cooktops, washing machines and dryers, dishwashers and waste disposal units, refrigerators and freezers, and hot water systems and pool equipment. Dedicated circuits ensure appliances receive stable power supply, prevent nuisance circuit breaker trips, and comply with appliance manufacturer requirements. For complete appliance installations, see our electrical installation services. Ceiling fans also require dedicated power - see our ceiling fan installation services.

Home Office Power Point Solutions

Home offices require comprehensive power point planning for computers, monitors, printers, networking equipment, desk lighting, and device charging. Our home office power installations include multiple desk-level power points, under-desk cable management power strips, wall-mounted outlets at appropriate heights, dedicated circuits for computer equipment, and surge-protected power points for sensitive electronics. We position power points to minimise cable clutter and provide adequate outlets for current and future equipment needs.

Power Point Installation Process

1. Assessment and Planning

We begin by assessing your power point requirements including identifying where additional outlets are needed, reviewing existing electrical circuit capacity, determining optimal positioning for convenience, checking compliance with current regulations, and recommending appropriate power point types. This assessment ensures installations will be safe, compliant, and meet your needs.

2. Circuit Verification

Before installing additional power points, we verify your electrical circuits can safely handle increased load including calculating circuit capacity and existing load, testing circuit protection devices, checking cable sizing adequacy, and verifying earthing system integrity. If circuits are at capacity, we recommend installing new dedicated circuits or upgrading your switchboard. For switchboard capacity upgrades, see our switchboard upgrade services.

3. Installation

Our electricians complete power point installations professionally including running cables through walls or surface-mounted conduit, installing power point outlets at correct heights, connecting cables with secure terminations, fitting appropriate cover plates and finishing, and testing all installations thoroughly. We use neat cable routing to minimise wall cutting and repair plasterwork where required. For complete home electrical safety, we also recommend smoke alarm installations to protect your family.

4. Testing and Handover

All power point installations are tested before handover including polarity verification, earth continuity testing, insulation resistance testing, and RCD trip time verification where applicable. We provide compliance certification and ensure you understand operation of any special features like USB charging ports. For comprehensive electrical safety checks, consider our safety inspection services.

Power Point Types and Options

Standard Power Points

Australian standard power points come in single and double outlet configurations. We install horizontal and vertical double power points, switched or unswitched outlets, surface-mounted or flush-mounted designs, and various colour options to match décor. Standard power points suit most residential and commercial applications.

Specialised Power Points

Specialist power points serve specific purposes including extra-low-voltage power points for safety, isolated power points for medical equipment, explosion-proof power points for hazardous areas, and high-amperage power points for equipment. We install appropriate power point types based on your specific requirements.

Smart Power Points

Modern power points integrate with home automation systems allowing remote control via smartphone, scheduling and timer functions, energy monitoring and tracking, and voice control integration. Smart power points suit modern homes with automation systems or anyone wanting greater control over electrical devices. If you have existing faulty power points, see our electrical repair services.
