Our expert team enhances your system’s capacity while ensuring compliance with current regulations. Discover more ways to enhance electrical safety in your home for your family.
Double socket
Double sockets are the most common in homes. They allow you to power multiple devices and work well in living rooms, kitchens, and bedrooms.
Quad sockets
Quad sockets power multiple devices in high-usage areas like home offices, entertainment rooms, or kitchens with several appliances. They provide the convenience of four outlets in one location, reducing the need for extension cords and adaptors.
Outdoor sockets
Outdoor sockets are built to be weatherproof and safe. They’re perfect for gardens, patios, or anyone who needs power outside for tools or lighting.
Sockets with extra features
Modern sockets offer USB ports, smart technology, or surge protection. These are great for families, offices, or anyone needing easy charging or extra safety features.

Final pricing depends on the location, access, and wiring requirements. Contact us for a quick quote tailored to your space.
Type of power point you want installed
Basic, USB, smart, or weatherproof power points cost differently based on features and materials needed.
Location of the installation
Easily accessible areas cost less. Hard-to-reach places or those needing extra work, like wall changes, cost more.
Condition of the existing outlet or wiring
If wiring is damaged, additional work may increase the cost of installing your new power point.
New installation vs. replacement
Installing a new power point usually involves more work, like running new wiring. Replacing an old or damaged power point is generally simpler and less labour-intensive.
Electrical outlet repair and replacement: signs it’s time to upgrade your power points
Power points are vital to your home’s electrical system, but they don’t last forever. Here’s when to consider upgrading:
Discolouration or burn marks
Burn marks or discolouration mean overheating or electrical faults. Replace these immediately to avoid safety risks like fires. Explore other signs an older home may need electrical upgrades.
Buzzing sounds or sparking
Buzzing or sparks when using power points often signal internal damage or poor wiring. Upgrading improves safety and reliability. Sometimes, the root cause may lie within your switchboard. Upgrading your switchboard can further improve safety and system efficiency.
Loose or wobbly power points
Loose sockets can cause poor connections, shocks, or faults. Replace them with securely fitted power points for better safety.
Insufficient outlets for your needs
Using too many powerboards or extension cords? Upgrade to double power points or USB sockets for more convenience and less clutter.
No safety features
Older power points may lack surge protection or tamper resistance. Upgrade to modern designs for improved safety and appliance protection.
Age of the power points
Old power points may not meet today’s safety standards. Replacing them ensures compliance and better efficiency.
Renovations or redesigns
Renovating? Upgrade power points to match your new décor or improve functionality with modern, USB-integrated designs.

Power Point and Electrical Outlet FAQs
Why does an electrical outlet stop working?
This is a rare scenario, but it does require further investigation. The most common causes are concerning and should be addressed promptly. A faulty power point itself is likely the cause.
Why do outlets spark?
Outlets may spark when plugging or unplugging larger appliances without using the switch.
More serious causes include loose terminals at the socket or switchboard. These should be inspected by a licensed electrician immediately. Sparking outlets are just one of a number of common electrical emergencies eastern Melbourne homeowners face.
Does an electrician need to install a power point?
Yes, all electrical work in Australia must be performed by a licensed electrician.
DIY electrical work is illegal and can cause serious risks, including shocks, fires, or voided insurance due to non-compliance with safety standards.
Can you move an electrical outlet?
Yes, your electrician can certainly move a power point for you.
However, depending on the requirements, it might be easier to leave the existing power outlet and add a new one for convenience.
How many watts can a 240V outlet handle?
A 240V outlet (or more correctly today, a 230V outlet) can supply a maximum of 2300 Watts or 10 Amps. A given electrical circuit may be able to supply more than this, shared between multiple points. However, the socket is only rated for 2300 Watts or 10 Amps.
