Power Points

Why you can never have enough

We all know the feeling – you go to plug in your appliance or device into a power point (also known as a GPO or General Power Outlets) but they’re all already in use.

So you have to make the decision, which item is more important?

This can cause some undesirable situations. Whether it’s unplugging someone else’s phone to charge your own (not a great idea if you want to have a peaceful household) or accidentally unplugging your air fryer to turn on the kettle and realising 10 minutes later that your food is still cold and unfried.

We can all agree any of these outcomes should be avoided at all costs. But how?

Some would say you can simply buy a power board extension and plug it in for easy access to extra socket outlets. But there are many reasons this could be a dangerous choice.

Instead, if you need them, we always recommend getting extra power points installed by a professional electrician.

  • Every home is different, so the cost can vary depending on your setup.

    For new installations, pricing is influenced by things like the distance to the nearest power source, access to the area (roof or underfloor), wall type, and how easy it is to run cabling.

    Replacing an existing power point is usually more straightforward and cost-effective.

    We also consider the type of power point required (standard, USB, weatherproof, etc.) and ensure everything is installed safely and to code.

    The best way to get an accurate price is to contact us for a assessment or quote.

  • Yes, in Australia all electrical work must be carried out by a licensed electrician. This ensures the installation is safe, compliant, and covered by insurance. DIY electrical work is not only risky, it is also illegal.

  • Yes, we can install additional power points in almost any location throughout your home or business. We’ll assess the nearest power source, access, and wall type to determine the best and safest way to complete the installation. This helps ensure a neat finish and reliable power where you need it most.

Advantages of Multiple Power Points

Having enough power points in your house is not only about safety; it is also about ensuring that you do not overload a circuit and cause a power outage or damage.

This is vitally important for older homes, or homes with very outdated electrical systems, which may not have the capacity to handle multiple appliances requiring high wattage all at once.

As such, it is vital to know if you have enough power points in your house, and where they should be placed.

Having multiple appliances requiring different wattages plugged into the same circuit is likely to trip a fuse or blow a circuit breaker. So having each item plugged into a separate outlet on an individual circuit could be beneficial and avoid the messy set up like in the picture below.
