Q. What is a power point?
A. A power point (wall outlet/socket) is the fitting that supplies mains electricity so you can plug in appliances, chargers and tools. We can install or upgrade a range of options, including single and double outlets, USB power points, weatherproof outlets and higher-rated power points where needed.
Q. Can I install or replace a power point myself?
A. No — in Queensland, power points must be installed or replaced by a licensed electrician. DIY electrical work is unsafe and illegal, and it can also void insurance if something goes wrong. We make sure everything is compliant with the AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules and properly tested.
Q. How long does it take to install a power point?
A. Most standard installs take around 30 minutes to 1 hour. If access is tricky (brick walls, unusual locations, or extra cabling), it can take longer — we’ll explain what’s involved and confirm timing before we start.
Q. Where can power points be installed?
A. In most cases, we can add power points in nearly any room or area, including kitchens, living spaces, bedrooms, home offices, garages and outdoor areas (using weatherproof fittings). The best location comes down to how you use the space, safe clearances, and the easiest compliant cabling pathway.
Q. Do you install USB power points?
A. Yes. USB power points are great for charging phones, tablets and small devices without bulky adapters. They’re a popular upgrade for bedrooms, kitchens and study areas, and we’ll help you choose a quality option that suits how you charge day-to-day.
Q. Can I replace an old power point with a new one?
A. Yes — and it’s often a worthwhile upgrade if the existing outlet is loose, cracked, discoloured, or simply not meeting your needs. We can replace like-for-like or upgrade to modern styles (including USB or weatherproof options) and make sure the wiring and connections are safe.
Q. How many power points should I have in each room?
A.It depends on how the room is used. As a guide, it’s better to have enough outlets placed where you actually need them than rely on power boards and extension leads everywhere. We can help plan practical placement to reduce clutter and avoid overloading circuits.
Q. What types of power points are available?
A. There are plenty of options, including standard single and double outlets, USB charging outlets, slimline/modern styles, outdoor weatherproof outlets, and smart outlets that can be controlled by app or voice. If you tell us what you’re powering (and where), we can recommend the best fit.
