Dump your wall chargers!
Power points now come with USB and USB-C outlets - meaning you can easily charge a wide range of devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops/ It’s a streamlined approach to reduce clutter but also ensures faster, more efficient charging for newer devices that rely on USB-C’s higher power capabilities. Especially important for the home office as USB-C becomes increasingly standard.

Reduce PowerPoint Overload
Installing a dedicated power point instead of backing power boards on power boards offers a safe, reliable and convenient source of power. Power Points are a direct and stable connection to your home’s electrical system, reducing the risk of overloading circuits or causing electrical faults. Making sure you have the right number of power points eliminates the tangle of cords and potential tripping hazards associated with power boards and maximises electricalsafety.

Replace old for new
Replace those old yellowed power or light switches for modern alternatives.
A relatively quick fix that not increases aesthetics and creates a safer electrical outlet. Older outlets can become worn out or damaged over time, increasing the risk of loose connections, sparks, or electrical faults. New power points often come with built-in safety features like surge protection, or RCD (residual current device) capabilities.

Don’t forget the Landscape.
It’s easy to forget that you need power outlets outside - that is until you are outside and need one. With our modern portability it’s common to want to power up a device while you’re sitting outside - a laptop, a phone, a movie projector. You’ll also need sone to plug in your outdoor fridge, power up your karcher, run your spa or pool pump, and connect those portable christmas lights.
And, yes, they also come with USB/USC!
FAQ’s
Commonly asked Electrical Questions
-
1oo% yes! You need an electrician to install power points because the process involves working directly with your home’s electrical system, which can be dangerous if not done correctly. A licensed electrician has the expertise to safely connect the wiring, ensure proper grounding, and test the installation to make sure it complies with electrical codes and standards. Their knowledge reduces the risk of faults, shocks, or fires, and protects your home and appliances from potential damage.
-
“Piggybacking” power boards—that is, plugging one power board into another—is hazardous for several reasons. First, it significantly increases the load on the original outlet, which may lead to overheating, melted wiring, and even electrical fires. Each power board and outlet is designed to handle a specific current limit, and adding multiple boards can exceed that capacity. Second, it often results in tangled cords and reduced airflow around the plugs, which further elevates the risk of heat buildup. Finally, this practice can create unstable connections, increasing the likelihood of electrical faults, short circuits, or even shocks. In short, stacking power boards poses a serious safety threat and should be avoided.
-
A typical power point installation can take anywhere from 1 to 2 hours, depending on several factors. For a straightforward replacement—where an existing outlet exists, it might only take 30 minutes. If it’s a new installation requiring the electrician to run wiring or install a switch it will take closer to 1 - 2 hours. The overall time also depends on the complexity of the job such as the height, type of wall (brick, plaster etc)
-
For a straightforward replacement or new install on an existing circuit, the cost is between $150 to $250.
