POWER POINT SERVICES
Double, USB, Outdoor and Specialty Power Points
From a simple swap to a new circuit for a cooktop, these are the power point jobs Newcastle homes book most.
02
USB-A & USB-C Power Points
Charge phones, tablets and watches without plug packs taking up sockets. USB outlets fit a standard double-outlet space, while higher-output USB-C models can also charge some laptops beside a desk or bed.
03
Outdoor & Weatherproof Outlets
Power decks, sheds and alfresco areas with suitable weatherproof outlets and safety-switch protection. Covers are selected for the location, with UV-stable materials and corrosion-resistant fixings considered for coastal homes.
04
Power Point Relocation
Move an outlet from behind furniture or position it neatly behind a wall-mounted TV. Cable is extended or re-run, and the old opening is blanked or patched ready for painting.
05
15 Amp & Three-Phase Outlets
Supply higher-demand equipment with the right outlet, cable and circuit. Options include 15 amp points for suitable equipment and three-phase outlets for workshop machinery where a three-phase supply is available.
06
Oven & Cooktop Connections
Connect a new oven or cooktop with the correct isolation and circuit capacity. Induction upgrades are checked before the appliance arrives, including whether the switchboard needs space or additional protection.
07
Cracked, Loose or Scorched Outlet Replacement
Cracked faceplates, loose sockets and scorch marks need attention. We replace the outlet and check the wiring behind it for heat damage. For dead outlets, read our guide; for smoking or sparking, call urgently.

POWER WHERE YOU NEED IT
Power Point Installation and Repair for Newcastle Homes
Phones, laptops, kitchen appliances and TV equipment can quickly outgrow the outlets in an older home. Extra power boards and extension leads create clutter and can overload an ageing circuit.
New points go where you actually plug things in, on a circuit with capacity to spare. One licensed electrician plans, wires and tests each outlet for homes, rentals and small shops.
PLAN YOUR PLACEMENT
Where Extra Power Points Make the Biggest Difference
A little planning keeps power boards out of the way and outlets close to the things you use.
Bedheads, TV walls and home offices
Position outlets around furniture and daily routines, so leads stay hidden and walkways stay clear.
- A double with USB on each side of the bed keeps chargers within reach.
- An outlet behind the TV hides cables, with another below for media equipment.
- At least two doubles at desk height make home-office equipment easier to connect.

CHECKED BEFORE INSTALLATION
Will Your Circuit Handle More Power Points?
Adding outlets is only part of the job. The circuit behind them must be able to carry the load.
If the switchboard needs more room or protection, the options are explained before work starts.
01
Load, Not Just Outlet Count
We check what runs on the circuit day to day. Several high-demand appliances can overload a circuit even when there are spare sockets.
02
Safety Switch Protection
New outlets need the correct circuit protection. Older homes are checked for circuits that lack a safety switch.
03
Dedicated Circuits
Ovens, cooktops, air conditioners and workshop or pool equipment may need a separate circuit to avoid overloading shared supplies.
04
Switchboard Capacity
A new circuit needs room and appropriate protection at the board. Any required upgrade is included in the discussion before work begins.
Neat wiring and useful outlet positions, checked before handover
DONE PROPERLY
What a Power Point Job Done Right Looks Like
Useful positions, suitable circuits and tidy work throughout.
Placed for How You Use the Room
Heights and positions suit your furniture and appliances. Leads reach comfortably, chargers stay accessible and TV cables can sit behind the screen.
No Overloaded Circuits
Extra points are added only where the circuit can carry the load. A dedicated circuit is recommended when the existing one is near its limit.
Minimal Wall Repairs
Roof and floor access is used wherever possible. Any unavoidable chasing or patching is explained in the quote.
Several Points in One Visit
List all the outlets you need, inside and out. Quoting them together reduces repeated travel and setup compared with separate call-outs.

BEFORE YOU BOOK
Answers to Common Power Point Questions
Call or send your details if you have another question.
How much does it cost to install a power point in Newcastle?
The biggest factors are how many points you need, whether cable can reach them through the roof or under the floor, the wall type, the outlet style, and whether a new circuit is required. Swapping a single for a double on the same box is the simplest job, and adding several points in one visit keeps the cost per outlet down. A written quote is given before any work starts.
Can an electrician install a power point anywhere?
Almost anywhere you need one. The limits are wet-area zones near showers, baths and taps, whether the circuit has capacity, and how hard it is to get cable into the wall. Outdoor outlets are fine as long as they’re weatherproof and on a safety switch.
What is a 15 amp power point used for?
A 15 amp power point supplies equipment that draws more than a standard outlet can, such as larger air conditioners, welders, pool heat pumps and caravans. The plug has a wider earth pin, so it won’t fit a normal 10 amp socket, and the outlet needs a circuit and cable rated for the higher current.
Can I replace a power point myself in NSW?
No. Replacing a power point is electrical wiring work, and in NSW it must be carried out by a licensed electrician, even for a straight swap. Unlicensed work can attract heavy fines and may cause problems with your home insurance if something goes wrong.
Can new power points go in without cutting into walls?
Usually, yes. In most homes, cable is fed down from the ceiling or up from under the floor inside the wall cavity, so the only opening is for the outlet itself. Double brick and concrete walls can need a small chase, which is planned and quoted upfront.
Can a single power point be changed to a double?
In most cases, yes. A double outlet usually fits the existing wall box, so the swap is quick and needs no new cable. If the box or wiring behind it is old or damaged, that’s fixed at the same time.
