What do sockets and switches installation services include?

Trained and certified electricians work on socket and light switch installation tasks so you won't have to compromise you and your home's overall safety. They can assemble wirings and cable, connect them to power sources, and inspect if the electricity is flowing adequately right after. Thinking of booking our switch installation service? Here's what you can expect:

Powerpoint installation

Before installing your appliances, it's crucial to secure enough power points to support the electricity flow. Electricians can help you plan, install, and replace or add powerpoints to maximise your area. They start by inspecting your place to identify specific spots where you'll likely need power sockets. The installation process typically involves:

  • unscrewing the cover plates
  • retesting the power source
  • connecting extra cables to existing electrical outlets and stretching them to different locations
  • rewiring cables to the new electrical socket or powerpoint
  • Light switch installation

Light switches are responsible for connecting your electrical lights to the power source. If you need to replace an existing light switch, your electrician can disconnect them for you. Keep in mind, however, that the replacement switch needs to have the same functionality as the old one.

We can help install new light switches if you're in the process of building a new home or renovating your bathroom or kitchen. The process mostly involves rewiring and connecting new cables to the power source and mounting new faceplates. In case you want multi-purpose electrical lights, you can also request for dimmer switch installation.

Outdoor electrical socket installation

Professional electricians can also install outdoor sockets on your balcony, patio, or turf. This way, it's easier and safer to connect your appliances, especially if you're planning to have an outdoor kitchen or barbeque area. 

It's also essential to consider the size of the landscape area, the structure conditions, and all the equipment you're planning to utilise. Electricians can handle the drill, connect cables from indoor to outdoor wall, and rewire your new outdoor electrical outlets accordingly.

Install panel heater incl new electrical socket.

$200

Richmond VIC 3121, Australia

25th Sep 2024

We're looking for a registered, insured electrician with high quality workmanship to install a small new Nobo 750W panel wall heater in our bathroom (see photo). There is no powerpoint, so a new one will need to be installed. There is trapdoor roof access just above the bathroom to access the electrics from above. The backing wall behind the heater is a cavity sliding door, so the socket may need to be installed on the adjacent wall, and a few holes may need to be made to feed it through. The nearest powerpoint is on the same outer wall behind the cavity slider wall. It is not possible to drill outside/ no external conduit, needs to stay internal. The heating panel will also need to be mounted using the included wall bracket. The laundry (with 2 power points) is next door to the bathroom, and the switchboard is across the hallway from the laundry (see photos). Trap door access to the roof and wall cavities from above is directly above the laundry. Single story house. External cabling with conduit not possible, needs to come through internal walls. Please quote including GST and all materials (and comment with an additional estimate for fittings). Job date is flexible.
