The cost of installing a powerpoint varies depending on:

Type of powerpoint you want installed

Basic, USB, smart, or weatherproof powerpoints cost differently based on features and materials needed.

Location of the installation

Easily accessible areas cost less. Hard-to-reach places or those needing extra work, like wall changes, cost more.

Condition of existing outlet or wiring

If wiring is damaged, additional work may increase the cost of installing your new powerpoint.

New installation vs. replacement

Installing a new powerpoint usually involves more work, like running new wiring. Replacing an old or damaged powerpoint is generally simpler and less labour-intensive.

Electrical outlet repair and replacement: signs it’s time to upgrade your powerpoints

Powerpoints are vital to your home’s electrical system, but they don’t last forever. Here’s when to consider upgrading:

Discolouration or burn marks

Burn marks or discolouration mean overheating or electrical faults. Replace these immediately to avoid safety risks like fires.

Buzzing sounds or sparking

Buzzing or sparks when using powerpoints often signal internal damage or poor wiring. Upgrading improves safety and reliability.

Loose or wobbly powerpoints

Loose sockets can cause poor connections, shocks, or faults. Replace them with securely fitted powerpoints for better safety.

Insufficient outlets for your needs

Using too many powerboards or extension cords? Upgrade to double powerpoints or USB sockets for more convenience and less clutter.

No safety features

Older powerpoints may lack surge protection or tamper resistance. Upgrade to modern designs for improved safety and appliance protection.

Age of the powerpoints

Old powerpoints may not meet today’s safety standards. Replacing them ensures compliance and better efficiency.

Renovations or redesigns

Renovating? Upgrade powerpoints to match your new décor or improve functionality with modern, USB-integrated designs.

Powerpoint and electrical outlet FAQ

Why does an electrical outlet stop working?

This is a rare scenario but it does require further investigation. The most common causes are concerning and should be addressed promptly. A faulty powerpoint itself is likely the cause.

Why do outlets spark?

Outlets may spark when plugging or unplugging larger appliances without using the switch.

More serious causes include loose terminals at the socket or switchboard. These should be inspected by a licensed electrician immediately.

Does an electrician need to install a power point?

Yes, all electrical work in Australia must be performed by a licensed electrician.

DIY electrical work is illegal and can cause serious risks, including shocks, fires, or voided insurance due to non-compliance with safety standards.

Can you move an electrical outlet?

Yes, your electrician can certainly move a powerpoint for you.

However, depending on the requirements, it might be easier to leave the existing power outlet and add a new one for convenience.

How many watts can a 240v outlet handle?

A 240v outlet (or more correctly today, a 230v outlet) can supply a maximum of 2300 Watts or 10 Amps. A given electrical circuit may be able to supply more than this, shared between multiple points. However, the socket is only rated for 2300 Watts or 10 Amps.
