Power points and new circuits
Not enough outlets means power boards and extension leads everywhere, which is how overloaded circuits and fires start. We add the points you need where you need them, and new circuits for appliances that deserve their own.

Short answer
Adding a double power point to an existing circuit in Sydney typically costs $120 to $250. A new dedicated circuit for an oven, air conditioner or workshop typically costs $350 to $800, depending on the cable run and switchboard space.
Most rooms in older homes have one or two outlets. Today’s kitchens, home offices and entertainment areas need far more. We can add double power points, replace old ones with USB-C outlets, and fit weatherproof points outside.
Big loads such as ovens, induction cooktops, air conditioners, pool pumps and workshop machines should run on their own circuit. We check your switchboard capacity before quoting so there are no surprises.

What it costs
Wall type and how the cable gets there matter more than the outlet itself.

| Additional double power point (existing circuit) | $120–$250 | Wall type, ceiling or underfloor access |
| Replace outlet with USB-C combination outlet | $110–$200 | Outlet model |

| New dedicated circuit (oven, AC, pool pump) | $350–$800 | Cable size and length, board space |
| Power to a shed or granny flat (sub-main) | $900–$3,000+ | Distance, trenching, sub-board |
How the job runs
- 01Tell us what you’re plugging inThe appliance and its rating decide whether an existing circuit can take it.
- 02Check the board and routeWe confirm switchboard space and the easiest cable path, through the ceiling or under the floor.
- 03InstallNeat flush-mounted outlets where possible, with minimal patching.
- 04Test and certifyEvery new circuit is tested and covered by a compliance certificate.
Doing it safely
Each new circuit is protected by a circuit breaker and a safety switch, sized to the cable and the load. Outdoor outlets are weatherproof rated and RCD protected.
We avoid overloading existing circuits. If an outlet would push a circuit beyond its rating, we’ll recommend a new circuit instead and explain why.
FAQ
Common questions
Straight answers to what customers ask us most. Can’t see yours? Call us and talk to an electrician, not a call centre.
Can I just use a power board instead?
For a lamp and a phone charger, yes. For heaters, kettles, air fryers or anything with a motor, plugging into power boards overloads outlets and is a common cause of fires.
Can you install a power point in a brick wall?
Yes. We chase the brick neatly or run the cable from the ceiling and use a surface-mount block where chasing would cause too much damage. We’ll tell you which before we start.
Do I need a new circuit for an induction cooktop?
Almost always. Most induction cooktops need a dedicated 32 A circuit or larger. We check your board and supply before quoting.
