04 Installation

Power point and switch installation

New power points, double USB outlets and switches installed on a properly rated circuit, not just wherever is closest.

Price
$95 to $240
Typical duration
30 to 90 min per point

Whether it is a single replacement outlet, a new double point for a home office, or a run through the wall cavity for a kitchen island, we check the circuit it will sit on before we install anything, not just the wall it will sit in. Every new point is tested and load rated before we leave.

What is included

  • Circuit assessed for capacity before any new point is added
  • Outlet, USB point or switch supplied and installed
  • New cable runs concealed through wall or ceiling cavities where practical
  • Point tested under load once installed
  • Off-cuts and packaging taken with us
A screwdriver working on an open power point recessed into the wall
Checked on the circuit it will sit on, not just the wall.

03Asked often

Before you book

If your question is not here, it is probably on the FAQ page, and if it is not there either, ring and ask.

Can you add power points to a kitchen island or a home office?

Yes, provided there is a circuit nearby with the capacity to take it, which we check before we quote. If the nearest circuit is already loaded we will say so and price the alternative.

Do you install USB power points?

Yes, including the higher output USB-C points that will actually fast charge a laptop rather than just a phone. We carry the common finishes on the van.

Will you patch the wall after running new cable?

We make good any access we needed to get the cable through. A full paint match is outside our scope, but the patch will be clean and ready for your painter.
