Extra Power Point Electrical Outlets

With the growing use of technology in homes, the demand for electrical outlets has significantly increased. Overloading a single socket can put unnecessary strain on your electrical system, leading to potential hazards. Installing additional power points in key areas of your home, such as the living room or kitchen, can make your home safer and more appliance-friendly.

FAQs About Power Point Installation

When Should You Replace Your Power Point Socket?

Power point sockets should be replaced when they no longer perform correctly, such as failing to securely hold a plug or showing visible damage. Generally, power points have a lifespan of around 20 years, but this can vary depending on use. If you suspect your socket is worn or damaged, it’s best to have it replaced by a licensed electrician.

What Are the Different Kinds of Power Points?

In Australia, the most common types of power points are:

• Single power points – These are used when space is limited.
• Double power points – These are the most common, designed to accommodate two appliances simultaneously.
• Power points with an additional switch – These help reduce clutter by allowing you to control lights or fans from the same outlet.

Our electricians will advise you on the best type of power point for your needs.

What Should I Do If My Power Outlets Aren’t Working But My Lights Are On?

If your power outlets aren’t working but the lights are still functioning, check if the circuit breaker has tripped. If so, reset it by turning it off and then on again. If this doesn’t resolve the issue, contact one of our electricians for an inspection.

What Are the Standard Power Outlets in Australia?

Australia uses 3-pin power outlets rated at 10 amps, which are suitable for most household appliances. The standard voltage is 240V at 50Hz.

How Many Electrical Power Points Do I Need?

The number of power points required depends on the size and layout of your home and how many electrical appliances you have. Our electricians can assess your property and provide a recommendation for the number of outlets that will meet your needs.
