Power Point Installation FAQs
Can I replace a power point myself?
No. In most of Australia it is illegal for unlicensed people to replace or install power points.
A licensed electrician must do this work to meet safety and legal requirements.
How many power points should each room have?
It depends on how you use the room, but many homes benefit from more outlets than they currently have.
Electricians can suggest practical locations based on furniture, media units, desks and beds.
Are USB outlets worth installing?
USB outlets can reduce clutter from chargers and free up normal outlets for other devices.
They are popular near kitchen benches, living areas and bedside tables.
What should I include when posting a power point job?
List how many new outlets you want, what rooms they are in, whether the walls are brick or plasterboard
and if you prefer standard, vertical, USB or special styles.
