New power points
Where there is none now. What decides the cost is the wall type and how the cable can be got there, not the socket itself.
The power board under the desk is a message. Adding points is the cheapest work we do that changes how a room feels to live in, and what decides the price is the cable run rather than the socket.
What the work covers
A power board under the desk is a message. What decides the price is the wall, the ceiling access and whether the circuit can take more.
Where there is none now. What decides the cost is the wall type and how the cable can be got there, not the socket itself.
Turning a single into a double, or adding a point on the same wall, which is usually the cheapest way to fix a power board.
Sometimes the answer is not another outlet, it is a circuit that can carry what you are plugging into it.
Bench height, appliance points and isolation where the appliance needs it, planned around the cabinetry rather than around it.
Weatherproof points, alfresco power and shed supply, specified for salt air so the seal is not the thing that fails.
Handy in a bedside or a kitchen. Worth knowing they date faster than the socket does, which we will tell you before you buy a houseful.
Running the house off power boards? Ring and tell us which rooms and what the walls are. Most of it can be priced on the phone.

Published on our Google Business Profile and reproduced word for word. The first of these mentions power point work specifically.
Luke did multiple jobs in my house. Fixed electrical points, fixed my smoke alarm, mounted and installed TVs. He was friendly, punctual and well priced. Would definitely use Luke again for future jobs in my home.
Luke did a great job and was very flexible and understanding of our needs. He listened and was very helpful in explaining answers to our questions. I would highly recommend his work.
Nextpoint Electrics were amazing to deal with from start to finish. Professional, efficient, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Highly reccomend!
Power point questions
Yes, and it is often the better answer when a bed or a bench has moved. Moving a point on the same wall is usually simple, because the cable is already in the right area. Moving it to a different wall is effectively a new point plus making good where the old one was. Tell us both positions when you ring and we will say which of those two it is.
There is no single number, and anyone who gives you one without asking what is plugged in is guessing. What matters is the load, the cable size and the protection at the board. In practice, general points around a house share circuits perfectly happily, while a garage freezer, a workshop or an appliance that runs unattended is worth its own way. We look at the board before adding to it rather than assuming there is room.
If the shed already has power, adding points inside it is usually easy. If it has none, the job is the supply to the shed rather than the point, which means a proper run out to it, protection at both ends and a decision about whether it goes overhead or underground. That is a bigger conversation and it is worth having before you buy the tools that need it.
A new point needs a hole the size of the mounting block, and that is covered by the plate. Beyond that, most runs go through the roof space or under the floor rather than through wall faces. Where a wall genuinely has to be opened, you will be told before it happens and shown where. We are not in the business of surprising people with patching.
Yes, anywhere within a short drive of Ocean Grove, including Drysdale, Torquay, Curlewis, Queenscliff and everywhere else on the service areas page. Acreage properties with sheds are worth mentioning on the phone, because the distance from the house changes the job.
Still deciding? Ring and tell us what you have got, and we will tell you what it needs.
