Top Sockets and Switches Installation related questions
It's wise to install sockets in areas where you tend to use your appliances or equipment heavily. For example, you can distribute the outlets around your kitchen island for easy access. This way, you can quickly plug in your blenders, mixers, or coffee makers. Industry experts also recommend dispersing power points in your garage to support your power tools adequately.
Not necessarily. Electricians usually arrive at your doorstep, carrying the necessary tools needed for a particular service. For switch and socket installations, they'll likely require pliers, fishing tools, power drills and hammers, wire strippers, and screwdrivers. For good measure, they may need a voltage tester to inspect the electricity flow as well. In case you have any of these on-hand, you're free to lend your tools to your electrician. Otherwise, you won't have to provide anything beforehand.
If done by an expert, installations take roughly about 30 minutes. But if you need them to extend your electrical source to a new location or install more powerpoints outside your home, then it may take a whole day to complete. There are also rare occasions where they might need to visit your area the next day for further installations and testing.
Definitely! Taskers can lend a helping hand if your outlets aren't producing enough electricity to power your gadgets, or if you have noticed unusual sparks from your sockets. They can help troubleshoot issues and repair them as necessary as well. Some common socket problems include minor loose connections, worn-out receptacles, overloaded circuits, and tripping circuit breakers. If the problem is beyond repairable, they can also assist with replacing your power sockets and install a new one.
It depends on the type of installation service you need, and the regulations set by your local authorities. Usually, permits or licenses are required for new permanent wirings. They are also necessary when altering existing circuits or installing new outlets to different locations. While most minor replacements do not necessarily need special approvals, it is still advisable to get the job done by a licensed and insured electrician.
Aside from distributing electrical sockets around your house, Taskers can assist in redesigning your interior. They can also install new furniture and appliances to improve the functionality of your home. Taskers can even help you declutter your attic or storage areas, and create more usable space. If you want to build a home working station, you can also book a Tasker to set up home wifi and networking gears.

What do sockets and switches installation services include?
Trained and certified electricians work on socket and light switch installation tasks so you won't have to compromise you and your home's overall safety. They can assemble wirings and cable, connect them to power sources, and inspect if the electricity is flowing adequately right after. Thinking of booking our switch installation service? Here's what you can expect:
Powerpoint installation
Before installing your appliances, it's crucial to secure enough power points to support the electricity flow. Electricians can help you plan, install, and replace or add powerpoints to maximise your area. They start by inspecting your place to identify specific spots where you'll likely need power sockets. The installation process typically involves:
- unscrewing the cover plates
- retesting the power source
- connecting extra cables to existing electrical outlets and stretching them to different locations
- rewiring cables to the new electrical socket or powerpoint
- Light switch installation
Light switches are responsible for connecting your electrical lights to the power source. If you need to replace an existing light switch, your electrician can disconnect them for you. Keep in mind, however, that the replacement switch needs to have the same functionality as the old one.
We can help install new light switches if you're in the process of building a new home or renovating your bathroom or kitchen. The process mostly involves rewiring and connecting new cables to the power source and mounting new faceplates. In case you want multi-purpose electrical lights, you can also request for dimmer switch installation.
Outdoor electrical socket installation
Professional electricians can also install outdoor sockets on your balcony, patio, or turf. This way, it's easier and safer to connect your appliances, especially if you're planning to have an outdoor kitchen or barbeque area.
It's also essential to consider the size of the landscape area, the structure conditions, and all the equipment you're planning to utilise. Electricians can handle the drill, connect cables from indoor to outdoor wall, and rewire your new outdoor electrical outlets accordingly.

Electrician to help fix/replace three wall sockets
$140
Riverwood, New South Wales
21st Jul 2026
I need an electrician to help me fix three wall sockets in my house: - first one has two outlets and the socket is slightly loose from the wall. It seems to trip the safety switch every time I plug in my dehumidifier. Need that fixed so that I could plug in my dehumidifier without tripping the safety switch. - second one also had two outlets, one is working fine. The other one outlet when used, can cause short circuit, not sure why, so I haven’t been using that one. - third wall socket is loose. May need all three replaced. Pic of wall socket

Modernise TV/Power Outlet & Consolidate Light Switches (Licensed Elec)
$250
Potts Point NSW 2011, Australia
20th Jul 2026
Title: Modernise TV/Power Outlet & Consolidate Light Switches (Licensed Electrician) Description: I’m renovating my living room and preparing for the installation of a walnut timber feature wall. I’m looking for a licensed electrician to complete the following work and provide a clean, contemporary finish. 1. Replace Existing TV/Power/Data Outlet I’d like the existing bulky combination wall plate replaced with a modern, slimline or recessed solution. The new installation should retain: * Power outlets (4 GPOs or as recommended) * NBN FTTB DSL (RJ11) outlet for my modem * One TV coaxial outlet (for future use) The second coaxial outlet is no longer used and can be removed if appropriate. I’m happy for you to recommend the best solution (e.g. Clipsal Iconic or similar). 2. Consolidate Light Switches There are two switch plates approximately 400 mm apart. I’d like all existing switches and dimmers relocated and consolidated into a single multi-gang switch plate in the location of the current single switch. Please: * Remove the existing larger switch plate. * Extend wiring as required. * Patch and make good the redundant wall opening so it is ready for timber panelling. * Reuse existing dimmers where practical or supply compatible replacements if required. The aim is to minimise the number of visible wall plates before the timber feature wall is installed. Please provide a quote including labour and materials. Photos are attached. Happy to discuss the best solution before work commences.
