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.

I need an electrician to fix the light switches in our home

$5

Sydney NSW 2000, Australia

9th Jun 2025

The light switches in our unit are different from standard ones—they’re push buttons rather than traditional flip switches. Some of them are completely non-functional, while others only work intermittently. We also have a control panel at the entrance that’s meant to control all the lights in the unit, but it isn’t functioning properly either. I believe the first step would be to purchase replacement switches and arrange for installation. However, I haven’t been able to find the same type of switches online. If you’re able to provide a purchase link and let me know whether you can assist with installation, I’d really appreciate it. Additionally, I’ve already purchased a few Wi-Fi-enabled smart switches that can be controlled via mobile app. Based on the wiring shown in the photos I provided, I’d like to know whether these smart switches could be used to replace the existing ones.

I need two plug sockets replaced and the light bulb in the chandelier replaced, you’ll need to take chandelier down which will need a step ladder (I will help) and then get replacement bulb - it’s been 7 years since I changed it and can’t remember the attachment type. If you could also get the plug sockets I will refund you cash as I will likely buy wrong thing.

Great service, very pleased.

Electrician Needed to Install 9 Smart Light Switches - Sydney CBD

$400

Sydney NSW, Australia

12th Mar 2025

I need a licensed electrician to install 9 smart light switches in my apartment in the Sydney CBD. The switches do not require a neutral wire, and no additional wiring or modifications are needed — just standard replacement of existing switches. Availability: - Any weekday or weekend after 5:00 PM Please ensure you are a licensed electrician. Let me know your price and availability.

Zhifeng was punctual, professional, and easy to communicate with. He completed the smart switch installation with care, covering the floor and neatly patching minor wall gaps from the size difference between old and new switches. Each switch required minor wall trimming, which he handled patiently and thoroughly. I’m very happy with the work and would recommend him to others.

Neutral wires run to two downlight switches. Concealing of TV cables.

I don't care how it's done as long as it's cheap and nondestructive :) - I need 4-5 cables from my TV hidden behind the gyprock in my wall. I have visitor parking and this should be a very quick/easy job for an electrician :)

Electrician to fix 2 power switches & rattling ceiling fan

$150

Marrickville NSW, Australia

11th Feb 2025

There are two power switches in the kitchen that need tending too. One of the switches is a bit wobbly but still functional. The other switch keeps flicking up when pushed down - this has happened before and we usually need to get a sparky in to fix it (even after switching off all appliances and turning them back on). We also have a ceiling fan that has started making a buzzing / rattling sound. Looking for this to be fixed as well.

Very punctual and efficient!
