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.

Wantirna VIC, Australia

18th Mar 2024

Power went out in half of the house last night. Lights are still on, however 80% of the power sockets aren't working inside the house. One of the switches in the fuse box is turned off. I'm not able to switch it back on. I'm not sure how much to price for this job so I've put a budget of $200, but I'm happy to negotiate to make sure you're paid fairly for your time and the job required. Thanks!

Hello, We need some help connecting the telephone sockets in the house. This (hopefully!) should be a quick job. We currently have one socket in the house that works.

Electrician to change switches, power points and hang lights

$567

Sylvania NSW, Australia

21st Feb 2024

I am after an electrician that can assist with swapping out existing wall switches (old Clipsal slimline) and plugs with the new icon Clipsal. The existing frame in the gyprock walls fits the new switches. Switches are supplied. I also need four pendant lights replaced, existing wiring and pendants supplied. There are 28 Lights switches with varying gangs and 49 Power-Points throughout the house. It also seems that a a number of transformers for the down lights are either loose or out. I’d say there’s a about 6 of these. I would appreciate someone also checking if these can be fixed or need replacing. If you have the knowledge and ability to also check out /reset an Ness Security alarm (no pin or information provided by vendor) that would also be terrific.

Eri was amazing to deal with and his workmanship was excellent too. Eri helped with replacing all the PowerPoints and switches in our house and worked tirelessly until the job was done. Everything works perfectly! Will certainly be hiring him again. Thank you.

Electrician to install 4 light sockets/Philips Hue into my clinic

$150

Edgecliff NSW, Australia

15th Feb 2024

Hello, two part task: ADD NEW SWITCH Currently the lights for our room are controlled by a master switch outside. We would like to have our own switch in the room separate from the master switch. Will require a light switch for the room. PHILIPS HUE LIGHT INSTALL I need four light sockets installed and these Philips Hue downlights put into my depression treatment clinic in Edgecliff. Here are the Philips Hue lights, I am unsure of additional materials required: https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/philips-hue-colour-ambiance-bluetooth-downlight-90mm And I have included a picture of the clinic attached. They are for one room and the roof is made from the panelling you see in most older office buildings. Once set up, we would like to take out the fluorescent bulbs and have the downlights act as lighting for the room. Ideally we could cover up the fluorescent bulbs with roof tiles of which there are spares. There is only one switch to control the fluoroscent lights for the whole clinic but we want to be able to dim lights for our treatment. Unsure about hourly rate but happy to talk about what is fair. Josh - Due date: Tomorrow or Monday 19th of Feb

4x down lights installed and new switch put in
