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.

Replacing Zimi Switches with Shelly Switches
$500
Docklands VIC 3008, Australia
18th Nov 2025
I have five zimi light switches to be replaced by shelly switches. The shelly switches will require a neutral wire and I don't believe that there is a neutral wire present. I have attached photos of the 4 zimi switches (clustered together). One is a three way configuration for the stairs (pictured separately) One is a regular light switch, not zimi. Will need new faceplates, ideally that can provided by you as I have no idea how to size or install. Happy to take a call to discuss particulars once details sorted.

Installing Smart Switches and Replacing Faceplates
$500
Southbank VIC, Australia
2nd Sep 2025
I have some light switches that need face plates replaced, and a shelly smart switch installed behind them. There are: Two switches in the bedroom 1 the control one set of lights, with a dimmer. Two switches in bedroom 2 of the same setup (both control the same lights with a dimmer on one). Two bathroom switches, each control different lights but one controls a fan A further single switch in the entryway which controls one set of lights without a dimmer. Ideally you would provide parts and labor so it would be an all inclusive price. Quote is for this work and not work below which could be discussed. I'd also be interested in knowing how much it would cost to insert Sconce lights into the wall and integrate this also with shelly switches. Further, I am interested in knowing how much hanging lights over the counter in our kitchen would cost.
Mathew was an honest and reliably young lad that did a great job on our place and I would recommend him to others.
