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.

Install 3 x DC ceiling fans + light kits, replace 3 wall switches

$700

Footscray VIC 3011, Australia

31st Aug 2026

Licensed A-grade electrician needed to install 3 x FanForce Revo DC ceiling fans with LED light kits in a double-storey home in Footscray. Fans and light kits are already on site. I need labour plus supply of switch mechs/plates. These are DC fans with no wall control (remote and Wi-Fi app only). Every existing rotary fan speed controller/dimmer must be changed to a plain on/off isolation switch. 1. Living room (ground floor), 48" fan. Straight swap for an existing 4-blade AC fan on a short downrod, flat ceiling. 2. Study/office (ground floor), 36" fan. Replaces a decorative glass pendant on a rotary dimmer. I've seen older photos of this room show a fan installed here at some point, but please do not assume the existing fixing is fan-rated. There is no roof space above this ceiling (bedrooms above), so it can't be reached from above. The old pendant is being binned. 3. Bedroom (first floor), 36" fan. Replaces an existing 3-blade AC fan, flat ceiling, roof space above with manhole access. The wall controller is broken and the plate can't be screwed back on (see photo). Whatever this needs to be made good, please include it. Also: - Test each fan before leaving (speeds, reverse, light, dimming). - Flag anything needing rectification and quote it separately. - No rubbish removal needed, just stack it in one corner. - Vic A-grade licence/REC, please include your number in your offer, and a Certificate of Electrical Safety on completion. - Bring your own ladder, tools and switch mechs/plates. Product: FanForce Revo, 2 x 36" (FF10431-WH) and 1 x 48", white, each with the 24W LED light kit. Manual: https://www.fanforceaustralia.com.au/s/FANFORCE-REVO-INSTRUCTION-MANUAL-FINAL.pdf Install video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhJ9oPcVZAE Photos attached. Budget is for the straightforward work; if the study/office point needs new fan-rated fixing, say so in your offer.

Replace 3 oyster lights and fix switches

$100

Tarneit VIC 3029, Australia

17th Jun 2026

I have 3 oyster lights that have gone bad. I'm preferring to replace it with regular E27 screw-in LED globe so future globe replacements can be done by the tenant. Also need to fix 4 switches that are either broken or are not functioning. If you're suggesting to replace with downlights - let me know how many downlights for one oyster light are you willing to replace? One won't be enough as it'd be low lighting for the area.

Don't negotiate with him, he gets offended. Well mate if the price doesn't work for you, then don't entertain. Just say you can't go below your price. Either you get the job or you don't. Next time don't bad mouth the owner infront of the tenant.
