Double adaptors and powerboards behind the TV are a sign your home has outgrown its power points. We add new outlets, USB-C points, outdoor weatherproof power and dedicated circuits for ovens, air conditioners and pool equipment, with RCD safety switch protection on every circuit we touch.

Signs you need more power points
Most homes were wired for far fewer appliances than we use today. If any of these sound familiar, extra outlets or a new circuit will make the house safer and easier to live in.
Power point work we install
We find the right circuit for each new outlet, check it can take the extra load and test everything before we leave.
New and relocated power points
Double power points added or moved anywhere in the house, including behind wall-mounted TVs and in kitchen islands.
USB-A and USB-C outlets
Power points with built-in USB-C charging for kitchens, bedsides and studies, so phones and laptops charge without bulky plugs.
Outdoor weatherproof power
IP-rated outlets for patios, carports, pools and sheds, on RCD protected circuits and fixed securely to the wall.
Dedicated appliance circuits
New circuits for ovens, induction cooktops, air conditioners, spa and pool equipment, sized to the appliance.
How much does a new power point cost on the Gold Coast?
A new double power point on an existing circuit starts from $165, and most jobs with three or four outlets come in between $450 and $700. The price depends on how far we need to run cable, whether walls are brick or plasterboard, ceiling access and whether the circuit needs an RCD added first. You get a fixed written price before we start.

How we add power points
01
Check the circuits
We look at your switchboard and existing circuits to work out where each new outlet can safely connect.
02
Fixed written quote
You get a price for every outlet and circuit, including any RCD the circuit needs.
03
Install and patch
Cable is run through the ceiling or under the floor, outlets fitted and any access holes made good.
04
Test and certify
Every outlet is tested for polarity and earth, RCDs are trip tested and you receive your certificate.
Standards and compliance
All work is carried out by A-grade licensed electricians to AS/NZS 3000 (the Wiring Rules). New and altered circuits are protected by RCD safety switches, outdoor and wet-area outlets are IP rated, and bathroom outlets are kept out of the restricted zones around baths and showers. You receive a Certificate of Testing and Safety for every job.

What clients say about our power point work
“USB power points everywhere, finally.”
Six new double power points with USB-C in the kitchen, study and bedrooms. Clean work, drop sheets down and in and out in half a day.
Chris P.
Upper Coomera · Power points
“Outdoor power for the patio, done in a morning.”
Two weatherproof double outlets on the patio and a new circuit for the pool pump. Neat conduit runs and a clear explanation of what they had done.
Jess M.
Coomera · Power points
“No more extension lead across the garage.”
Added a double outlet and a dedicated circuit for the freezer and workbench. They checked the board first and added a safety switch to the old circuit.

FAQs
Power point questions
What we get asked most before adding outlets.
How much does it cost to add a power point?
From $165 for a new double power point on an existing circuit in a single-storey home. USB-C outlets start from $185 and outdoor weatherproof outlets from $220. Long cable runs, brick walls and two-storey access add to the price.
Can I just swap my power points for USB ones?
Yes. Swapping an existing outlet for a USB-C model is a quick job and uses the same cut-out in most walls. We check the circuit is in good condition and RCD protected while we are there.
Do new power points need a safety switch?
Yes. Under AS/NZS 3000, new and altered circuits must be protected by an RCD. If the circuit you are adding to has no safety switch, we quote one with the job.
Can you add a power point to a brick wall?
Yes. We either chase the cable into the wall and patch it, or run it in neat surface conduit if you prefer no patching. We talk you through both options before we start.
Is it safe to use powerboards permanently?
Powerboards with overload protection are fine for low-power devices like TVs and chargers. Heaters, kettles and air fryers should plug straight into a wall outlet. If you rely on powerboards everywhere, more outlets are the safer fix.
Do I need a separate circuit for my oven or air conditioner?
Most ovens, induction cooktops and larger air conditioners need a dedicated circuit from the switchboard, sized to the appliance. We check the manufacturer requirements and your board capacity as part of the quote.
