Power Point Installation in Darwin.
Extra outlets, weatherproof outdoor points, USB sockets and switch replacement. Most of the cost of adding a power point is getting a licensed electrician to your door — so walk the house first, list every spot, and we will do the lot in one visit.

Walk the House Before You Ring
The single best thing you can do before enquiring is walk through and note every spot you have ever wished there was an outlet. Behind the TV, in the pantry, the home office, the outdoor area, the shed.
Adding five outlets is nothing like five times the price of adding one, because the attendance is the bulk of it. People routinely add two and then wish they had done six.
Done Properly
What separates a tidy job from a cheap one.
Made Good Afterwards
Cable run properly inside the wall where it can be, penetrations patched, no surface conduit unless there is genuinely no alternative and you have agreed.
Circuit Checked First
Adding outlets to an already-loaded circuit causes nuisance tripping later. We check what the circuit can carry before adding to it.
Outdoor Rated Correctly
Weatherproof outlets in Darwin need to actually survive a wet season, which means correct rating and proper sealing, not just a flap over the front.
Why People Call Us
Older Darwin homes were wired for a fraction of what a house runs today.
Not enough outlets
The most common reason by a distance. Extension leads and double adaptors everywhere is a sign, and a fire risk worth removing.
- Double adaptors in every room
- Extension leads run under rugs
- Kitchen bench with one outlet
- Home office running off a power board
Outdoor and shed power
Entertaining areas, sheds, pools and gardens all need weatherproof outlets rated for the conditions.
- No outlet on the patio
- Shed running off an extension lead
- Pool or pump supply
- Garden and irrigation power
Damaged or dead outlets
A cracked, discoloured or warm power point is not cosmetic. Stop using it and have it looked at.
- Cracked or broken faceplate
- Discoloured or scorched
- Warm to touch
- Plug falls out or arcs
Upgrades and modernising
USB outlets, matching faceplates and replacing painted-over switches make a surprising difference.
- USB and USB-C outlets
- Painted-over switches
- Mismatched faceplates
- Kitchen or bathroom renovation

Running Out of Circuits, Not Just Outlets?
If a house needs six more outlets it often needs more than outlets. Older Darwin boards frequently have no spare ways and circuits already carrying more than they were designed for. We will check while we are there and tell you plainly if the switchboard is the actual constraint.
I am happy with the outcome, tripping switch and power points fixed. Shane is good and professional with providing the desired outcome.— Clayton H.
Needed some electrical work done in a short time period. Shane came out, checked what needed doing, was prompt and professional. Anthony came 2 days later and did the work very professionally. Highly recommended, 10/10.— David B.
Great communication, great work, fair prices. They told us they do domestic electrical work so we’ll definitely be contacting them for future works. Highly recommended.— Alexander G.
Frequently asked questions.
What most people want to know before booking power point work.
How much does it cost to add a power point?
It depends on access, wall type, the distance back to the switchboard and whether the circuit can take it. The important thing to know is that most of the cost is attendance — adding five outlets is nothing like five times the price of adding one.
Can you add several in one visit?
Yes, and you should. Walk the house, list every location you want one, and we will quote them together. It is by far the cheapest way to do it.
Can you install outdoor power points?
Yes. Weatherproof outlets for entertaining areas, sheds, pools and gardens. Darwin’s wet season is hard on outdoor electrical, so correct rating and sealing matters.
Why has my power point stopped working?
Common causes are a tripped RCD, a loose connection in the outlet or somewhere on the circuit, or a failed outlet. If the point sparked, is warm, or is discoloured, stop using it and have it looked at properly.
Can you install USB outlets?
Yes. USB and USB-C combination outlets are a straight swap for a standard point in most cases, and they are popular in bedrooms, kitchens and home offices.
Will I need a switchboard upgrade to add more outlets?
Sometimes. If the existing circuits are already loaded or the board has no spare capacity, adding more will cause nuisance tripping. We will check while we are there and tell you plainly if that is the case.
