Powerpoint Installation

Are your powerpoints looking a little worse for wear? Or maybe you’re interested in upgrading to a more modern powerpoint or adding in some extra ones? Whatever your reason for wanting a new powerpoint, the team at Upside Down is here to help.

Installing a Powerpoint

Do you have enough power points in your home? With more and more gadgets and devices in the home, many of us are finding that we need extra powerpoints than we initially thought.

Installing more powerpoints is a simple and easy process a qualified electrician can do to enhance your home.

Powerpoints should only ever be installed by fully licensed electricians. A licensed electrician from Upside Down can perform any and all powerpoint services:

  • Repair existing powerpoints
  • Upgrade old powerpoints
  • Install additional powerpoints
  • Test power all powerpoints for safety

With many of us making the move to work from home, there’s never been a better time to upgrade to new powerpoints. There’s more to powerpoint upgrades these days than simply going from a single to a double powerpoint.

Modern powerpoints come in a range of different finishes so you can style them to suit your home. They come with more than just a place to plug the standard cord in too, with USB-A and USB-C points for easy use.

An electrician from Upside Down can install all types of power outlets to meet your electrical needs.

How to Install a Powerpoint

Only a licensed electrician can install a powerpoint. When it comes to live electricity and wiring, there’s a lot of room for error if done incorrectly.

By incorrectly, we’re talking about electrical fires and electrocution, so this job is best left to the professionals.

Here’s how a skilled and experienced electrician will install your new powerpoint:

  1. Turn off power to the circuit where the new powerpoint will be installed.
  2. Conduct a live electrical test to ensure no power is running through the circuit.
  3. Remove the existing wall plate if upgrading an old powerpoint.
  4. Identify the current wiring setup so the new powerpoint is installed appropriately.
  5. Connect the new wiring.
  6. Install the new powerpoint to the wall and secure it in place.
  7. Conduct a safety test to check all is working correctly.
  8. Reconnect power back to the circuit.

You’ll be left with a safe and compliant powerpoint that will last you for years to come.

FAQ – All Your Powerpoint Questions Answered

Do you have any questions about powerpoints? We can answer all your questions.

You should replace a powerpoint at the first sign of damage or electrical fault. If the outlet cover is cracked or there are visible scorch marks around the socket, replacement is necessary. If you notice sparking when inserting a plug, contact a licensed electrician at Upside Down to investigate the issue further. Your wiring could well be damaged or faulty.

A faulty powerpoint outlet is one of the most common causes of an electrical fire. Age can be a contributing factor as the wiring breaks down and becomes hazardous. Overloaded powerpoints, powerboards or old appliances are also a serious risk. Damaged, worn or frayed appliances, powerpoints and power cords should never be used. The risk of an electrical fire is too high.

Socket and outlet mean the same thing. Essentially, they are two sides of the same coin. Some would say a socket is where you plug in another object. That’s why there are power sockets and light sockets. But an outlet is something electricity comes out of − hence the power outlet. Both meanings are used for the same powerpoint. It can certainly be confusing but both words refer to the same object.

Definitely. All new devices such as mobile phones, tablets, smart watches and more require USB points to charge. They are also increasingly not coming with adapters. The addition of a USB powerpoint (or several) to the home provides an easy way for you to charge devices. There’s no need to hunt for an old adapter which is shared around, or to unplug the laptop which is on 10%. Instead, you can charge a phone alongside other appliances, fast and efficiently.
