POWERPOINT INSTALLATION SYDNEY
Not enough power points is one of the most common complaints we hear from homeowners across the Northern Beaches and North Shore. Whether you're tired of running extension leads, renovating a room, setting up a home office or upgrading your kitchen, adding new power points is a straightforward job for a licensed electrician — and makes a real difference to how you use your home.
Plateau Electrical installs new power points (GPOs) in all areas of your home, including:
- Living areas and bedrooms
- Home offices
- Kitchens and laundries
- Garages and workshops
- Outdoor entertaining areas and alfresco spaces
We run all cables through walls and ceiling cavities wherever possible, giving you a neat, professional finish with no unsightly conduit on your walls.

TYPES OF POWERPOINTS WE INSTALL
Standard indoor power points
The most common request — adding a new double GPO in a living area, bedroom, hallway or home office. We'll run cable from the nearest suitable circuit and match your existing switch plates where possible for a seamless finish.
Outdoor and weatherproof GPOs
Outdoor power points need to be properly rated for weather exposure. We install IP-rated weatherproof GPOs for pergolas, alfresco areas, garden walls, sheds and garages — with safety switches as required by Australian Standards.
USB and USB-C combo outlets
Modern USB combo GPOs let you charge devices directly from the wall without a bulky adaptor — a popular upgrade in bedrooms, home offices and kitchens. We install models with USB-A, USB-C and combined ports to suit your devices.
Kitchen and laundry bench outlets
Benchtop areas in older homes rarely have enough GPOs. Whether you're adding points for appliances, an island bench or a laundry setup, we'll find the best placement and run dedicated circuits where required.

HOW WE INSTALL NEW POWER POINTS
One of the things homeowners most often comment on after a Plateau Electrical job is how neat the result looks — and that matters to us as much as it does to you.
For new power point installations, our standard approach is to run cable through the wall cavity and ceiling space. No surface-mounted conduit, no unsightly cable runs down your walls. We cut a clean hole for the new outlet, route the cable back to the nearest appropriate circuit, and leave the site tidy.
In situations where in-wall runs aren't practical — such as solid brick walls or obstructed ceiling spaces — we'll discuss the best alternative before we start so you know exactly what to expect.
Every power point installation includes:
- Quality outlet with matching face plate
- Cable run through wall and ceiling cavity (standard)
- Connection to an appropriate circuit or new circuit from the switchboard
- Full test and sign-off
- Certificate of Compliance where required
- Lifetime workmanship guarantee

POWERPOINT INSTALLATION FAQ
Can I install a power point myself in NSW?
No. Adding a new power point involves connecting to fixed wiring, which is electrical work that must be performed by a licensed electrician in NSW. DIY electrical work is illegal, voids your home insurance and is a serious safety risk.
How much does it cost to add a power point in Sydney?
Cost depends on the location and how the cable needs to be run. A straightforward addition to an existing circuit in a timber-framed home is the most affordable option. Jobs requiring a new circuit from the switchboard or involving difficult cable runs cost more. We provide a fixed upfront quote before starting.
How many power points should each room have?
Most homes benefit from more than the minimum required by Australian Standards. Bedrooms typically need 2–4 double GPOs depending on use. Living areas and home offices benefit from 4–6. If you're regularly using extension leads or power boards, that's a clear sign you need more points.
Can you add an outdoor power point?
Yes — weatherproof outdoor GPOs are one of the most popular additions we install. They're essential for outdoor entertaining areas, garden tools, EV charging and more. Outdoor points must be IP-rated and protected by a safety switch (RCD) as required by Australian Standards.
How long does powerpoint installation take?
Adding one or two points to an existing circuit typically takes 1–2 hours. Larger jobs involving multiple outlets or new circuits take longer. We'll give you an accurate timeframe when we quote.
Will adding a power point damage my walls?
Our goal is always minimal disruption. We run cables through wall cavities so the only cutting is the neat outlet hole itself. In most cases, a light sand and touch-up of paint is all that's needed — no major patching required.
