Power Point Installation in Evandale: What a Recent Job Looked Like

Extra power points, USB outlets and tidy switching are the small jobs that make a Evandale home far more liveable — and yes, they still need a licensed electrician.

Why not DIY
Adding or moving a power point is prescribed electrical work in SA. Done wrong it's a shock and fire risk, and it can void insurance.
Common requests
Double points behind the TV, kitchen bench outlets, USB points in bedrooms, outdoor weatherproof points, and dedicated circuits for heavy appliances.
Done tidy
Neat cabling, correct circuit loading, and proper weatherproofing outdoors. The little jobs deserve the same care as the big ones.
The small jobs that make a Evandale home work
Not enough power points, extension leads daisy-chained behind the TV, no outdoor point where you actually need one — these are the everyday annoyances that a proper electrician sorts in a single visit. They're small jobs, but they're still licensed electrical work, and done badly they're a shock and fire risk.
The thing I won't do is overload an existing circuit just because it's quick. If a run of new points or a heavy appliance needs its own correctly-rated circuit, that's what it gets — neat cabling, the right protection, and proper weatherproofing anywhere it's outside.
Common power point and switching jobs
- Extra double points to kill the extension-lead clutter
- USB points in bedrooms, kitchen and study
- Weatherproof outdoor points done to IP rating
- Dedicated circuits for heavy appliances
- Moving or adding switches and dimmers
- Replacing damaged or scorched outlets safely
None of these are big jobs, but they all deserve the same care as the big ones — because the small stuff done badly is exactly what causes the call-outs later.
