FAQs

Why should I hire a certified electrician to install or repair electrical outlets in Mascot?

Certified electricians are licensed by NSW Fair Trading and comply with the Australian/New Zealand Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000). They carry public-liability insurance, issue an Electrical Safety Certificate after every job, and ensure your outlets are correctly rated, earthed and RCD-protected. This protects your family from electric shock, avoids fire hazards, and keeps your property insurance valid. DIY or uncertified work risks hefty fines and voided warranties.

What types of power outlets can I have installed in my Mascot property?

We install standard 10 A GPOs, 15 A single outlets for high-load appliances, double and quad outlets, weatherproof IP-rated external points, recessed TV outlets, pop-up countertop outlets, combined USB-charging outlets, and smart Wi-Fi–enabled sockets that integrate with Google Home or Alexa. All devices are SAA-approved and suitable for 230 V 50 Hz supply used in Mascot and greater Sydney.

How much does it cost to replace or upgrade an outlet?

Pricing depends on the outlet type, location and wiring condition. As a guide, a like-for-like swap of a standard double GPO starts around $120–$150 (including parts, labour and safety certificate). Adding a new outlet on an existing circuit usually ranges from $180–$260, while weatherproof or smart outlets can be $250–$400. A free onsite quote lets us confirm exact costs before any work begins.

How long does an outlet installation or repair typically take?

A straightforward replacement takes about 20–30 minutes per outlet. Installing a new point on an accessible plaster wall averages 45–60 minutes, including testing and certification. More complex jobs—brick walls, extra cabling in the roof space, or switchboard upgrades—can extend the visit to 2–3 hours. We’ll give you a time estimate when scheduling so you can plan your day.

Can I add USB or smart outlets to my existing wiring?

Yes. Most modern circuits in Mascot homes can accommodate combination USB or smart GPOs without modification, provided the circuit is not already overloaded. Our electrician will test the wiring, check the breaker size and ensure proper earthing. If the circuit is full, we can run a dedicated line back to the switchboard or install a sub-circuit, ensuring compliance with AS/NZS 3000 and maintaining full manufacturer warranty on the smart device.

What should I do if an outlet feels warm, sparks, or stops working?

Turn off the appliance, switch off the outlet, and if heat, smoke or burning smells are present, isolate the circuit at the switchboard. Do not use the outlet again until it has been inspected. Common causes include loose connections, overloaded circuits, worn contacts or moisture ingress. Call our Mascot-based certified electricians for a same-day safety check. We use thermal imaging and insulation-resistance testing to pinpoint faults, replace damaged components, and issue a safety certificate before re-energising the circuit.
