Power Point Installation in Mornington Peninsula

Power Point Installation in Mornington Peninsula

Safe, Compliant, and Convenient Electrical Solutions for Your Home or Business

In many Australian homes, especially older ones, there simply aren’t enough power points to meet modern needs. This leads people to rely on double adaptors, piggyback plugs, and overloaded power boards — a shortcut that significantly increases the risk of electrical fires and damaged appliances.

At Luxen Electrical Group, we install and upgrade power points in homes, offices, renovations, and outdoor spaces across the Mornington Peninsula. Our licensed electricians ensure all work is safe, fully compliant, and tailored to your needs.

 

When Should You Install New Power Points?

Most homes today have far more electrical devices than they were originally wired to handle. If you’re relying on extension leads, running cords across rooms, or plugging multiple high-load appliances into one outlet, you’re pushing your system to its limits.

You should consider installing new power points if:

  • Your existing outlets are hot to the touch or discoloured

  • You’re using multiple power boards in the same room

  • You’re renovating or reconfiguring a space

  • You want to install wall-mounted TVs, dishwashers, or home office setups

  • Your outlets are loose, cracked or showing signs of wear

  • You need outdoor power for BBQs, lighting, or garden equipment

  • You’re building a home office or converting a garage

We also recommend upgrading to USB combination outlets in bedrooms, kitchens and workspaces to reduce charger clutter and make charging devices easier.

 

Why Overloaded Power Points Are Dangerous

Using too many appliances or devices on a single outlet or circuit can lead to:

  • Overheating of wires behind the wall – which can smoulder and ignite

  • Nuisance tripping of circuit breakers, or worse, no protection at all if your system is outdated

  • Damaged equipment due to voltage fluctuations

  • Electric shock risk if outlets are old, loose or improperly grounded

The fire risk is real — according to Fire Rescue Victoria, overloaded electrical systems are a leading cause of residential fires. Most of these incidents are preventable with proper power point installation and circuit design.

If you’re unsure whether your setup is safe, we offer inspection and upgrade advice with no pressure to commit.

FAQ - Power Point Installation

 Labour starts from around $120 to $240 per outlet, depending on wall type, wiring access, and whether it’s part of a larger job. USB outlets or outdoor points cost more.

 No. In Australia, only a licensed electrician can legally install or modify power points. DIY installation is both illegal and dangerous.

 There’s no specific limit, but we’ll assess the circuit load and recommend a safe layout. In some cases, adding new circuits may be needed.

 It depends on your needs. USB outlets are ideal for charging phones and tablets without needing adaptors, but they don’t replace standard outlets.

 Stop using them immediately and contact us for a safety inspection. Loose or sparking outlets are a fire and shock risk and should be replaced as soon as possible.
