Common Questions
Power Points & Lighting FAQs
Can you add a new power point to any room?
Yes. We install additional power points in any room, including outdoor weatherproof points. We assess the existing circuit load and advise if a new circuit is needed.
What types of lighting do you install?
We install LED downlights, pendant lights, batten fixtures, outdoor and security lighting, strip lighting, dimmer systems, and smart lighting. Supply your own fitting or ask us to source one.
Can you replace my halogen downlights with LEDs?
Yes — LED downlight replacement is one of the most common jobs we do. LEDs use around 80% less energy and last far longer. We'll check your existing transformer and replace it if needed.
Do I need a licensed electrician to install a light fitting?
Yes. In Queensland, all work involving fixed wiring — including light fittings, switches, and power points — must be done by a licensed electrician. DIY electrical work is illegal and dangerous.
How much does a power point installation cost?
Price depends on the location, cable run, and whether a new circuit is required. Owen provides a clear upfront quote before any work starts — call 0478 927 769 to discuss your job.
Can you install USB power points?
Yes. USB-A and USB-C combo power points are available and we install them in kitchens, home offices, bedrooms, and living areas. Just let us know when you book.
What are the options for outdoor lighting?
We install weatherproof outdoor lighting including wall lanterns, sensor floodlights, step lights, pathway lights, and soffit downlights. All outdoor installations use IP-rated fittings suitable for Queensland's climate.
Can you help plan a lighting layout before installation?
Owen can advise on downlight spacing and zoning to get the best result for your room size and ceiling height. He takes the time to explain all options clearly so you can make the right decision for your home.
