These days we are finding more homes are having a greater demand for phone and internet access with the rise in online businesses. Installing extra phone and data points throughout the home or office can eliminate the need for excessive cables and allow for everyone to connect simultaneously.
Modern usage means more outlets than older homes were built for. As a rough guide: 4 in a master bedroom, 3 in a kid's room or guest room, 6-8 in a kitchen (counting cooktop and oven), 4-6 in a living room (TV plus general), 3 in a study. We'll walk through your usage when we quote — there's no single 'right' number, only the right number for how you'll actually use the room. Power points are cheaper to add now than later.
Yes. USB-A and USB-C combination power points fit standard wall plates and replace existing outlets one-for-one. They're particularly useful next to beds, in kitchens, in studies, and in living rooms where phones and tablets are constantly being charged. We use mainstream brands (Clipsal, HPM, Legrand) where the USB component is properly heatsunk and rated to last — there's a noticeable quality difference between $40 and $90 fittings, and we can talk you through it.
Yes — Cat6 data cabling is one of the most common requests during renovations. We run the cabling, terminate the wall outlets, label and patch back to a central termination point (typically near your modem or in a small comms cabinet), and test each run with a certified data tester. For homes where wifi alone isn't keeping up, cabled connections to TVs, work-from-home setups, and game consoles make a real difference.
In most internal walls, yes. We use cable-fishing techniques to run cable behind plasterboard from the source to the new point, with minimal patching needed — usually a small entry hole near the skirting and a small exit at the new outlet location, both patched and ready for paint. In rare cases (solid masonry walls, existing cable congestion, or insulation that won't allow fishing) we'll use surface-mounted conduit, but we'll always tell you upfront so you can decide.
Outdoor power points need to be IP-rated (weather-sealed) and on an RCD-protected circuit — both for safety and per the Wiring Rules. We use full-cover weatherproof enclosures rather than the cheaper hinged-flap style, which we've seen fail prematurely. Common outdoor locations are alfresco areas, patios, pool pump alcoves, and garden sheds. For garden sheds we'll often run a sub-circuit to the shed and install a small sub-board there if you want multiple outlets and lighting.
A single point added to an existing circuit (with a reasonable cable path) usually takes around 1-2 hours including testing and patch-up. Multiple points done in the same visit drop the per-point time as we set up once and work through them. For points that need a new dedicated circuit run from the switchboard the time is longer — typically half a day depending on how the cable run goes. We'll give you a realistic time estimate as part of the quote.
