The legal bit

Not a DIY job.
By law.

In South Australia, installing or replacing a power point is licensed electrical work — no exceptions for handy homeowners. Beyond the law, an overloaded or badly-terminated outlet is a genuine fire risk, and DIY work can void insurance. The good news: it's one of the quickest, cheapest jobs a licensed sparky does.

Quick answer

FAQs

Power point questions

?
Can I DIY a power point in SA?
No — it's licensed work by law. You can swipe left on the fine and the fire risk in one move.
?
How many points can one circuit take?
It depends on the circuit and what runs on it. Your electrician checks load before adding points — that's the difference between more outlets and more tripping.
?
My power point is warm or buzzing — urgent?
Stop using it and book promptly. Scorching, melting smells or sparking is an emergency callout.
?
How should I prepare for the quote?
Count the points, note the rooms, and add a photo of your switchboard. That's a brief a sparky can price properly.
