Melbourne House Rewiring
Imagine being able to plug in a device or set up your home office anywhere in your house, without having to search for a spare power point. Melbourne House Rewiring makes this a reality for old homes by providing power point installation and upgrades for residential and commercial clients all over Melbourne, VIC so that they can enjoy more convenient access to power and electricity in their homes. If you need additional power points in your home, our team works to see where we can install them and how to get your circuits and wires to reach these points. We also upgrade any older outlets you've got to have USB charging points, as well as replacing two-pin outlets with three-pin ones. That way, your space is ready to go with the standard power points and outlets that you'd need daily. Oftentimes, past customers would be maintaining and handling power boards because certain areas of their homes don't have outlets; this lowers the amount of wattage carried by splitting it into different sockets. Whatever it is, our licensed electricians will get these power points installed for you and properly test them so they meet the safety standards in Australia. The outcome you'll enjoy is a set of well-positioned, functional power points spread throughout your property, for you to charge your devices and use your appliances on.
Modern Homes Need More Power Points
Back a couple of decades ago, the typical home would have two to three times fewer power points than a modern home built in 2025. Why? Families today use way more electric devices and appliances, whether it's an iPhone, a Samsung, laptops, computers, televisions or sound systems. These devices would affect about 80% of a person's regular life. People use phones and average about 6 to 7 hours of screen time per day, according to Magnet ABA. This astounding amount of usage means devices need to be charged, and we're not even looking at the use of laptops, computers, and kitchen electrical appliances yet. At Melbourne House Rewiring, our power point installations add outlets where you need them and provide them in the right spots. You won't need to plug your chargers or appliances into awkward power points, or scramble to assemble more power boards for your devices. Contact our electrical services to get your power points properly upgraded and installed today.
Power Point Placement and Positioning
The positioning of power points is very important as it affects how convenient your property is. With electric devices being used on a daily basis, poorly positioned outlets can force furniture into weird spots that don't look great, and extension cords will be needed to extend electrical supply to more convenient locations. Our power point installation services considers how you would use your space and discuss this with you, whether its a workspace, entertainment area, or space for food processing equipment, we'll position these outlets where regular power would be used. Well-positioned power points make life a lot more convenient.

Different Locations That Melbourne House Rewiring Have Installed Power Points In
Power points shouldn't be placed in any random location around your property. We know each area and room will have its own uses and electrical needs based on how it is used. Kitchens will require outlets for electrical appliances, whilst offices will need reliable power every 2-3 metres for devices to be charged and powered. Outdoor areas would need to be protected from the rain in stormy weather. At Melbourne House Rewiring, our electricians have rewired many houses and installed power points in many rooms, so we know firsthand where outlets are best placed and have some interior design intuition as to where appliances and devices go. We work hard to provide practical access to electricity no matter where you need it.
Kitchens
Appliances like dishwashers, overns, and fridges all reside in the kitchen. We install power points above benchtops and in dedicated areas for ovens and dishwashers.
Offices
Home or Business offices would need outlets for computers, monitors, laptops, printers and other devices. We install them on walls where desks would stand so you won't need any extension cords.
Outdoor areas
Outdoor power points must be weather-protected to water and dirt from rain and mud out. These power points are covered and can only be accessed when the cover is removed to protect it from moisture seeping in.
Commercial spaces
Retail stores and workplaces would need have different purposes which would determine the amount and the locations of power points installed. This is why we conduct site inspections with you.
If you're looking for professional electricians who know what they are doing, you can trust our experts at Melbourne House Rewiring. The past projects we've undertaken have provided our team with the experience and expertise to provide competent power point installations and upgrades for your property, no matter what it's used for. Our testimonials do a great job at highlighting them. Contact us today to get started installing power points in your space, whether home or business.
FAQs
How often should I have my home's electrical system inspected?
We recommend scheduling a professional electrical inspection at least every five years for residential properties. However, if you notice any unusual electrical behavior, such as flickering lights or tripped circuits, it's essential to have an inspection sooner. Regular inspections help identify potential issues before they become major problems, ensuring the safety and efficiency of your electrical system.
How do I know if I need a full house rewire or just a switchboard upgrade?
Generally, a switchboard upgrade is often necessary if you are adding high-power appliances or if your current board is outdated (e.g., still using ceramic fuses). However, if your home has older rubber or cotton-insulated wiring, a full house rewire is the only way to ensure the entire system can safely handle modern electrical loads. Regardless, know that we always provide a thorough safety inspection to determine which solution is right for your property, so you don't have to worry about making the wrong choice. Give us a call, and we can recommend the right solution forward.
How long does a typical house rewiring project take?
For a standard three-bedroom home, a full rewire generally takes between 3 to 7 days, depending on the accessibility of the wiring and the complexity of the layout. We aim to minimise disruption and will provide a specific timeline after our initial on-site assessment.
Can I add extra power points and new lighting while my house is being rewired?
Absolutely. In fact, a rewiring project is the most cost-effective time to upgrade your home’s functionality. Since we are already accessing the wall cavities and ceiling space, adding modern LED lighting or extra power points in more convenient locations is much simpler and more affordable than doing it as a standalone job by itself. With our service, you can opt for additional power points or lighting upgrades with the house rewire, or get it as its own service by itself.
Will there be a lot of damage to my walls during the rewiring process?
Our experienced electricians use specialised tools and techniques to "fish" wires through existing wall cavities and ceiling spaces whenever possible. This minimises the need for cutting into plaster. If access is restricted and a small opening is required, we will discuss this with you beforehand to ensure you are comfortable with the plan.
