Extension Leads Were Never Meant To Be a Permanent Solution.
Walk through most Australian homes and you’ll find the same thing, power boards daisy-chained together, extension leads running under rugs, and a single double power point doing the work of six.
It’s not just inconvenient. It’s a genuine fire and safety risk. Overloaded power boards and extension leads are one of the leading causes of residential electrical fires in Australia.
The good news is that adding power points or rewiring a room is one of the most straightforward and cost-effective electrical jobs a homeowner can invest in.
At HSQ Electrical, we install additional power points and wiring solutions across Melbourne and Victoria, giving you power exactly where you need it, done properly.

Signs Your Home's Wiring Needs Professional Attention.
Multiple Power Boards
Power boards plugged into power boards or extension leads under rugs, a real overloading risk.
Power Points Feel Warm
A power point warm to the touch even unloaded is a serious wiring fault requiring immediate attention.
Sparks When Plugging In
Regular or significant sparking indicates a wiring or outlet fault that should be assessed.
Discoloured Power Points
Yellowing, cracking, or scorch marks indicate heat damage and should be replaced immediately.
Outlets That Don't Work
Intermittent or non-functioning outlets usually indicate a wiring fault needing professional diagnosis.
Home Built Before 1980

Everything You Need To Know About Power Points & Home Wiring.
How Much Does It Cost to Install a Power Point in Victoria?
The cost of a single double power point typically ranges from $150 to $300 depending on location, cable run length, and any patching required.
Can I Install a Power Point Myself in Victoria?
No. All electrical work in Victoria must be carried out by a licensed electrician under the Electricity Safety Act 1998.

A dedicated circuit runs from your switchboard to a single outlet or appliance. High-draw appliances, ovens, AC, EV chargers, should always be on dedicated circuits.

Replacing all existing wiring with new cabling, circuits, outlets, switches, and connections back to the switchboard. We manage the entire process including distributor coordination.
