Reasons Why You May Need New Power points Installed
Do yourself constantly running out of power points or having to unplug devices to charge others?
Do you relate to any of these scenarios?
More electronic devices that need to be plugged in to be recharged. This leads to a shortage of available power points in older homes that were not designed to accommodate so many devices. The laundry is a prime example. With vacuum cleaners needing to be on charge and stored out of the way.
Home renovations: If you’re renovating your home, you will need to add extra power points for the newly created spaces.
Safety concerns: Overloading power points can be dangerous and increase the risk of electrical fires. Adding additional power points can help distribute the load and reduce the risk of overload.
Adding extra power points is a simple way to solve all the above problems, so make sure to have a licensed electrician install them so they are installed safely and up to code.
When Installing Multiple Power Outlets
When working with multiple outlets, keep the following points in mind to ensure safety and proper functioning:
1. Circuit capacity: The number of outlets that can be connected to a circuit is determined by the circuit’s capacity. It’s important to make sure that a total load of all connected devices does not exceed the circuit’s capacity, which can cause the circuit to overload and trip the breaker.
2. Outlet spacing: Outlets should be spaced evenly along walls to ensure that there is an outlet available wherever it is needed.
3. Wiring: When wiring multiple outlets, it’s important to use the correct wire size and type for the circuit. For example, a 20-amp circuit requires a 12-gauge wire, while a 15-amp circuit can use a 14-gauge wire.
4. Safety: Outlets in certain locations, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas, require power points to be installed according to the latest industry codes and requirements.

These are some of the guidelines the team at Spanos ElectriCool is following to ensure that you and your family stay safe around electricity.
You cannot just install a new power point where ever you like it!
Access – power points cannot be installed where removing the plug from them is likely to be impeded by fixed equipment or fixtures. In general they should not be mounted less than 75 millimetres from the floor.
Wet areas – Bathrooms are divided into ‘zones’, based on the positions of different water outlets (e.g. shower heads, basin taps, bath taps). Power points can only be installed outside the specified zones. Water is a surprisingly good conductor (and we’re mostly made up of water) so it’s very important that this is carefully adhered to. There are very specific rules about where power outlets can and can’t be installed in bathrooms and kitchens. This especially relates to power points being close to the sink area.
Switches – All power points are required to have a switch operating in the active wire.
