Power Point Installations and Upgrades.

We know just how important power points are to charge devices and power our appliances. If your home doesn’t have enough to cover all your technology, Star Plus Electrical can provide the best power points that are suited to your home or business’s electrical load.

Adding extra power points to your home or business will help safeguard the space from dangerous, exposed power leads. In addition to this, the addition of extra power points will dilute the electrical ‘stress’ on your circuit, so that your power points do not become overloaded, your fuses are less likely to blow and you are protected against fatal fire hazards.

If you’ve noticed your power points are sparking or overheating whenever appliances are plugged in or out, call Star Plus Electrical immediately, and we can prevent an electrical disaster at your home. Or, if you’re looking to upgrade your current power points to double or USB outlets, we’ve got you covered.

Frequently Asked Questions.

Got questions? It’s natural to have questions. We have answers (well, most of the time!). Can’t find what you’re looking for? Please contact our friendly team.

Why are my power points getting hot?

It sounds like you have an electrical fault. Call Star Plus Electrical immediately and arrange for an electrician to come out ASAP. DO NOT try to fix this on your own.

What do I do if I smell burning around my power points?

Burning smells, such as melting plastic or burned wires, can be a clear indicator that your home wiring could be failing. Noticing this smell around your power points and acting on it quickly can be the difference between a small issue and a more dangerous concern.

unplug anything in the outlet and discontinue the use of that outlet
call a Star Plus Electrical Electrician to come and check your wiring and resolve the issue causing the smell before it turns into an electrical disaster
DO NOT attempt to remove the power point cover to see what is going on. Electricity is a dangerous form of energy and should be dealt with by a licensed professional ONLY.

Can you install power points with a USB?

Definitely! Our trained electricians can provide the power points and any necessary data cabling so you can update your home to be more versatile with USB wall outlets.

Can an electrical power point cause a fire?

Yes – a damaged power point can cause a fire. Sparks could catch internal insulation or cause the plug and appliance to burn and melt. This is a greater risk for older homes and those without safety switches in the meter box. So, more great reasons to consider upgrading your electrical systems.

When should you replace a power point?

Electricians recommend replacing power points every 20 years and suggest rewiring to the same timeframe. However, natural wear and tear, rodents and shoddy DIY work can all affect these systems and increase the risk of electrical shocks and even a fire.

If your power point shows cracks or isn’t working correctly, you should have it tested, repaired, or replaced ASAP, regardless of its age.
