Connect Power

Professional power connections

Whenever you need power supplied somewhere it is not, a new build, an extension, a granny flat, a shed, a studio, or for a new appliance or circuit, it is licensed electrical work that must be done safely and to the wiring standard by a licensed electrician. We connect power to new and existing structures, run new circuits and points, install dedicated circuits for appliances, and ensure your switchboard can handle the additional load. A proper connection means the right cable, the correct protection, and compliance with AS/NZS 3000, so your new power supply is safe and reliable. We connect power across Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide, with an upfront fixed price and workmanship we stand behind.

Power for sheds, granny flats and studios

Outbuildings like sheds, granny flats, studios, workshops and home offices usually need their own power supply, and running it safely from the main switchboard is a job for a licensed electrician. We install a properly sized, protected sub-supply to the structure, with its own circuits, power points, lighting and safety switches as needed. Whether it is a few points and lights in a garden shed, or a full supply for a granny flat or studio that will be lived in or worked in, we size the supply to the load, run it safely (including underground where needed), and make it compliant. You get reliable, safe power in your outbuilding, properly connected rather than run off dangerous extension leads.

Dedicated circuits for appliances

Many major appliances need their own dedicated circuit to run safely, because they draw too much power to share a general circuit. These include electric ovens and cooktops, ducted and some split air conditioners, instantaneous electric hot water, pool and spa equipment, and EV chargers. Running a high-draw appliance on an inadequate or shared circuit causes nuisance tripping and overheating and is a fire risk. We install dedicated circuits of the correct rating for your appliances, connecting them safely from the switchboard and ensuring the board can handle the load. If you are adding a major appliance, we make sure it has the proper supply it needs to run reliably and safely.

Adding power points and circuits

If you are short of power points and relying on power boards and extension leads, which is both inconvenient and a fire risk, we can add new power points and circuits wherever you need them, in the kitchen, home office, living areas, bedrooms, garage or outdoors. We run the new wiring neatly, connect it to a suitable circuit, and make sure the circuit and switchboard are not overloaded. Where the existing circuits are already heavily loaded, we can add a new circuit to spread the load. The result is power where you need it, safely, without the tangle of double adapters and leads. We can add a single point or wire power throughout a renovation.

Checking your switchboard capacity

Before connecting new load, whether an outbuilding supply, a dedicated appliance circuit, or new circuits, we check that your switchboard and supply can safely handle it. Adding significant load to a board that is already full or outdated can cause overloading, nuisance tripping, or unsafe conditions. We assess the switchboard’s capacity and condition, and if it is full, old (with ceramic fuses and no safety switches), or not up to the new load, we can upgrade it as part of the job. This ensures your new power connection is safe and reliable, rather than overloading a board that was never designed for the extra demand. See our switchboard service.

Outdoor and underground connections

Connecting power outdoors or to a detached structure often involves running cable outside or underground, which must be done correctly to be safe and compliant, outdoor wiring must be weatherproof and the circuits RCD-protected, and underground cable must be the right type, at the correct depth, and protected. We run outdoor and underground supplies properly, to sheds, granny flats, outdoor areas, pools and more, with weatherproof connections and safety switch protection. Done correctly, these connections are safe and reliable for years; done poorly, they are a serious hazard. We have the expertise to run outdoor and underground power safely and to standard, so your detached structure or outdoor area has proper, safe power.

EV charger connections

Electric vehicle chargers need a dedicated circuit of the correct rating and often a switchboard with adequate capacity and safety switches, so connecting one is licensed electrical work. We install the dedicated circuit and connection for home EV chargers, check and upgrade your switchboard if needed, and ensure everything is safe and compliant. As more households move to EVs, a proper charging connection is increasingly common, and getting it done correctly is important for safe, reliable charging. If you are installing an EV charger, we can connect the power it needs, including any switchboard upgrade, so you can charge your vehicle safely at home. We will advise on the right circuit for your charger.

Power for renovations and extensions

A renovation or extension is a common time to need new power connections, additional circuits and points for new rooms, a new kitchen or bathroom, or added living space. Doing the electrical work at the right stage, while walls are open, is efficient and avoids rework. We can connect power throughout a renovation or extension, running circuits, installing points and lighting, connecting appliances, and upgrading the switchboard to handle the increased load, all coordinated with the build. Planning the electrical work early ensures your renovated or extended space has enough power, in the right places, done compliantly. If you are renovating or extending, talk to us early so the power connections are ready when you need them.

Safe, compliant connections

Every power connection we make is done to the AS/NZS 3000 wiring standard, with the correct cable sizing for the load, appropriate circuit protection, and safety switches where required. This is not just about making the power work, it is about making it safe: an undersized cable, inadequate protection, or a poor connection is a fire and shock risk. Connecting power is licensed work for exactly this reason. We ensure your new circuits, supplies and connections are correctly sized, protected and compliant, and we test them before we finish. You get power that is not only convenient but genuinely safe, and where required we provide a certificate of compliance for the work.

Disconnecting power safely

Sometimes you need power safely disconnected rather than connected, for demolition, removing an appliance or structure, or decommissioning a supply. Disconnecting power safely is also licensed electrical work, as it must be done so that no live wiring is left exposed or hazardous. We safely disconnect and make safe circuits, appliances and supplies, isolating and terminating the wiring correctly. Whether you are demolishing, removing a shed or pool, or decommissioning part of your electrical installation, we handle the disconnection safely and properly. If you need power disconnected as well as connected, for example reworking a supply, we can manage both sides of the job safely and compliantly.

How much does it cost?

The cost of connecting power depends on the distance the supply or circuit needs to run, the load and cable size required, whether the work is indoor, outdoor or underground, and whether your switchboard needs upgrading to handle the new load. A nearby additional circuit is a smaller job than running an underground supply to a detached granny flat. We assess exactly what is needed, including any switchboard work, and give you an upfront fixed price before we start, so you know the cost. We will explain what the connection involves and why, so there are no surprises, and the work is done safely and to standard.
