Power Point Solutions
Power points should be positioned where they are useful, safely connected and suitable for the equipment being supplied.
Matte Electrical can install new outlets, replace worn or damaged fittings, relocate existing outlets and add dedicated power for appliances, offices, entertainment areas and outdoor spaces.
Before installation, the existing circuit and proposed electrical demand are considered to determine the most suitable approach.
Common Problems
Rooms often have fewer outlets than modern households and workplaces require.
Loose sockets, cracked covers and poor plug retention may indicate that replacement is needed.
Heat marks, discolouration or burning smells should not be ignored.
Extension leads and power boards should not become permanent substitutes for properly installed power.
Outlets hidden behind furniture or far from equipment can make a room difficult to use safely.
Some appliances may require dedicated circuits or specific electrical protection.
Our Solution
We begin by discussing where power is needed and what equipment will be connected.
The existing electrical installation is then considered before the new outlet, wiring, circuit protection and mounting arrangement are selected.

Tell us where the outlets are needed and what they will be used for.
We consider the existing circuit, access, wall type and required electrical demand.
The wiring, outlet and protection are installed for the agreed location and use.
