Getting a Dedicated Outlet Installed & Extra Electrical Outlet Wiring

The install plug-in power outlet service is the most common upgrade homeowners do when needing easy access to power for appliances, electronics, or new fixtures, as they often want to add an electrical outlet using a suitable electrical box . If you're forever reliant on extension cords, our service to add new wall outlets offers a permanent, safe, and stylish solution. We specialise in precise new receptacle installations, including dedicated outlet installations for high-demand devices and hidden TV-mounting power outlet placements.

Before you begin adding an electrical outlet, it's crucial to turn off the power to ensure safety and compliance with proper adherence to electrical codes & careful handling of electrical wiring. Unlike swapping a light fixture, installing an extra electrical outlet usually requires running new wire, either from an existing outlet or directly from the electrical panel. Our licensed electricians ensure the new outlet is the right size for the existing circuit & that the electrical cable is safely routed within the wall. This isn't a DIY job - it's not just the risk of electric shock you have to worry about, it's also the complexity of extending the circuit.

Our comprehensive plug socket wiring installation process includes locating the internal wall structure with a stud finder, running the new wire with pro tools like fish tape, & ensuring the final receptacle is properly grounded. Whether you need to install a convenience outlet near a workspace or a complete dedicated outlet installation, we guarantee a safe, reliable power source that's been wired correctly & meets all local electrical codes—making it easy to install extra power outlets around your general location to effectively add an electrical outlet where needed .

Product Benefits and Features

Our Plug-in Power Outlet Installation Service offers distinct benefits focused on safety, proper circuit load management, and the safe distribution of electricity at customization of power source location.

Keeping Your Home Safe

Safety's paramount when adding an electrical outlet, and adherence to occupational safety guidelines is essential, including the use of electrical tape for safe connections. . Our technicians follow strict safety procedures to keep your home safe & prevent electric shock.

1. Power Shutoff: The first step in the installation process is to switch off the power to the relevant circuit at the circuit breaker in the main electrical panel or breaker box. We clearly label the circuit we're working on.

2. Double Check: Next, we use a voltage tester to confirm the power is completely off at the existing outlet. We then test the wires to ensure there are no live wires before we start touching any of them. This is crucial before we begin any electrical work.

3. Cable Routing: We determine the best path for the new cable from the power source (existing outlet or electrical panel) to the desired outlet location. We use a stud finder to avoid cutting unnecessary holes in the wall. We usually route the cable in the same stud bay as the existing outlet - that generally keeps things fairly straightforward.

That methodical approach ensures your new electrical outlet is installed without risk.

Getting It Right, Every Time

Proper plug socket wiring is key for functionality and safety - we need to make sure the new outlet can handle the required power load and avoid any exposed bare wires .

• Preparing the New Box: We cut a precise hole in the drywall for the new box (electrical or outlet box) & secure it in place inside the wall. We strip the insulation from the cable & feed the three wires (hot, neutral, and ground) into the new box.

• Connecting the New Receptacle: We strip the ends of the wires with wire strippers and needle-nose pliers, then connect the black wire (hot) to the brass screws on the receptacle, the white neutral wire (neutral) to the silver screw, and the bare copper ground wire to the green grounding screw. We double-check that all the wire is wrapped tightly & securely.

• Connecting to the Power Source: When you add an outlet by tapping an existing one, we ensure the circuit can handle the extra load. We connect our new wire to the power source by tapping into the existing outlet & double-check that all the connections are tight.

We get every new outlet right before finishing the installation.

Custom Outlet Installation and Integration

We can help you decide the best outlet location to get the most out of your space, especially for pretty specific needs.

1. TV Mounting Power Outlet: We specialise in installing hidden outlets for TV installations, with the outlet behind the wall-mounted TV. That means a clean power source without cables on show.

2. Dedicated Outlet Installation: Certain appliances (like fridges, freezers or high-power tools) require a dedicated outlet installation on a new circuit run directly from the main electrical panel. That prevents overloading the existing circuit. We assess your power needs & install new wire and a breaker as needed by electrical codes.

3. Finishing Touches: When the new outlet is securely mounted, we add the final cover plate & tuck the cables safely into the box.

Convenience at Your Fingertips

We install convenience receptacles in the most valuable spots without causing a big ruckus.

The Lowdown on Our Services

What You Can Expect from Us

We guarantee a successful installation of your new electrical outlet receptacle thanks to our safety-first approach to electrical work and our knack for getting the wiring just right, ensuring it is working properly .

• What we do: We can install plug-in power outlets, add new wall outlets, install extra power outlets, dedicated outlets when you need one, and hidden outlets for your TV mounting needs

• The nitty-gritty: First off, we switch off the power at the circuit breaker. Next, we connect the new outlet's three wires (black, white, and ground) to the power source using wire nuts and the appropriate tools.

• Safety first: Before and after we're done, we use a voltage tester to make sure the wires aren't live. And, of course, we switch off the power before cutting any cables.

• The technical bit: We make sure the black wire goes to the brass side (that's the hot side) and the white wire goes to the silver screw side (that's the neutral side). The ground wire gets secured to the green grounding screw.

• Location, location: We use a stud finder to find the best spot for your new outlet and determine the best route for the new wire (usually within the same stud bay or by using some fish wire).

• Up to code: We do all our electrical work in accordance with local code, ensuring your existing circuit can handle the additional power demand.

• The final touch: We add the cover plate over the new outlet to give it a clean finish.

And when we're done, you know your new outlet is working correctly.

We Get it Right First Time

Our installation process is all about getting it right from the start, so you get safe, reliable power from the moment we finish.

The Step-by-Step Process

We put a lot of effort into getting it right, so your new outlet gives you safe, reliable power from the get-go.

1. Switch off the power and prep the area: We switch off the power at the circuit breaker and test the power at the existing outlet with a voltage tester. We mark the new outlet spot and cut a hole for the new box.

2. Getting the wire in place: We run the electrical cable from the power source to the new box location. We feed the wire into the new box.

3. Connecting the wires: We use wire strippers to prep the ends. Then we hook up the hot wires (black), neutral wire (white), and ground wire (bare) to the new receptacle and secure with wire nuts. The ground wire goes to the green grounding screw.

4. Mounting and testing: We installed the new outlet and popped on the cover plate using the mounting screws. We turn the power back on and test the outlet to make sure it's wired right and working as it should.
