Powerpoint Services
Turning on a light or charging your phone are common everyday tasks. So much so, we rarely ever think about what happens in order to generate the power to these appliances. So, how do we get that power? A powerpoint.
A power outlet, powerpoint or wall outlet, is a socket that connects an electrical device to an electricity supply and is essential in the distribution of electricity throughout your home. For some, socket and outlet are interchangeable.
In Australia, the standard powerpoint is Type I, with 230V voltage and a standard frequency of 50Hz.

Whilst we all know prevention is better than a cure, sometimes overuse or electrical faults can cause a faulty switch or socket. If you experience any of the following, it could be indicative of a faulty socket and should be inspected if:
- You have no power when connecting an appliance
- There is heat coming from electrical sockets or wiring
- Strange noises such as a buzzing or humming coming from powerpoints or wiring
- Sparks that appear from your socket
