WEATHERPROOF DOUBLE POWER POINT / VOLTRA ELECTRICAL

CONSIDERED / FROM START TO FINISH

Outside, the details matter.
Rating, height and protection.

Outdoor outlets are chosen for their exposure to rain and sun, and positioned with water runoff, garden watering and foot traffic in mind. Where something stays plugged in, a cover that closes over the plug helps keep water out.

New power circuits are protected by a safety switch (RCD), and the cable route from the house is planned to stay protected, whether it runs through a wall, along a structure or underground.

Plan your outdoor power

03 / KNOW YOUR SETUP

Plan the spot.
Then the route.

A photo of the area and a list of what you will plug in are useful starting points.

What you will plug in
Heaters, fridges, pumps and tools draw different amounts. Tell us what will run there so the circuit and outlet suit it.
Position & height
Away from where water collects or sprays, within easy reach, and clear of doors, gates and garden beds.
Cable route
Through an external wall, along a structure or underground. Underground runs need the route and existing services checked first.
Weather exposure
A covered alfresco and an open garden are different. The exposure decides the outlet and cover type.

04 / FROM FIRST LOOK TO FINAL CHECK

Clear at every step.

  1. 01

  4. 04

    Test & explain

    We test the outlet and its safety switch, and provide electrical safety documentation.

05 / BEFORE WE GET STARTED

Good questions.
Clear answers.

Do you provide outdoor power point installation in Williams Landing?

Yes. We cover every part of Williams Landing (VIC 3027). Include your street and a short description of the job, and we will come back to you about timing. We also cover Hoppers Crossing and Laverton.

Where do people usually add outdoor power in Williams Landing?

Alfrescos and decks for heaters and lighting, garage and carport walls for tools, and garden areas for pumps and lighting. We plan the position around water, foot traffic and the cable route.

My Williams Landing home is only a few years old. Is outdoor power point installation straightforward?

Usually. Newer homes generally have a modern switchboard with safety switches, although insulation, ceiling space and slab construction still affect cable routes. 48% of Williams Landing homes were mortgaged at the 2021 Census.

Can you add a power point outside my house?

Usually, yes. We look at where you want it, what you will plug in and the cable route from a suitable circuit or the switchboard before confirming the scope.

What makes an outdoor power point weatherproof?

Outdoor outlets have a higher weather rating and a cover that closes over the socket. Where something stays plugged in, a cover that closes over the plug as well helps keep water out.

Does an outdoor power point need a safety switch?

New power circuits are protected by a safety switch (RCD). We check your switchboard and explain if anything needs to change.

Can it go in the garden or on a post?

It can, with a suitable mounting point and cable route. Underground cabling needs the route checked for existing services, and trenching responsibilities agreed in the quote.
