Power Points

Power points, or General Power Outlets (GPOs) as they are sometimes called usually require a hardwire installation and sometimes by a qualified electrician. Power points come in several styles, designs and configurations to suit a wide variety of applications.

Single, double, triple or even quad configurations are readily available, some are provided with USB outlets for charging digital devices, some with a supplementary switch to control a light or fan or some may even have a pilot light to show when the power point is on and live.

As our lifestyle embraces outdoor living areas, BBQ’s and swimming pools, our need for power points, resistant to adverse weather conditions, has also been realised. For this reason, many weatherproof power points are also available to enhance a relaxed outdoor lifestyle.

Other variations of indoor power points include WIFI remote features, particularly useful where electrical power can be remotely controlled for standby devices or other purposes, some with timers to operate within certain time intervals, even floor-mounted or benchtop mounted models that remain concealed until needed.

Raj from Alliance was absolutely fantastic. Called on his way to let me know of traffic and that he was running late. Was very friendly and polite. Did a great job of understanding what I needed done and informing me along the way. Outcome was perfect, fixing my short term requirements and providing different options and quotes to improve my system. Absolute 5 star. Give this man a bonus!

I am very happy to support a local business, especially when they go "above and beyond" in customer service and professionalism, from Chris doing the quote, the office team handling the booking (thank you so much for bringing my job forward!), and the install team, Dragan, Cristian and Miguel, who consulted with me at every step and paid attention to the finer details, like plumbing in both discharge pipes to the downpipe a couple of metres away. Great job, thank you boys!

I have had an amazing experience from start to finish. We first met James who walked us through the different models and what was possible for our unit. James also was very efficient with the necessary paperwork required for strata approval. In regards to the installation Dzagan, Christian and Harry were amazing and did a great job with installing and cleaning up!. I also loved the fridge magnet that doubles as a bottle opener. Great experience and would recommend to anyone.

Alliance did a great job installing our AC units. They were prompt in their replies, quick in quoting, reasonably priced, and the install process was smooth. We were impressed by their professionalism during the installation as well and left the place spotless after install. Thanks to Tommy, Nick, Miguel, JJ, and Vash for their great job done!

I could not be happier with the installation of our ducted heating and cooling system, right in time for the hot summer season. All the options were clearly explained and Liam was great at providing his expert recommendations. The job was scoped and booked in quickly considering the time of year. A truly professional, courteous and efficient team did the install, thank you so much Vy, Shabi, Miguel, Benjamin, Peter and Vash. Everything was seamlessly coordinated with minimal disruption, including electrical work. Highly recommend. Thank you so much!

I recently had my old ducted air conditioning system replaced by Alliance Climate Control. It was an excellent experience from initial contact right through to installation completion, with the company's focus on quality solutions and service very apparent. I am absolutely thrilled with my new system and highly recommend Alliance Climate Control.For those interested in more detail...The original ducted air conditioning system installed when my house was built had been inoperable for a few years, had needed extensive maintenance while it was working, and never really performed satisfactorily when temperatures were outside a moderate range. The orientation of my house with respect to the summer sun, the use of specific rooms, and a fair quantity of heat-generating gear added a special twist to my requirements.Goran and Jake clearly took these requirements and my priorities fully into consideration in the solution they designed, as typical setups like the original just do not work for me. With a dual system required the cost was obviously higher than a single system so they also provided a less expensive alternative, but ultimately I decided on the premium solution as the ability to operate effectively, without restriction, on both the hottest days and coldest nights was important to me. Goran's help in finalising this was greatly appreciated.It was a three-day installation, starting in near-40-degree temperatures and ending in pouring rain, but the team worked hard to ensure the installation was completed on time.The core installation team of Andres, Ivan and Benjamin were fantastic, and were there for all three days including the whole of the final extremely long day. Other Alliance team members attended at various times throughout the installation as needed. Everyone was friendly, professional, and clearly took pride and care in their work. There were a few hurdles during the installation which the team took in stride: as the customer it definitely felt like ensuring I was happy was the priority.I was impressed with the care they took, for example when manouvering bulky equipment around my house, double-checking that things were storm-safe after the initial work in the roof, protecting nearby surfaces when cutting holes in the ceiling, meeting my super-pedantic requirements for positioning equipment... even wrangling manufacturer-faulty ceiling grilles so I would not be bothered by their out-of-alignment appearance for the few days until they were replaced. They also cleaned up thoroughly at the end of each day's work.The new systems are amazingly quiet, both inside and outside, easy to control, and very effective in the limited use they've had so far. I'm actually looking forward to a stinking hot day to truly bask in the contrast, and in the meantime am happily enjoying how much more comfortable my house is.

Very happy with the work yesterday by Dragan, Louis, JJ et al to install an air conditioner at our terrace house - and with James who prepared the quote. It was a complex job and I was impressed at how Alliance was able to swing in extra resources to get the job finished on time. They were very courteous, hard working and cleaned up well at the end of the job.

Very happy with this service! Organising the callout was super convenient, the team were very patient and explained everything very clearly. I was able to call back and easily arrange a service after double checking with other providers. Raj was really helpful during the callout, he went immediately into work and fixed my old ducted system and gave his suggestions on next actions. He answered all my questions and took care to go through the issues. He gave exact 30min call before his arrival and was done within the hour or so. I will go back to ACC for any future jobs!

I was very satisfied with my experience with Alliance from the very first phone call with Christian. I found every interaction with Alliance staff to be professional, courteous and they were all very experienced in their jobs. Goran, Zac and Michael were super helpful and patient in answering all my questions prior to installation of a split system in my strata apartment. BJ, Kim and Anthony, the installers on the day, were fantastic, everything ran smoothly and my home was left tidy. I am very happy with Alliance and would not hesitate in recommending them. Thanks guys!

USB Power Outlets

Most of our portable digital devices are charged via USB power points. Most homes have at least one smartphone that uses a USB cable. However, to charge these devices you’ll need to bring your bulky adapter first.

But those days are over, there are more options than ever before. You can now charge your devices directly into a USB power port in the wall. That means no more bulky adapters taking up a whole outlet that can be used for something else. Plus, by charging your devices directly into an electrical receptacle means that your device can charge up to 40% faster than using an adapter.

What can Alliance offer?

Generally, when an electrician visits your home and hardwires a power point, either indoor or outdoor, they will provide a double outlet for convenience. However, triple or quad indoor power points are just as easy to install on request and less expensive if specified initially rather than revisiting later to modify the installation.

With such a wide variety of power points available, it is better to consult with a credible supplier or installer to help you choose the best option for your home and lifestyle.

Alliance Climate Control with an advantage over a “bricks and mortar supplier” can provide that assistance at your home and with our Master Electricians are always mobile in and around Sydney. They are always accessible to help you decide the best, and safest, power point options for your home either during construction, renovation or any other time you need advice.

Our Master Electricians can advise the best options to satisfy your building or “reno” plans while ensuring electrical safety. Our Master Electrician will:

Prevent Misuse Of Power Points

Electrical power is so versatile, enhancing the convenience of our modern lives. However, if an electrical circuit becomes overloaded because too many devices are operating at the same time, the consequences can become catastrophic.

The most common misuse of wall power points is to connect multiple outlet power boards to each power point outlet. While appliances with low power requirements may not affect such as chargers or digital devices, these generally are not operated at the same time and cause little concern, typically failing to reach the maximum ampere value of the circuit.

However, if each outlet is connected to heating appliances, for example, an electric kettle, toaster, microwave oven and hot iron at the same time, it’s likely to overload the circuit and either blow the fuse or trip the circuit breaker or safety switch as may be fitted.

Another common misuse of power points is to disregard any arc flashing or crackling from a damaged power point connecting an appliance. This indicates a severe problem with the power point or wiring supplying power to the appliance and may blow the fuse or trip the circuit breaker/safety switch.

An additional fault might occur if wiring supplying electricity to a power point becomes wet behind the wall which may be due to a leaking roof or leaking water pipe.

Each of these symptoms require urgent attention. Any power points on the same circuit should also not be used until they have been checked by a professional electrician.

Electrical injury is a dire consequence of insufficient electrical safety and it is important to protect any potentially live power point from curious children who might inadvertently poke the live terminal with a metallic prod. This might cause severe injury or death in certain circumstances. An effective means to safeguard young children is to cover the power point outlets with a “dummy “plug or to fit a “latch cover” over the power point.

Your Master Electrician can always advise the most suitable power point type to ensure your preferred lifestyle and safeguard the safety of your family.
