Old, yellowed, or cracked light switches can instantly date your décor and stick out like a sore thumb against fresh paint or modern cabinetry. Thomas Group Electrical can swap out your entire home’s switch faces in just a few hours, giving every room a consistent, up-to-date look. While we’re at it, we’ll check your switchboard’s circuit breakers and safety switches, so your renovation also leaves your electrical system compliant with current Australian standards. Whether you prefer simple white rockers or brushed-metal designer plates, we fit products that match your style and budget—and we clean up completely before we leave.

Tidy up your charging stations with USB-enabled power points that eliminate bulky wall adapters and let you plug phones or tablets straight into the socket. Our electricians install single or double-port USB outlets alongside regular power points, so you never run out of plugs. For a truly smart home touch, Bluetooth-enabled switches allow you to dim lights, set timers, and control multiple circuits from your phone or tablet. Thomas Group Electrical handles the full setup—pairing each switch to your device, programming schedules, and testing every function—so you get seamless smart-home control without lifting a finger.

Slimline switch styles now come in glass, metallic, matte, and even timber-effect finishes to suit any interior theme. Brands like Clipsal Saturn and Iconic offer high-end glass and metal options, while Hager Silhouette and Trader Flat Cat deliver sleek, budget-friendly ranges. We’ll help you choose the right faceplates to highlight feature walls, tile splashbacks, or bench-top surfaces, then install them with precision so every frame sits perfectly flush. The result? Switches and sockets that feel like integrated design elements instead of afterthoughts.

As our reliance on technology grows, so does the need for more accessible power points in every room. Rather than daisy-chaining power boards, let us install extra outlets exactly where you need them—under TV units, beside study desks, or above kitchen benches. We plan the cable runs carefully to hide wiring behind walls or under floor coverings, securing all connections to Australian wiring codes. This turnkey service includes any necessary permits, compliance inspections, and a final safety test so you can enjoy uninterrupted power without the clutter.

Some socket faults only become obvious when it’s nearly too late. Watch for warning signs like burn marks, melted plastic, sparks when you plug in, or loose faceplates that wiggle. These symptoms usually mean internal contacts are worn or wiring is damaged—issues that can lead to fires or shocks if ignored. Our master electricians trace each fault precisely, replace worn components or the entire outlet, and test under full load to confirm the repair. You’ll get a fixed-price quote before we start, plus a safety certificate when the job is done.

Quality Assurance Checks 

After every installation or repair, we perform comprehensive safety and functionality tests. You receive a detailed report and warranty, so you know your sockets and switches are 100% reliable.

Last summer, Debbie in Croydon had a spice drawer hit the back of a 15 amp oven power point. It wasn’t a side-entry plug but a standard flex, and over time it overheated, melted through, and started a fire. We arrived that afternoon, installed a new safety switch, replaced the outlet with a side-entry power point, and rewired everything. Now her kitchen is safe, and she can rest easy knowing Thomas Group Electrical took care of it.
