Socket Installation and Upgrades in Fareham
Professional socket installation and upgrades in Fareham help make your home safer, more practical, and ready for modern electrical use. Daxter Electricals provides reliable domestic socket installation carried out by a NICEIC-approved electrician, with clear advice, fixed pricing, and certification included as standard.
Many homes in the area were not designed for today’s electrical demands. Home offices, kitchen appliances, entertainment systems, and smart technology often place pressure on outdated or poorly positioned sockets. Installing additional sockets or upgrading existing ones reduces the need for extension leads and improves everyday electrical safety.
Professional Socket Installation for Domestic Properties
Installing new sockets is one of the most effective ways to improve how your home functions day to day. A lack of sockets often leads to overloaded adapters, trailing cables, and unnecessary risk.
We provide professional socket installation for all types of domestic properties, ensuring installations are neat, safe, and compliant with current UK wiring regulations.
Our socket installation services include:
- Additional sockets in living rooms and bedrooms
- Dedicated sockets for home offices and workspaces
- Kitchen and utility socket installations
- Garage and outbuilding power points
- Relocating sockets to suit renovations or layout changes
Before any installation, we assess your existing wiring and circuits to confirm they can safely support the additional electrical load.
Socket Upgrades That Improve Safety and Usability
Over time, sockets can become loose, damaged, or unsuitable for modern appliances. Older fittings may no longer provide the level of protection expected in today’s homes.
Socket upgrades in Fareham improve both safety and convenience, particularly where sockets show signs of wear or no longer meet your needs.
Common socket upgrade options include:
- Replacing cracked, loose, or discoloured sockets
- USB socket upgrades for phones and tablets
- Smart socket installations for automation and energy control
- Modern faceplate replacements
- Safer socket solutions for family homes
If sockets feel warm, spark when plugs are removed, or emit buzzing sounds, they should be inspected promptly by a qualified domestic electrician.
When Socket Installation or Upgrades Are Recommended
You may benefit from socket installation or socket upgrades if your property shows any of the following signs:
- Regular reliance on extension leads or adaptors
- Insufficient sockets for modern appliances
- Loose or damaged socket faceplates
- Buzzing noises or heat coming from outlets
- Electrical changes following renovations or extensions
Socket condition is often reviewed during electrical inspections. If your electrics have not been tested recently, an electrical inspection can help identify underlying issues. You can learn more about this on our EICR page.
