Right then, let's talk about something you probably use every single day without giving it a second thought: the humble power point. In the world of sparkies and builders, this essential bit of kit is known as a GPO electrical outlet, which stands for General Purpose Outlet.
It’s the connection point for your telly, your toaster, your phone charger – pretty much everything that makes a modern Aussie house a home. But not all GPOs are created equal. These days, there’s a massive range of options that can add serious convenience and a touch of style to your place.
Gone are the days when a GPO electrical outlet was just a boring white plastic plate with two holes. The modern GPO has evolved to keep up with our tech-heavy lifestyles.
Here’s a squiz at what’s available now:
This is dead-set important. Mucking around with electricity is not a DIY job. The installation of any GPO electrical outlet must be done by a licensed electrician. A qualified sparky will ensure the outlet is wired safely, meets all Australian standards, and is right for the intended load.
Furthermore, the quality of the GPO itself is crucial. A cheap, dodgy power point is a serious fire hazard. Using a quality, well-made product from a reputable brand ensures safety, durability, and peace of mind.
So, how do you make sure you’re getting top-quality, reliable gear? Your electrician will source their materials from a trusted professional supplier.

When your electrician uses a reputable supplier like Schnap Electrical Wholesaler, you can be confident that the products being installed in your home are genuine, safe, and built to last.
