Installing a shed on your property is exciting—be it for storage, a workshop, or a back-yard hideaway. But before you begin driving nails, you must plan ahead for your power requirements. Effective electrical planning gets your shed safe, operational, and ready for whatever you have in mind.

Think about the purpose of your shed. Will there be a need for lighting, power points for equipment, or even data points for smart devices? Installing the right wiring and outlets now avoids costly upgrades later. Also, hiring a professional for the installation guarantees you meet Canberra’s safety codes and the best operational functionality.

Don’t overlook switchboard capacity. Receiving power to a shed usually requires your home’s power system to be upgraded to accommodate the extra load. A tired switchboard can be a safety hazard, or lead to repeated power trips—something no one is looking for when working or lounging in their new room.

Our trained electricians oversee every step—from the planning and inspections right through to the installation—thus enabling you to enjoy your new shed with absolute confidence.
