Socket and switch installation in Tbilisi
A new socket by the television, a switch by the door or a hot point that needs replacing: Labex fits, replaces and moves sockets and switches, and checks the circuit so the point does not overheat.
- Fitting new sockets and switches
- Double and USB sockets
- Replacing a hot or failed socket
- Moving sockets and switches during a renovation
- Dimmers and smart switches
When should a socket or switch be replaced?
When a socket warms up or darkens, the plug sits loose and falls out, a switch sparks or does not always work, or the socket has no earth contact. A hot socket is a fire risk: stop using it.
How does Labex fit a socket or a switch?
- Switching the circuit off and checking it
- Removing the old point and inspecting the contacts
- Fitting the new point, extending the circuit where needed
- Fixing the frame level and testing that it works
If a point is completely dead and the cause is not obvious, see electrical fault finding. For many new points a new circuit is the better route, and for light fittings see lighting installation.
What does socket and switch installation include?
A new socket by the television, a switch by the door or a hot point that needs replacing: Labex fits, replaces and moves sockets and switches, and checks the circuit so the point does not overheat.
How quickly does the electrician arrive?
Labex takes emergency calls first and handles most requests in Tbilisi the same day. Average response time is 30 minutes.
Where does Labex work?
Labex works across Tbilisi, in every district, and in the areas just outside the city.
At what height do sockets and switches go?
The commonest layout today is a switch about 90 cm from the floor and a socket about 30 cm; sockets by a kitchen worktop go higher. Labex matches the heights to your furniture and appliances.
A socket is getting hot: is that dangerous?
Yes. A socket heats up when a contact is loose or the circuit is overloaded, and that is a fire risk. Labex checks both the socket and the circuit, because replacing the socket alone does not always solve it.
Can a socket be moved somewhere else?
Yes. Labex extends the circuit in the wall or in trunking, moves the point to the place and height you want, and closes the old one off safely.
