Overloaded circuit assessment
Will adding another socket increase circuit capacity?
An extra outlet does not itself increase the load a circuit can safely carry. Demand, cables and protection need to be assessed together.

Overloaded circuit assessment — planning the work
For overloaded circuit assessment, identify the affected circuit or proposed addition before agreeing work. Existing condition, supply arrangements and testing can influence the specification and the extent of the job.

about this service.
Will an extra socket increase the available circuit capacity?
The combined equipment load and circuit design still need assessment. An additional outlet does not by itself increase what the circuit can safely supply.
What should be covered at handover?
Check operation, test results and relevant handover documentation.
