Hi we are looking at getting a water feature that runs off a 240v pump - just trying to factor in what the likely cost of a outside Powerpoint would be - anyone have a ballpark figure? there is a inside Powerpoint on the inside wall
RCD for the main switchboard - Approx $100 - $150 ex GST
Cable - Approx $1.20 - $1.50 per metre
Labour - Approx Anyones Guess, Call Your Sparky but at a guess it might be at least 2 hours work.
Not sure if you can actually piggy back off the nearby indoor socket but may be able to pull that up the wall to draw a new wire for the outdoor socket and pull it back down etc.
Either way, you are not allowed to do this work yourself.
Do you have a newer house or older house? Is there spare room on the switchboard for an RCD?
