Fastest Way to Add Sockets: No Electrician, No Wall Work

Need more outlets yesterday? Here's how to add unlimited sockets to any room—installation in hours, additional sockets in seconds.

⚡ Same-Day Install 🔧 No Wall Damage ➕ Add More Anytime

You need more outlets. Maybe your kitchen has 2 sockets for 7 appliances. Maybe your home office is running on a daisy chain of power strips. Maybe you just bought a new TV setup and there's no outlet where it needs to go.

Whatever the reason, you're looking for the fastest way to add sockets. Not next month. Not after a renovation. Now.

Let's compare your options.

Your Options for Adding Sockets

🔌

Extension Cord

Instant but temporary. Creates cable clutter. Fire hazard if overloaded.

🔲

Quick fix. Still needs extension cord to reach. Sits on floor or desk.

🧱

New Wall Outlet

1-3 days

Permanent but requires electrician, wall work, patching, painting.

2-3 hours

Same-day install. Unlimited sockets. Add more in seconds. No wall damage.

If you need sockets fast and want a permanent, safe solution (not extension cords), power tracks are the answer.

Pantry installation in Metro Manila: From zero outlets to 6+ sockets in one afternoon. The homeowner has since added 2 more sockets as they bought new appliances.

Adding More Sockets Later: 5 Seconds

Here's where power tracks really shine. Once the track is installed, adding more sockets is instant:

  1. Buy additional sockets (₱1,600 each)
  2. Position the socket on the track
  3. Twist to lock
  4. Done—you're plugging in

No scheduling. No electrician. No cost beyond the socket itself. This is why we call it the fastest way to add sockets—not just the first time, but every time after.

Kitchen in Cavite: Started with 4 sockets. Added 2 more when they bought an air fryer and espresso machine. Total time to add: about a minute.

Cost Comparison: Speed vs. Value

💰 Adding 6 Sockets: Cost Breakdown

Traditional: 3 new wall outlets (2 sockets each) ₱9,000 - ₱15,000
+ Electrician labor ₱3,000 - ₱5,000
+ Wall repair & painting ₱2,000 - ₱5,000
Traditional Total ₱14,000 - ₱25,000
Time to complete 1-3 weeks

⚡ Power Track: 6 Sockets

1-meter track ₱5,990
6 universal sockets ₱9,600
Professional installation ₱1,000++
Power Track Total ₱16,590++
Time to complete 2-5 days

💡 The Real Value: Similar cost, but power tracks install 3-4x faster, require no wall damage, and let you add unlimited sockets later for just ₱1,600 each. The flexibility alone makes it worth it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's literally the fastest way to get more outlets today?

Honestly? An extension cord or power strip from the hardware store. But that's a temporary fix with safety concerns. The fastest permanent, safe solution is a power track—installed in 2-3 hours on the day of installation.

Can I DIY the installation?

Mounting the track is DIY-friendly (screws into wall like a shelf). The electrical connection should be done by a licensed electrician or our professional installation team. Once installed, adding or repositioning sockets is 100% DIY.

How many sockets can I add to one track?

As many as physically fit along the track length. The electrical limit is 32 amps total, which is more than enough for typical home use. A 1-meter track can hold about 8-10 sockets.

Will this work in my condo?

Yes. Power tracks surface mount with screws, leaving only small holes if removed (like shelf brackets). Most condos don't require admin approval for this type of installation. The track connects to your existing electrical system.

Is it as safe as wall outlets?

Yes—power tracks are IEC 61534-1 certified, the international safety standard specifically for track power systems. They include safety shutters, proper grounding, and are rated for 32 amps (more than standard wall outlets).

What if I need sockets in multiple rooms?

We can install tracks in multiple areas in the same visit. Common setups: kitchen + home office, or living room + bedroom. Multiple-area installations still typically complete in a single day.
