What is a House Rewire?The wiring in your home supplies power to your lights, appliances, and devices. Over time, old or outdated wiring may need to be upgraded for safety and efficiency.

When does a house need a rewire?To maintain a safe and reliable electrical system, a full rewiring is recommended every 25 years. Regular inspections by a qualified electrician can help identify when an upgrade is needed, ensuring your home remains safe and up to code.

Is deteriorating wiring a problem?Yes! Over time, wiring can degrade, increasing the risk of electrical hazards. For example, aluminium cables are more prone to fire risks, and any damage can lead to arcing, potentially causing electrical fires. Older wiring systems were not built to handle the high electrical demands of modern households, making upgrades essential for safety.

Will the house rewire increase the value or saleability of my house?While rewiring may not directly increase your home's value, it can make your property more appealing to potential buyers. Upgrading the wiring improves safety and modernizes the electrical system, making the home more marketable. Many homeowners choose to rewire before selling, often adding new light fixtures like security lighting or updating the electricity meter and cabling.
