FAQs About Our Electrical Upgrades for Your Home
If you’ve got any questions about our professional domestic rewiring expertise, we’ve answered them below for your convenience.
Homeowners should consider upgrading their existing system with new wiring every 20 to 30 years. Your house should also be rewired if your electrical systems are damaged or showing signs of deterioration.
If you’re buying an older home, you should consult a professional electrician to conduct a full electrical safety test and inspection. This is the best way to fully assess whether you require a full or partial rewire.
Shock prevention devices and satisfactory cross-bonding will reduce the risks of unexpected electrical shocks. If electrical wiring is old and fails to comply with the correct legal requirements, the possibility of electrical fires also increases.
A professional electric wiring upgrade will ensure your system passes electrical safety standards and current building regulations. We provide you with a rewiring certificate upon completion to validate our 6-year platinum promise guarantee.
There are a few common signs that you need to consider upgrading your electric system. These include insufficient power outputs, your fuse board regularly tripping, and ageing existing wiring. Or your system struggles to safely carry additional loads.
If you have young children, it’s also a good idea to have child-proof sockets installed in your house. If you’re unsure whether your existing connection network is safe, consult us — a qualified electrician is ready to ensure your home passes critical safety regulations.
Rewiring a house during major renovation work like room extensions or a kitchen extension is important. This ensures your home’s electrical system passes electrical safety checks and supports modern appliances. During home improvements, this also enhances energy efficiency and improves overall functionality.
The cost of our rewiring service depends on the following:
- The age and condition of your existing wiring
- The type, position and age of the property
- How much new wiring is required
- How long the electric upgrade will take
