Electrical rewiring might not be the most glamorous part of owning a home, but it’s one of the most important investments you can make in safety, performance, and peace of mind. As our reliance on modern appliances, technology, and smart devices grows, many older electrical systems simply can’t keep up. That’s where professional rewiring comes in.
What Is Rewiring?
Rewiring involves replacing old or damaged electrical cables, upgrading power points and switches, and often installing a modern switchboard with safety switches. In older homes, it’s common to find outdated wiring like VIR or cloth-insulated cables, which aren’t designed to handle today’s higher power demands. Left unchecked, these systems can pose serious fire and safety risks.
Signs You Might Need Rewiring
It’s not always obvious when your home’s electrical system needs attention, but here are a few warning signs:
- Flickering or dimming lights
- Frequent tripping of safety switches or circuit breakers
- Discoloured or warm outlets and switches
- A burning smell or buzzing sound from power points
- No safety switches in your switchboard
If your home was built more than 30 years ago and hasn’t had an electrical inspection recently, now is the time to act.
The Benefits of Rewiring
Upgrading your wiring isn’t just about fixing problems, it brings a wide range of benefits, including:
- Improved Safety: Protects your family and property from fire hazards, shocks, and damaged appliances.
- Increased Capacity: Supports high-demand appliances, smart home tech, and future renovations.
- Compliance: Ensures your home meets current Australian electrical standards.
- Future-Proofing: Makes future electrical upgrades simpler, safer, and more cost-effective.
