Frequently Asked Questions
When should a building be rewired?
Buildings over 30 years old often need rewiring, especially if the wiring hasn’t been inspected recently. Signs like flickering lights, overheating outlets, frequent tripping, or outdated fuse boxes indicate it’s time for a review. Rewiring improves safety, reduces fire risk, and ensures your system can handle modern power loads. A licensed electrician can assess your setup and provide clear recommendations.
What’s the difference between a refit and a full rewire?
A refit typically involves updating part of your electrical system, such as switchboards, lighting, or specific circuits. A full rewire replaces all cabling and fittings throughout the building. Refits are common during renovations or layout changes, while full rewires are needed when systems are outdated or unsafe. Both require licensed electricians and must meet current electrical safety standards.
Can I stay in my home or workplace during a rewiring job?
Yes, in most cases, but it depends on the size and complexity of the project. Small or staged rewiring work can often be done while the property remains in use. However, temporary power interruptions may be necessary for full rewires or major switchboard upgrades. Your electrician will plan work around your needs and minimise downtime wherever possible.
