House Rewiring
If you have an older home in Melbourne, rewiring by certified electricians from S-elect is something you should seriously consider. Rewiring a Melbourne home may not be the prettiest part of your stunning renovation, but it is essential for the ongoing safety and compliance of older houses.
Why rewire an old house?
Old wiring may not only be unsafe due to ageing, wear and tear, but it was also not designed to withstand the load that our increasingly tech-driven lives now place upon it. In fact, faulty or old house wiring is often the cause of devastating house fires in Victoria, so easily avoided by an electrical safety check from S-elect.
Over time you may have added more power points to your older home (also known as power sockets or power outlets) or increased the electrical load going through each powerpoint with the overuse of power boards. Your need for heating, cooling, lighting, home automation, alarm systems and electrical appliances has probably increased dramatically since your older home was built decades ago.
If this sounds like your home, it would pay to have a knowledgeable and trustworthy local electrician from S-elect conduct an electrical safety check and discuss the potential rewiring of your Melbourne home.
How often should you rewire a house?
While there is no definitive time period in which house rewiring is required by regulation, there are plenty of signs that indicate a house needs rewiring and timely action is necessary.
If your home is over 25 to 30 years old or you are experiencing…
- Electrical burning smells
- Buzzing sounds from powerpoints, appliances or light fittings
- Visible sparking at power outlets
- Flickering or dimming lights
- Fuses blowing regularly
- Appliances not working properly
