Rewiring a house is a big project that requires a lot of planning, resources and time. As a home owner, finding out that you need to require your home may be overwhelming because of the resources it will require.
You may suspect you need a house rewire because of the below symptoms in your home or maybe you’ve had an electrician recommend this to you, either way, our licensed electricians are happy to discuss with you your concerns, your questions and ultimately help guide you to make a decision that is informed, safe and as cost effective as possible.
When is a house rewire necessary?

- switchboard keeps tripping
- power points failing
- damage to wiring due to sparks, fire
