Does your house need rewiring or wiring upgrades?
When a property requires rewiring, several
factors need to be taken into account. As
previously said, it is likely necessary to rewire
a property that is thirty years old and still
has its original wiring, not only for safety
reasons but also to comply with contemporary
requirements. If you are considering buying an
older house, you should have a certified
electrician thoroughly inspect it before you buy
it to ensure that the wiring is secure. If you
are extending or converting a portion of your
home, all new and updated wiring must adhere to
the most recent Building Regulations to ensure
safety and security. An inspection is advised
every ten years for your own property and every
five years for a rental property.

Rewiring or wiring upgrade offers the potential
to raise the quality of life in addition to
increasing safety in a home. Rewiring, for
instance, allows for the installation of more
switches and plugs, increasing the number of
appliances such as televisions, radios, and
home computers in a household. If youre not
sure if your property needs to be rewired, there
are a few warning signs to look out for. First,
circuit breakers that trip frequently are a
serious indication that there may be an overload
in current, which suggests that appliances are
drawing too much power from the plug.
Furthermore, dimming or flickering lights point
to a wiring issue, including exposed or damaged
cables.

What does a house rewiring include?
Since there will be adjustments to sockets,
connections, and wires, one of the most important
things for you to understand about rewiring is
what is included in a whole house rewire. If you
are moving into a new property, it is advisable
to get the property rewired before adding
furniture, to avoid any future issues. A full
house rewire consists of two processes the
first is usually finished before walls are
plastered and should ideally be done without
furniture or carpets. This procedure is sometimes
called the First Fix back boxes and actual
wire are placed for each socket and switch on
your home. For safety concerns, only a licensed
electrician in Auckland should perform this.

The Second Fix is the second procedure, and it
consists primarily of installing switches,
outlets, and lighting to link the electrical
system.
Additionally, a consumer unit must be attached
our Fuse Box Replacement Service page has more
information on this. To ensure safety and
remove any risks, a full house rewire will need
to remove all existing wiring and replace it
with new wiring. Furthermore, all outlets, such
as those on heat detectors, stove points, and
lighting, will be fixed. Doing It Yourself You
can rewire your property yourself, but we
strongly advise hiring a licensed and qualified
electrician in Auckland to undertake the
work because it will always need to be checked by
an electrician.
