Why rewire your home?

- Peace of Mind- Knowing your home’s electrical system is up-to-date and compliant with safety regulations.
- Increased Property Value - Modern wiring can make your home more attractive to buyers or tenants.
When Does a Home Need Rewiring?
There are several key indicators that it might be time to rewire your home:
- Age of the Property – Homes built more than 20 years ago may have outdated electrical systems that are no longer safe or efficient.
- Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips – If your circuit breaker trips regularly, it could indicate overloaded or faulty wiring.
- Flickering Lights – This can be a sign of loose or outdated wiring connections that need attention.
- Burning Smells or Discoloration – Scorched outlets, wiring, or a burning smell are a serious safety concern and require immediate rewiring.
- Old Fuse Boxes – If your home still has a fuse box instead of a modern circuit breaker panel, it may need rewiring to comply with modern safety standards.
- Too Few Outlets – Older homes may not have enough outlets to support modern electrical devices, requiring an upgrade to the wiring.

What Is the Rewiring Process?
At Wake Electrical, we follow a structured process to ensure a safe, efficient, and hassle-free rewiring experience:
1. Initial Consultation
We begin with a thorough assessment of your home’s electrical system and discuss any concerns you have, inspect the existing wiring, and provide a clear outline of the rewiring process, including expected timelines and costs. This is a great time to share your ideas so we can customise the plans to your exact specifications.
2. Full Survey & Planning
Our team will conduct a detailed survey of your property to understand your current wiring setup and future power needs. This allows us to plan for the most efficient rewire, including the placement of outlets, switches, and lighting.
3. Installation
We carry out the rewiring with minimal disruption to your daily life. Our electricians will replace old wiring, install new outlets, switches, and circuit boards, and ensure everything is up to modern standards.
4. Testing & Certification
Once the rewiring is complete, we’ll test the entire system to ensure everything is working properly. You’ll receive an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) confirming that your new system is safe and compliant. We will also notify building control of all works completed.
5. Ongoing Support
Our relationship doesn’t end with installation. We offer ongoing support and maintenance to ensure your electrical system continues to perform safely and efficiently.

Is rewiring disruptive to my home?
We aim to keep disruption to a minimum. However, rewiring does require access to walls and ceilings, so some disruption is inevitable. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way.
Can I live in my house during rewiring?
Yes, you can usually stay in your home during rewiring, although having an empty house is desirable as some rooms may be temporarily out of service. We’ll discuss scheduling with you during our consultation to make it as convenient as possible.
