Home rewiring

Electrical components are subject to wear and tear, and the wiring of your house is no exception. If your electricity bills keep surging without any visible change in consumption, chances are your house needs rewiring. 

 

House rewiring refers to replacing the outdated electrical wiring of a house to prevent potential hazards. Given the number of repairs and electrical systems to be dealt with, the process can be a tough nut to crack for a layman. 


Thus, it’s crucial to have a skilled electrician rewire your house professionally. MCH Electrical provides professional house rewiring in Gold Coast to keep you safe and secure from any potential electrical threat lingering in your house.

Signs Your House Needs Rewiring

Below are the top 5 alarming indicators your house needs rewiring:

Age of house

If your house was built more than 30 years ago and hasn’t undergone a rewiring yet, the wire insulation is likely damaged. Technology changes with time and thus, outdated electrical wiring will not meet the current safety standards.

Tripping

Circuit breakers or safety switches are meant to trip in case the current passing through the wire increases beyond the set limit. Since old wiring cannot withstand the capacity of modern appliances and electrical needs, your house might face frequent tripping.

Smell

Just because your electrical panel looks good doesn’t mean everything is fine. Maybe the wires are shorting somewhere behind the walls or within the ceiling. As a result, you might encounter a faint yet persistent burning smell that seems unidentifiable.

Lights Flickering Or Dimming

The foremost sign your wiring is damaged or outdated will be a change in the power of the appliance. For example, flickering lights and involuntary speed adjustments of a fan. It may be because the wires are worn out and have loosened over time.

Fuse Blows Regularly

Electrical overload is the most common cause of a blown fuse. This can happen when the wiring of your house is damaged or old and cannot bear the load of the appliances drawing power from it.

House Renovation

Renovating your home can be an exciting yet overwhelming endeavor. It is wise to consider rewiring your home during the home renovations, particularly if your electrical system is outdated or if you are making substantial changes to the layout of your home.

 

When renovating, it is likely that you will need to relocate or install additional outlets, power points, and light switches. Updating the wiring for these tasks provides an opportunity to enhance your newly renovated home with two-way switches, dimmers, and motion sensors. For older homes, it is also a good idea to have a local electrician inspect the existing wiring and make any necessary upgrades.

Benefits of home Rewiring

After discussing the signs that your home may need rewiring, it is important to understand why you should go ahead with the process. There are numerous compelling reasons to consider, especially if you are still unsure.

 

One of the most crucial reasons to invest in a home rewire is to ensure the safety of your family. Poor wiring poses a serious risk of electrical fires, making it imperative to address any issues promptly.

 

Additionally, a proper home rewire can enhance safety by incorporating modern wiring and RCD safety switches, offering protection against electrocution and shocks.

 

Adhering to National Standards in Australia, by upgrading your home’s wiring can lead to reduced insurance premiums and electricity bills. Moreover, installing new wiring can increase the value and sale price of your home, making it a worthwhile investment. Potential buyers often inspect the wiring before finalizing a purchase, so a rewiring can make your home more appealing in the market.
