Does your house need re-wiring?
Is your house more than 25 years old?

It is recommended you completely re-wire your home every 30 years, or sooner if one or more warning signs are present.

If you are looking at re-wiring your home, one of the biggest factors is the cost. Re-wiring a home is not cheap, but it is essential for the safety of your family and the long term value of your property.

Pelle Electrical Services are experienced in house re-wiring in Perth. Our fully licensed electricians conduct all re-wiring work with as little disruption to your home as possible. No call out fee.

Updated electrical wiring improves the value of your property. Modern wiring is essential for any new homeowner and by having your property properly re-wired, the value will increase significantly.

Signs your home may need rewiring include flickering lights, frequent tripping of circuit breakers, discoloured power points or switches, a burning smell from outlets, sparking when plugging in appliances, or wiring that is more than 25 years old. If you notice any of these signs contact Pelle Electrical Services immediately for a free assessment.

What does a house re-wire involve?

At the very least, re-wiring a house means removing the old wires and replacing them with newer ones. There may be other upgrades too, like replacing sockets and installing new power points. Wiring is often difficult to access and our electricians may need to run wiring through difficult areas — but we always aim to minimise disruption.

You do not need to tear down your walls to re-wire your house. Our electricians use crawlspaces to access the wiring system behind walls and beneath floors safely and efficiently.

A full house re-wire in Perth typically involves:

1. Electrical cables are replaced and a new consumer unit is installed
2. New cabling is fitted into the walls and beneath the floors
3. Back boxes on all switches and sockets are replaced with new ones
4. Power and lighting circuits are fully re-wired
5. Telephone and TV aerial sockets are re-wired

Can you re-wire a home room by room?

Yes. A skilled electrician can re-wire a single circuit or just one room. A partial re-wire may be necessary if one circuit is damaged and electrically unsafe. However connecting new wiring to old wiring is not recommended and will cost more per room than a full re-wire.

Do you need to redecorate after re-wiring?

There will likely be some dust and disruption while the work is carried out and for a few days after completion. Some redecorating will be required after the job is complete, particularly where plaster has been cut into to install new switches and sockets.

How do I prepare my house for re-wiring?

Remove carpets and furniture where possible, as wires will run underneath floors, walls and across ceilings. Our electricians will need to lift floorboards and cut into ceilings to run the wires safely. Plaster will need to be cut into in order to install new switches and sockets.
