House Re-Wirnig

If your home is more than 30–40 years old, it may need a full electrical rewire to meet modern safety standards. Older homes often still have aged wiring systems, such as VIR (Vulcanised Indian Rubber), cotton-braided cables, or early PVC insulation, which can become brittle, damaged or unsafe over time. These outdated systems weren’t designed to handle today’s power demands from modern appliances and can pose serious risks—including electrical fires, shocks, and frequent circuit faults.

A full rewire ensures your home will ensure compliance with current AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules. It also adds proper earthing, and allows for the installation of modern safety devices like RCDs (safety switches). Re-wiring your house also gives you the chance to upgrade your switchboard and add additional outlets or lighting where needed. Ultimately, a rewire greatly improves the safety, reliability, and future-proofing of your home's electrical system—protecting both people and property.
