Our Services
A complete house rewiring replaces all the electrical wiring in your property, including any switchboards, outlets, switches, or circuits throughout your property with modern components that will meet your safety standards. This service is essential for older properties primarily with old and outdated wiring like fabric-insulated cables throughout the home. Our expert electricians come in and remove all your old wiring from your property safely, installing right sized copper cables that are matched for each circuit, and match them to an upgraded switchboard with proper protection. If there are areas of your home needing more circuits and outlets, we add them too and get them to meet the AS/NZS 3000 standards. A complete house rewiring essentially eliminates all safety risks like fires and shocks, whilst providing the right amount of power you need for your modern lifestyle.
Getting a partial house rewiring may give you a targeted approach to electrical safety, but it only focuses on upgrading specific areas in your entire property. This is different from a complete house rewiring where every circuit, switchboard, and power point in your home is assessed and replaced. Our partial house rewiring services are ideal for homeowners looking to take on partial renovations in your kitchen or bathroom, and need wiring replaced without getting your entire house wiring looked at. This reduces costs and keep your electrical upgrades isolated to certain parts of your building. Regardless, our electrical expert still integrate compliant copper cabling into your existing home and ensure they meet AS/NZS 3000 requirements and ensuring they are safe and modern. Getting a partial house rewiring is a practical way to eliminate any safety risks and improve the power capacity in certain rooms that are exposed to more electrical appliances and devices.
A switchboards distributes power throughout your home and ultimately protects circuits from overheating and causing electrical shocks where there are electrical leakages. Old switchboards use ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers and lack safety switches and RCDs that protect your wires against electrocution. Our electricians replace your entire switchboards with modern panels that use their own individual circuit breakers. These upgrades are important for safety reasons and are essential for older properties, as well as homeowners looking to add a lot more appliances and circuits to their home.
Modern buildings nowadays need a lot more power points than older properties due to the reliance on electricity powering appliances, gadgets, and devices in a home or business. Oftentimes, older homes also have outdated power points with two-pronged electrical sockets that have been updated. Our house rewiring team here in Melbourne, VIC come in and install additional power points where you need them and upgrade your outlets to three pronged sockets with USB charging sockets as well. If you're someone needing more outlets in your space, our power point installation services are made just for you.

FAQs
How often should I have my home's electrical system inspected?
We recommend scheduling a professional electrical inspection at least every five years for residential properties. However, if you notice any unusual electrical behavior, such as flickering lights or tripped circuits, it's essential to have an inspection sooner. Regular inspections help identify potential issues before they become major problems, ensuring the safety and efficiency of your electrical system.
How do I know if I need a full house rewire or just a switchboard upgrade?
Generally, a switchboard upgrade is often necessary if you are adding high-power appliances or if your current board is outdated (e.g., still using ceramic fuses). However, if your home has older rubber or cotton-insulated wiring, a full house rewire is the only way to ensure the entire system can safely handle modern electrical loads. Regardless, know that we always provide a thorough safety inspection to determine which solution is right for your property, so you don't have to worry about making the wrong choice. Give us a call, and we can recommend the right solution forward.
How long does a typical house rewiring project take?
For a standard three-bedroom home, a full rewire generally takes between 3 to 7 days, depending on the accessibility of the wiring and the complexity of the layout. We aim to minimise disruption and will provide a specific timeline after our initial on-site assessment.
Can I add extra power points and new lighting while my house is being rewired?
Absolutely. In fact, a rewiring project is the most cost-effective time to upgrade your home’s functionality. Since we are already accessing the wall cavities and ceiling space, adding modern LED lighting or extra power points in more convenient locations is much simpler and more affordable than doing it as a standalone job by itself. With our service, you can opt for additional power points or lighting upgrades with the house rewire, or get it as its own service by itself.
Will there be a lot of damage to my walls during the rewiring process?
Our experienced electricians use specialised tools and techniques to "fish" wires through existing wall cavities and ceiling spaces whenever possible. This minimises the need for cutting into plaster. If access is restricted and a small opening is required, we will discuss this with you beforehand to ensure you are comfortable with the plan.
