Rewiring with Ned Kelly Electrical – Adelaide electricians
November 11, 2013Rewiring is when wires need to be replaced, often for electrical circuits and power outlets. Sometimes this can be because the wires have been cut or damaged, other times it can be simply because you want to install a new lighting fixture or other appliance and the current wiring isn’t suitable. Older houses, especially those more than 25 years old, may require rewiring due to their wires becoming old and dangerous or if you are undertaking a renovation you may require an electrician to rewire parts or all of the modified areas.
In Adelaide rewiring must be done by a certified and licensed electrician for both your personal safety and the safety of your home.
If your house is over 25 years old, the following are signs that could indicate that your house needs to be rewired:
- safety switch frequently tripping
- lights flickering when appliances are in use
- wiring exposed around flooring or ceiling
- power dropping out when using multiple appliances
- old-style fuse board
- porcelain fuses getting very hot
- lighting and power points not earthed.
