Does your house need rewiring

 

The modern life style with all its appliances can put a strain on old wiring that was never designed with today’s loads in mind. If you have concerns that your wiring may be inadequate or deteriorating it is essential you have a qualified electrician do a full inspection.
Some common indicators that your property may be in need of a rewire include  
·         Unexplained blown fuses that when you replace the fuse it simply blows again. Incorrect fuse replacement could result in injury or fire.
·         Lighting/power outlets intermittently working
·         Metal conduit running to the power outlets or lights
·         Round pin plugs
·         No safety switch
·         Black coloured rubber cables
·         No earth conductors
·         Old and deteriorating house rewiring
·         Ceramic fuses 
  
All of these could be urgent safety matters and indicate your wiring could need attention.
A full or partial rewire can be achieved with a minimum disruption to your home. In most cases power & light can be maintained throughout the project.
A rewire is a major job not to be attempted by an amateur or a D.I.Y project.
