What Are Electrical Rewires & When Are They Required?
Electrical rewires involve replacing outdated or damaged electrical wires, switches, sockets, and other electrical system components. Over time, the insulation around electrical cables can degrade, and wiring configurations may no longer comply with current safety regulations. If your property in Bath, Chippenham, or Melksham was built more than 30 years ago, or if you’ve recently purchased an older building, it’s essential to consider whether electrical rewiring is necessary.
Signs that properties might benefit from electrical rewires include regular tripped circuits, flickering lights, discoloured or scorched sockets, and outdated fuse boxes. If you’re planning renovations or installing new appliances that demand more power, bringing in an electrician to upgrade fuse boxes, electrical wiring and other core facets of your wider electrical system, may be required to safely support the increased load.
What Do Electrical Rewires Involve?
Electrical rewires are complex processes which often involve updating and replacing an entire electrical system in a Bath, Chippenham, or Melksham property; although in many cases not all of the below stages will be required. Rewiring work can be broken down into two stages:
First Fix:
During the first fix, we focus on installing new cabling throughout your property. This involves removing the old electrical cables and replacing them with modern wiring that meets current standards. New cabling is fitted into the walls and beneath the floors, ensuring that it’s both functional and discreet. We also replace the back boxes on all switches and sockets with new ones, enhancing safety and reliability.
Second Fix:
In the second fix, we rewire power and lighting circuits, as well as telephone and TV aerial sockets. This stage includes installing a new consumer unit, which is vital for managing the distribution of electricity throughout your property. If you wish to add or move switches, sockets, or light fixtures, this is the ideal time to do so. We can also install cabling for new features, such as speakers, CCTV cameras, or automated lighting systems.
Why Invest in Electrical Rewiring?
Investing in electrical rewires offers numerous benefits for your property:
- Safety – Rewiring reduces the risk of electrical fires and ensures that your electrical system is compliant with the latest regulations, giving you peace of mind.
- Property Value – A newly rewired property is more attractive to potential buyers, as it indicates a modern and safe electrical system, which can increase your home’s value.
- Customisation – Rewiring allows you to choose new fixtures and fittings, and to decide where new sockets and switches should be placed, making your home more functional and aesthetically pleasing.
- Energy Efficiency – Modern electrical wiring and smart technology can make your home more energy-efficient, reducing your energy bills and your environmental footprint.
