The wiring on your property is out of sight. It’s installed behind walls and panelling, above false ceilings and sometimes under the floor too. This helps to maintain the aesthetics of the indoor spaces which is an advantage. However, there is a downside to this as well.

If something goes wrong with the wiring, you might not notice it until you face a severe issue. While good quality wiring that has been installed by expert and licensed electricians can last for many years without trouble. The best way to determine whether the wiring is in good condition is to get regular electrical inspections done on your property.

When Is Rewiring Needed?

These are some of the situations in which you would need to get your property’s wiring inspected and assessed:

• You have received a defect or safety/non-compliance notice
• Your property has steel conduits and single insulated wiring
• Safety switches trip frequently
• Your house was constructed in the 1970’s or prior to that
• There is just a single circuit for all the power outlets
• Your home has cotton or rubber insulation (V.I.R)
• The socket outlets overheat
• During renovating and see that the wiring has deteriorated

How Can We Help?

Electrical rewiring seems like an intimidating undertaking, but it can improve your system. All the effort and expense is worthwhile when you consider the benefits mentioned above. As trained, certified electricians, we understand what’s involved in a rewiring process. It is complicated, takes time, and requires good planning, which is where our expert technicians come in. Here’s a look at what we do:

• Electrician’s Survey – Rewiring can’t happen without a thorough knowledge of the existing system. That’s why our trained electrician carries out a comprehensive survey of a system before starting on a project. We will provide a detailed report of your system’s current state so you can make informed decisions about rewiring.

• Creating a Plan – You may not need to rewire an entire property if some sections of it comply with current Australian Standards. Our team will provide unbiased recommendations on material choices, installing locations, budgeting, etc. Once you have approved the project, we will create a plan of approach. Rewiring is done in two stages; one where wiring is installed and the other where all surface elements are installed.

• First Stage – In the first stage, we install wiring, circuits, back boxes, smoke detectors, lighting, climate control connections, data, telephone lines, etc. All hidden cabling is installed at this stage, after which contractors can install drywall, plasters, or other such material to cover these lines.

• Second Stage – The second stage involves installing surface fixtures lights, switches, PowerPoints, connecting appliances, etc. Once everything is properly installed, we connect your newly rewired system to the main electrical supply.

• Checking – Our team makes sure all installations are based on Australian standards and pass inspections easily. We double-check everything to ensure there are no issues like loose connections, disconnected elements, sparks, etc.

We source all materials for rewiring from reliable manufacturers. All components are up to Australian standards and will last for a long time. For more information on our rewiring services, feel free to contact ARC Electrical & Data today.
