Why do you need an electrician to rewire a house?

If you think of rewiring the house yourself, you might present a fire hazard in your home. You might consider hiring an electrician. In Australia, it is illegal to do electrical work by yourself because of the electrical safety standards. Instead of doing the rewiring yourself, you should hire a certified electrician. Have an electrician inspect your electrical system, and make sure that they are a licensed electrician by a trustworthy electrical contractor.

Electrical Rewiring Baulkham Hills

Rewiring the electrical system in your house is more than just replacing old wires. Rewiring your home will ensure your safety, prevent flickering lights, and save energy and your electricity bills. But, rewiring your home is very crucial, as it needs planning and patience.

In the 1960s, houses were built with 60-amp electrical panels, which was enough at that time because households used less electricity. However, modern users tend to overload their 60-amp panels, which can cause a fire hazard. On the other hand, modern houses are built with 100-amps, 150-amps, or maybe 200-amp panels. 200-amps electrical panels are more cost-effective if you have a large house, or you use power-hungry appliances such as hot tubs or an electric water heater.

Rewiring isn’t only replacing old wires or changing electrical panels, you might also need to change and upgrade your old sockets, light fixtures, and switches.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at what are the things you need to know about rewiring your home.

Why do you need to rewire a house?

Rewiring a house is essential especially if your house is prone to fire hazards. Older homes are more prone to fire hazards if not inspected properly. Our demand for electricity has changed over the years, as well as our electrical standards.

A fire hazard can grow if you are using too much power for your current wiring. An example of this is using extension cords with extra plugs, which can overload your overall system. Instead of doing things by yourself and causing a fire hazard, having your house rewired can help you reduce the risks of fire and cost you less on your electricity bills.

How long does it take to rewire a house?

Rewiring a house is a tedious task, especially if the house is an old house. There is no exact duration on how long it takes to rewire a house as there are many factors that affect the time of rewiring.

The size of your house, the number of modifications that need to be done, and the accessibility to the wiring affect the length of the electrical works. If your electrician needs to add more upgrades and modifications such as wiring a ceiling fan, USB wall sockets, and modern gadgets and tech, this might affect the duration of the electrical rewiring.
