House rewiring
in Glen Iris.

A bungalow that has been renovated three times can contain wiring from three different eras. Old rubber or cloth cable in the roof space, newer cable in the kitchen and a few joins in between. It might work, but it isn't a system you'd design today. We start by inspecting and testing, then explain what is original and what is not. If you're about to add a rear extension or a second storey, that's the best time for a rewire. Walls and ceilings are open, access is easy and the electrician isn't an extra disruption. In post-war homes further east, wiring is often sound and a partial update is enough. Not every house needs a rewire, and we'll tell you if yours doesn't. If it does, we protect cornices and ceiling roses wherever we can.

What the job involves, warning signs and what's included are on our main house rewires page. For everything else we do locally, see electrician Glen Iris.
