Just as we renew our phone, chargers, and other electrical appliances in our homes, it also makes sense to proceed with the rewiring of the house. No one can deny the dangers associated with the old and worn-out wiring because it can result in an emergency such as electrical fires and short circuits.

If your home’s wiring is pretty old, you can easily observe the wear and tear associated with the switches, outlets, sockets, and wires. It can endanger the safety of the people who live inside the home.

There are two cases where the rewiring or renewal of the wiring of the home becomes compulsory.

The first situation is the one if you have recently purchased the old home and shifted in it. The second situation where the rewiring becomes necessary is if you face problems in the wires and circuits and observe frequent short circuits.

Caring about the rewiring of your home is something that can prevent you from accidental situations.

The first step?

Call the expert electricians for a detailed inspection of your home. If you live in South East Queensland and are looking for a team of experienced electricians for the detailed inspection of your home, Live Services Group can help.

Why is rewiring the house necessary?

The first and most important advantage of proceeding with your home’s wiring is the safety and protection of the individuals living inside.

All commercial property owners and homeowners prioritize the safety and security of their homes, which is possible only with the complete replacement of the wiring every year.

It is no secret that it is quite a big job, and it cannot be done without the help of professional electricians and expert electric technicians who are efficient and proficient in doing their jobs.

So, if you want to maintain peace of mind and are looking for a professional group of electricians who can provide you with detailed rewiring or electric setup replacement services, you should consider taking the services of accredited and licensed electricians of Live Services Group.

Reasons To Proceed with Rewiring

If you have opted for the detailed inspection of your home and you got recommendations for your home’s rewiring, you should get it done as soon as possible.

1.    Rewiring your home protects it from power surges

Nowadays, electrical appliances and power circuits come up with inbuilt power surge protection systems. However, the bad news is that many old homes do not have these automatic inbuilt power surge protection systems. So, electrical appliances and gadgets are highly susceptible to electric issues, short circuits, and fires. In such homes, the homeowners can proceed with the rewiring or installation of the power surge protectors.

2.    Rewiring your home reduces the chances of electric fires

According to recent research, faulty electrical fires and poorly maintained electrical appliances are the major reasons behind electrical fires. After the deep research, we have come to know that there are various ways by which poor rewiring causes the electric fires, such as:

• Over-reliance on power boards and extension cords.
• Touching loose wires with the wooden material can also cause electric fires because the woodworks are like fuel that ignites the fire.

Here it is worth mentioning that nowadays the use of electric appliances is increasing day by day and people use TV, computer, mobile phones, air conditioning systems, kitchen appliances, and electric products more than ever. It can cause problems when you are living in an old home and the wiring is too old and worn out to handle the burden of a large number of electrical appliances.

Six signs your house needs rewiring ASAP!

If you are experiencing any of the given signs, you should immediately proceed with re-wiring your home. Let’s have a look at these early warning signs.

1.    Discolouration on the socket

If you are observing the dimming bulbs, it simply means that your light bulbs are getting burnt in the sockets. When you face problems with the wiring, you will observe loose wiring that will cause the light bulbs to burn. So, if you are facing discolouration on the socket, you can immediately consider it as a first warning sign to upgrade your wiring.

2.    Flickering lights

If you are facing flickering or dimming lights, it is a clear indicator that there are voltage fluctuations due to lose or overloaded wires. Sometimes it can also be due to a lack of power surge protection. Whatever the reason is, you have to consider fixing the electrical problems to reduce the risks of electric fires and short circuits.

3.    A smell of burning electrical wires

It is a common observation that old electrical wiring results in a burning smell. In most cases, the reason is due to the problem with the electrical sockets, loose wiring, or short circuit. Here again, you will have to rely on a team of emergency electricians who can confidently proceed with the area wiring to replace old wiring from your home.

4.    Over-reliance on power boards and extension cords

If you have minimal circuitry, you usually have to overuse extension cords and power boards. However, very few people consider the fact that these temporary things will immediately go to their maximum limits, and there are strong chances that you will face short circuit or electrical fires.

When you proceed with rewiring, the professional electricians will expand your circuitry and advise you to reduce the use of power boards and extension cords. You can also take their guidance by asking for alternatives to extension cords.

5.    Discoloured outlets and switches

Sometimes people observe that switches and outlets turn black, and their colour starts fading. Very few people immediately understand that it is due to faulty electrical wiring.

If you do not consider the immediate solution, you will soon observe electrical sparks, short circuits, and even big fires that will result in an emergency. At this stage, you will need to call the emergency electrician to help you keep your property safe.

6.    Old home or commercial property

If your property is more than 20 or 30 years old, there are good chances that your electrical wiring is out of date, and you will need to pace yourself up with the latest technology and more secure electrical wiring. So, you have to make your property safe by proceeding with the rewiring.
