Why Older Homes Need Electrical Rewiring
Older homes often have outdated wiring systems that pose safety risks and may not support the increased electrical demands of modern living. Typical issues include:
Worn or degraded wiring insulation
Insufficient circuit protection (fuses instead of modern circuit breakers)
Lack of earthing or poor earthing systems
Outdated consumer units (fuse boxes)
Limited power points and lighting circuits
An electrical rewire replaces the old wiring with new, safe cabling and upgrades your consumer unit to current British Standards (BS 7671). This not only reduces fire risks but also provides the capacity needed for modern appliances and smart home technology.
Signs You May Need a Rewire
Not sure if your home needs rewiring? Watch out for these warning signs:
Frequent blowing fuses or tripping circuit breakers
Flickering or dimming lights
Discoloured or warm sockets and switches
Use of extension leads for permanent appliances
Visible signs of damaged or frayed wiring
Power points that feel loose or damaged
If you notice any of these, it’s crucial to contact a qualified electrician to inspect your system.
