Why you should consider rewiring your home

If you own a home it is easy to overlook the condition of your electrical system. Making sure your electrics are safe and meet safety standards in the latest regulations is why you should think about rewiring your home. 

1. Safety First

One of the main reasons to rewire your property is safety. Over time old wiring can be damaged or alterations that have been carried out may not have been completed to a satisfactory standard. One of the main issues we encounter when testing electrics is identifying substandard work that has been carried out over the years when additional sockets and lights are installed. 

Light switches and sockets at all different heights are a good indication of this. 

2. Modern Electrical Demands

Today’s properties use a lot more electricity than in the past. As we use more smart devices, appliances and other electrical equipment outdated electrical circuits may struggle to keep up with the demand of today’s electrical needs. 

If circuit breakers trip off or you are using extension leads in multiple places, it is time to rewire your home. 

3. Energy Efficiency

Rewiring your property may increase energy efficiency as old wiring can be undersized and not run in the most efficient way leading to energy waste. If you rewire your home you can also add other energy-efficient accessories during the process. 

4. Increasing Property Value

Investing in a rewire can raise your property’s value. Some buyers are wary of buying a property with an outdated electrical system. By rewiring your property potential buyers can see the electrical system is up to date and you will also be able to supply an electrical installation certificate. 

5. New Regulations

Electrical regulations change over time and if your property hasn’t been rewired in years it may not meet the requirements of the latest regulations. Rewiring your property ensures your electrical installations meet current regulations keeping you and your family safe. 

6. Electrical Point Placement

Rewiring your property allows you to start with a blank slate and have electrical points exactly where you want them. 

7. Future-Proofing Your Property

Rewiring your property is a great opportunity to future-proof your property for a future loft conversion or other future works. This means in the future you won’t have to install additional cables through your refurbished and decorated property for an extension for example.
