Old wiring made safe and reliable

If your home still has its original wiring, house rewiring in Melbourne is one of the most important safety upgrades you can make. Wiring does not last forever, and older homes often have rubber, cloth or early plastic insulation that has gone brittle, along with circuits that were never built for how much we plug in today. A rewire replaces that ageing wiring with safe, modern cabling and brings the whole electrical system up to current standards.

We handle full rewires and partial rewires, depending on what your home actually needs. Not every house needs everything redone, so we assess the existing wiring honestly and recommend the right scope rather than the biggest job. A rewire is also the perfect time to add power points where you need them, update lighting, and replace an old fuse board with a modern switchboard fitted with safety switches.

We know a rewire sounds disruptive, so we plan it to keep mess and downtime to a minimum. We work room by room where possible, fish cabling through walls and ceilings carefully, and keep patching neat so there is as little making-good as possible. We talk you through the stages, keep your power on where we can, and clean up as we go.

A rewire almost always includes the board, so see Switchboard & Safety Upgrades, and if you want it checked first see Electrical Safety Inspections. We are licensed and insured, rated 5.0 on Google across 600+ reviews, and every job is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

Minimal mess, brought up to standard

Your walls and ceilings should survive the rewire. We plan the work to be as tidy and low-impact as possible, fishing new cabling through existing cavities rather than tearing them open wherever we can. As we rewire, we bring everything up to current standards, including proper earthing, safety switch protection and a modern switchboard. We add or relocate points and lighting while the walls are accessible, so you get the most out of the job. Every circuit is tested and, where required, we issue the relevant safety documentation, so you know the whole system is safe and compliant.

The right scope, full or partial

A rewire is a big investment, so we make sure you only pay for what your home genuinely needs. We inspect the existing wiring, check its age and condition, and work out whether a full rewire is warranted or whether a partial rewire of the worst circuits will do the job. We explain what we find in plain language, with no scare tactics, so you can make an informed decision. Where a staged approach makes sense, we can plan the work over time to spread the cost without leaving anything unsafe in the meantime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Size of the home, full or partial scope, and how accessible the wiring is are the main factors, plus whether the switchboard is replaced at the same time. We always inspect first, then give you a fixed quote for the recommended scope, with no hidden fees. Call 1300 635 294 to arrange an assessment.
Warning signs include frequent tripping, flickering lights, warm or discoloured switches and points, a burning smell, fabric or rubber-insulated wiring, and a fuse board with no safety switches. If your home has its original wiring and is decades old, it is worth having it checked. We can inspect it and tell you honestly where it stands.
Not always a full rewire. Sometimes only the oldest or most-used circuits need replacing, while the rest are sound. We assess the existing wiring and recommend the right scope for your home, rather than the biggest job. Where it helps, we can stage the work over time.
It depends on the size of the home and whether it is a full or partial rewire, but most homes take from a few days to a couple of weeks. We give you a clear timeline after assessing the property and plan the stages to keep disruption down.
Usually not. We plan the work room by room and keep power on where we can, so most people stay in the home throughout. For larger full rewires there may be short periods without power in certain areas, which we plan around you in advance.
