Thinking about Rewiring your house? Electrical fires are one of the leading causes of domestic fires. Faulty or old wiring is a major cause of house fires. With our modern lives, our electrical requirements in our homes and businesses have increased, and old circuits can easily become overloaded and potentially lead to fires. This old wiring or wiring completed by homeowners can leave our homes unsafe and open to potential fires.

If you’re living in an older home, there is a chance that your switchboard is not up to ASNZ regulations. For your own safety, it’s important to have this looked at. Many older switchboards do not have RCD protection - devices that cuts your electricity when a dangerous situation is detected. These devices lower your chances of injury and are included in all modern switchboards. The more up to date your switchboard, the safer and more energy efficient your home will be.
