Rewire Electrician Christchurch

To ensure electrical safety in your home, regular inspections by NICEIC approved electricians can determine the extent of any electrical rewiring jobs you may need to ensure your home is safe from any electrical hazards such as fires or electric shock.
At Carmichael Electrical Services, we are not only knowledgeable and experienced when providing electrical services as domestic electrical engineers, we use state of the art technology and equipment when conducting electrical tests when finding faults such as loose wires.

Does my Christchurch house need rewiring?

How old is your property? Properties older than 30 years may need new rewiring to deem your property as safe due to the ever changing industry standards. Older wiring systems are very outdated and in some cases cannot cope with the electrical demands of modern day living and the sheer number of appliances we have plugged in at home.

If you’re in doubt and need a rewire electrician Christchurch to come and take a look at your property, give our friendly team a call.

In our experience, there are a range of signs you might be noticing at home that suggest you may need rewiring. Here are a few examples to look out for:

• Plug sockets are very hot to touch after an electric appliance has been plugged in.
• Are you getting electric shocks when you touch a plug socket? There may be a fault in one of your circuits.
• Some older properties may have switches made of cast iron, these may be outdated and need repairing.
• Can you hear an electric hum, buzzing or sizzling sound? This could be caused by loose wires in a circuit.
• Scorch or burn marks on your fuse box.
• Flickering lights.
• Continues tripping of fuses or fuses that blow out regularly.

What does a rewire electrician do?

We aim to cause as little disruption as possible to your Christchurch home while carrying out any rewiring work but a rewire is unfortunately a large and often messy job. Every room in your home will be involved in the process and furniture and floor boards will need to be moved.

Typically we would inspect your electrical circuits and discuss any initial issues you have upon our first inspection at your home. We would then remove any old or faulty wiring and install new wiring and any other components you may require. Examples of components we have installed while carrying out rewiring works include new consumer units, installing new sockets, light fixtures and switches. For some customers we have installed additional items such as adding new cables for state of the art technology such as CCTV cameras and sensor lights.
