Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my house needs rewiring?

Common signs include flickering lights, frequent breaker trips, warm switches or outlets, fabric or rubber-insulated wiring, no earthing on circuits and a switchboard with porcelain fuses. If your home is over 40 years old and has not been rewired we recommend an inspection.

How much does house rewiring cost in Auckland?

Full house rewiring in Auckland typically costs between $12,000 and $25,000 depending on house size, accessibility and whether walls are open. Partial rewiring is significantly less.

How long does house rewiring take?

A typical three-bedroom home takes between five and ten working days. Larger homes or jobs that need walls opened up take longer. We give you a clear timeline before starting.

Will the power be off during rewiring?

Power is only off in the area being worked on at any one time. We stage the work so you keep power, hot water and refrigeration running where possible.

Can partial rewiring be completed?

Yes. Partial rewiring of specific circuits, the kitchen, bathroom or a single floor is common during renovations. We assess what needs replacing and what can be retained safely.

Is rewiring required for insurance purposes?

Some insurers require older homes to have a current switchboard, RCD protection and updated wiring before they will renew or extend cover. We provide reports suitable for insurance use.

What safety improvements come with rewiring?

Rewiring adds RCD protection on every circuit, current breaker technology, proper earthing, smoke alarm interconnection and safer kitchen and bathroom wiring under the latest standards.
