Fabric-covered wiring, hot outlets, unexplained trips? Old wiring doesn't fix itself. We rewire homes and businesses across Yamba and the Clarence Valley to current Australian Standards - fully certified, fully insured.
Most homes in the Clarence Valley were built when fabric-insulated or early PVC wiring was standard. That wiring degrades over time - the insulation dries out, cracks, and eventually becomes a fire risk. A rewire is not a luxury; it is maintenance that old homes eventually need.
Any one of these is worth a proper inspection - two or more and it's urgent.
If the wires behind your power points or in the ceiling have a cloth weave or rubber jacket, the insulation is past its safe service life. This is the #1 indicator.
A burning plastic smell near power points, switches, or the switchboard - even intermittently - means insulation is breaking down. Don't ignore it.
Breakers or fuses that trip without a clear cause are often a symptom of degraded insulation leaking current to earth. The safety switch is doing its job - the wiring needs replacing.
Renovations routinely uncover old wiring that can't be left in place once work has started. It's far cheaper to address it while the walls are already open.
Insurers and building inspectors increasingly flag unsafe wiring. A Compliance Certificate after a rewire resolves those notices cleanly.
EV charger, solar inverter, or large air conditioning system - these loads need wiring that can actually carry them. Old circuits often can't without an upgrade.
Send a photo of your switchboard or describe what's happening - we'll give you a straight answer.
Most residential rewires are a two- to four-day job. We'll give you a realistic schedule before we start - not a best-case guess.
We look at the existing wiring, board, and wall construction. You get a written, itemised quote - full rewire, partial, or just the problem circuits.
We agree on timing, power-off windows, and how to minimise disruption. We notify Essential Energy if a supply disconnection is needed.
Old wiring out, new TPS cable run, all outlets, switches, and fittings connected and tested circuit by circuit as we go.
Every circuit tested to standard, Certificate of Compliance issued, walk-through with you, and the workmanship guarantee in writing.
A rewire is the right time to tick off other electrical work - the hard access is already done.
New wiring into an old fuse board is a wasted opportunity. Combine the rewire with a new RCD-protected board for a complete, certified result.
