House Rewire Christchurch

Why might I need a house rewire in Christchurch?

If your property in Christchurch hasn’t had any rewiring work in the past 25- 30 years, we highly recommend considering a house rewire. Older wiring is just not compatible with the many electrical appliances used in modern day homes, carrying a greater risk of electrical fires or electrocution.

Older wiring poses further risks as they contain outdated electrical materials and components such as rubber or aluminum wiring will require replacement.

Having conducted numerous house rewires in Christchurch, the majority of our rewire projects have been house renovations or extensions which do require new, fully functioning and safe rewiring.

Particular rooms such as the bathroom or kitchen will require special consideration when conducting a rewire, this is where our expertise, skills and experience come in. As approved electricians, we ensure all wiring is compliant and in line with current regulations, ensuring your safety is paramount.
