How do I know if my property needs re-wiring?
A re-wire is necessary when your electrical installation is unsafe, not just because it may happen to be old. There are a lot of factors that can affect how the electrical system might become unsafe and/or inefficient. If in doubt the best way to be sure is to have a periodic inspection by professional electricians and keep an eye yourself on the condition of the electrics – things like buzzing or crackling sounds, burn marks on plugs and sockets, fuses blowing or circuit-breakers tripping frequently could be signs that the wiring is failing and becoming hazardous.
