Signs of wiring issues

  • Frequent electrical surges.
  • Flickering or dimming lights.
  • Buzzing or sizzling sounds from outlets or switches.
  • Burning odour near electrical outlets.
  • Outlets or switches that are warm to the touch.
  • Loose Outlets.
  • Frequent tripped breakers and blown fuses.
  • Damaged insulation.
  • Bulbs burning out quickly.

To Rewire Your Home or Not

Not all wiring issues need rewiring. The team at ABC Electrical Contracting employ various troubleshooting techniques to assess whether rewiring is necessary. Below are few of the common steps taken during our evaluation:

Visual Inspection

Visible components of the electrical system are examined, including outlets, switches, and the electrical panel, looking for signs of wear, damage, or outdated components.

Testing Outlets and Switches

With specialized tools, our electricians test outlets and switches to ensure proper functionality. Malfunctions, such as inconsistent power supply or sparking, may indicate wiring issues.

Circuit Testing

Electricians check circuits for overloading by testing the amperage and voltage levels. Overloaded circuits can lead to safety hazards and may necessitate rewiring.

Voltage Drop Testing

A voltage drop test helps identify areas with inadequate electrical conductivity. Significant voltage drops may indicate deteriorating wiring that requires attention.

Insulation Resistance Testing

This test assesses the condition of insulation around wires. Low insulation resistance may point to aging or damaged wiring, prompting the need for rewiring.

Fault Finding

Fault-finding techniques are utilized to identify and rectify issues such as short circuits, which can be indicative of underlying wiring problems.

Electrical Panel Inspection

Examining the electrical panel is crucial. Burn marks, buzzing sounds, or a panel that feels excessively warm can suggest issues with the wiring that may require rewiring.

Ground Fault Testing

Identifying ground faults is essential for safety. If ground faults are recurrent, it may signal problems within the wiring that demand attention.

Load Analysis

Electricians conduct load analysis to determine if the existing wiring can support the electrical demand. If the load exceeds the capacity, rewiring may be recommended.

Reviewing Electrical History

A review of the property’s electrical history helps us understand past issues or modifications. Recurring problems may suggest the need for comprehensive rewiring. This includes consultation with the property owners.

Designing House Wiring/ Rewiring

Designing home wiring involves a careful consideration of electrical safety, efficiency, and functionality. We design based on various factors, including:

Load Calculation

Determining the electrical load requirements of each room and area in the house, considering lighting, appliances, and electronics. Load calculations are done to ensure that the wiring can handle the expected demand, preventing overloading and potential hazards.

Circuit Planning

Circuits are organised based on the electrical load and function. Load is distributed evenly adhering to electrical codes.

Outlets and Switch Placements

These are designed based on client requirements, convenience, functionality, practical use of space and the building codes.

Grounding and Bonding

Implement proper grounding and bonding to enhance electrical safety.

GFCI and AFCI Protection

 Incorporate Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) in areas prone to moisture (kitchens, bathrooms, outdoor spaces) and Arc Fault Circuit Interrupters (AFCIs) to detect and mitigate the risk of electrical fires due to arcing.

Cable and Wiring Selection

Choosing appropriate wiring types and sizes based on the anticipated load and circuit requirements, as well as energy-efficient considerations.

Future Expansion Considerations

Designing the system with future needs in mind, including extra circuits or conduit for potential upgrades or additions. This can also include integration of smart home devices and other technological advancements.

Benefits of Rewiring

Enhanced Safety

Reduce the risk of electrical fires and ensure the safety of your home and family.

Improved Efficiency

Upgrade to modern wiring standards for a more efficient and reliable electrical system. Old wiring can cause energy loss through inefficient pathways, and an electrical rewiring result in paying less on your electricity bill.

Increased Home Value

Up-to-date electrical systems contribute to the overall value of your property.

Adaptability to Technology

Accommodate the growing number of electronic devices and appliances with a robust electrical infrastructure.
