House Rewiring Services in Sunbury

Old electrical wiring is one of the most significant and underappreciated safety risks in Australian homes. Wiring that is 30 or more years old was often not installed to current standards, and even wiring that was correct at the time of installation deteriorates over the years. Degraded insulation, corroded connections, and outdated circuit protection create genuine fire and electrocution risks.

Norris Electrical rewires homes across Sunbury and surrounding areas. Whether you are dealing with old cloth and rubber wiring, an aluminium wiring system, or simply an outdated electrical layout that no longer meets your household’s needs, we will bring your home up to modern standards safely and efficiently.

  • Full home rewires
  • Partial rewires (specific circuits or areas)
  • Old wiring replacement (rubber, cloth, aluminium)
  • New switchboard installation as part of the rewire
  • Renovation rewiring

What Happens During a House Rewire

A house rewire is a significant project and Norris Electrical manages it carefully to minimise disruption and deliver a quality result:

  • All existing wiring throughout the home is replaced with new cables that meet current Australian wiring standards.
  • A new switchboard with modern circuit breakers and safety switches on all required circuits is installed as part of the rewire.
  • All new power points, light switches, and fittings are installed and correctly labelled.
  • Every circuit is tested before power is restored and a Certificate of Electrical Safety is issued on completion.

We make every effort to run cables through existing cavities to minimise wall damage throughout the process.

Signs Your Home Needs Rewiring

Not sure if your home needs rewiring? Norris Electrical recommends booking an electrical safety check if you notice any of the following:

  • Flickering or dimming lights – Often a sign of a loose connection or overloaded circuit.
  • Frequently tripping circuit breakers – Can indicate deteriorating wiring or overloaded circuits.
  • Burning smell from power points or switches – This is an emergency. Stop using the affected circuit and call us immediately.
  • Discoloured or warm power points – Signs of a poor connection or overloading that needs urgent attention.
  • Visible cloth or rubber-sheathed wiring – If you can see this in your roof cavity or walls, it is past its useful life.
  • Home more than 40 years old without a rewire – Worth having it inspected at minimum.

Our House Rewiring Process

1.

Initial inspection and quote
We inspect your existing wiring, switchboard, and electrical layout to fully understand the scope of work required and provide a detailed, fixed-price quote.

2.

Planning and preparation
A detailed work schedule is agreed, power isolation is arranged with the network provider where required, and all materials are procured before work begins.

3.

Rewiring
New cables are installed throughout the home, running through roof and floor cavities wherever possible to minimise wall damage. A new switchboard with circuit breakers and safety switches is installed.

4

Testing and certification
Every circuit is tested before power is restored to the home. A Certificate of Electrical Safety is issued on completion and we walk you through the new switchboard layout.

Do You Need to Move Out During a Rewire?

Whether you need to vacate during a house rewire depends on the scope of the work. Here is an honest assessment from Norris Electrical:

  • For a full home rewire, there will be periods without power and some disruption to living areas as cables are installed throughout the home. Many clients choose to stay with family or friends during this period.
  • For partial rewires or section-by-section work, it is often possible to remain in the property with some inconvenience.
  • We aim to restore power at the end of each working day and work as quickly as possible to minimise the disruption period.

We discuss this in detail with every client at the planning stage so you know exactly what to expect.
