House Rewiring Melbourne: Protect Your Home and Loved Ones
Electrical Wiring And Rewiring Experts Melbourne
Is your home’s electrical system showing signs of age? Outdated electrical wiring isn’t just an inconvenience—it’s a serious safety risk for your family and property. At Melbourne Wiring Services, our team of licensed electricians specialises in comprehensive house rewiring solutions suited to your home’s specific needs.
Your home’s electrical system is the lifeline that powers everything from essential appliances to entertainment systems. Over time, electrical wires deteriorate, creating possible hazards that shouldn’t be ignored. Our electrical contractors in Melbourne bring over 12 years of experience to every project, making sure your home’s electrical wiring meets current Australian safety standards.
Rewiring Services We Offer
Home Rewiring
Complete house rewiring involves replacing all the electrical wires throughout your property. This service is ideal for older Melbourne homes with outdated wiring systems that no longer meet safety standards or can’t handle modern electrical demands. Our electricians carefully assess your home’s electrical system before developing a rewiring plan that reduces disruption while maximising safety and reliability.
During a full home rewiring, we’ll replace old switchboards with modern units featuring safety switch protection, install new subcircuits, and add proper grounding throughout your home. This thorough approach not only improves safety but also increases your property’s value and electrical efficiency.
Partial Rewiring
Not every home needs a complete rewiring. Our partial rewiring service focuses on specific areas of concern in your electrical system. This might include updating wiring in renovated rooms, replacing damaged sections, or upgrading circuits to handle increased power demands from new appliances.
Our Melbourne electrical contractors will conduct a detailed inspection to identify problem areas and recommend targeted solutions that address your specific needs without unnecessary work. This approach saves you time and money while still maintaining electrical safety throughout your home.
Wiring Replacement
Sometimes you need specific electrical wiring replaced due to damage, renovation, or to support new electrical installation. Our wiring replacement service focuses on updating individual circuits, installing new switches and power points, or replacing damaged wiring sections.
Whether you’re adding new lighting points or need to replace faulty wiring, our electricians provide exact, code-compliant solutions that work smoothly with your existing electrical system.
Signs Your Home Needs Rewiring
-
Age
Is your home more than 25 years old with its original wiring? Older electrical systems weren’t designed to handle today’s power demands. Homes built before 1980 often have outdated wiring types that deteriorate over time. Our electrical safety inspections can determine if your aging system needs attention before problems occur.
-
Tripping
Frequent circuit breaker trips aren’t just annoying—they’re warning signs. When your electrical system can’t handle the power load, breakers trip to prevent overheating. If you’re constantly resetting breakers, your home’s electrical wiring likely needs assessment and possible replacement by qualified electricians.
-
Smell
Notice burning smells near outlets or switches? This is never normal and requires immediate attention. Burning odours often indicate that electrical wires are overheating within your walls—a serious fire hazard that demands professional inspection. Don’t wait until it’s too late; this warning sign requires prompt action from licensed electrical contractors.
-
Lights Flickering or Dimming
When lights flicker or dim when appliances turn on, your electrical system is struggling to meet demand. This common issue in older Melbourne homes indicates inadequate wiring that can’t handle modern power requirements. Our electricians can assess your system and recommend proper upgrades to provide consistent, reliable power throughout your home.
-
Fuse Blows Regularly
Outdated fuse boxes that frequently blow fuses are clear indicators your electrical system needs attention. Modern homes require circuit breakers and safety switches that provide better protection. Our switchboard upgrade services replace old fuse boxes with modern units that enhance safety and reliability while meeting current electrical standards.
Key Concerns in House Rewiring
Outdated Electrical Wiring
Homes with outdated electrical wiring, such as knob-and-tube or aluminium wiring, pose serious electrical safety hazards and are not equipped to handle the demands of modern electrical systems.
Lack of Grounding
Homes without proper grounding may experience issues with electrical surges, equipment damage, and significant safety risks during electrical storms.
Overloaded Circuits
Overburdening circuits with too many appliances or devices can lead to circuit breakers tripping, flickering lights, or even sparking electrical fires.
Inadequate Lighting
Poorly lit areas due to insufficient lighting points or outdated fixtures not only reduce comfort and functionality but also pose safety risks.
Inadequate Power
A lack of sufficient power outlets in key areas of the home often results in the extensive use of extension cords, increasing the risk of electrical hazards.
Faulty Wiring
Damaged, frayed, or incorrectly installed wiring can result in electrical shocks, short circuits, and various safety risks.

Consider house rewiring if your home has outdated wiring (pre-1980s), you experience frequent electrical issues like tripping breakers or flickering lights, you’re planning a major renovation, or your electrical system can’t support modern appliances and technology.
