Identifying When a Home Rewire is Required – Tips from your Expert Edinburgh Electrician

As we enter 2025, you may be looking forward to the year ahead with a potential renovation project on the horizon. Home rewires and renovations go hand in hand with an efficient electrical system being one of the essential cornerstones of all Edinburgh properties. 

Moving forward with a full or partial rewire at your Edinburgh home is a big job that needs to be carried out by an expert Edinburgh electrician such as our team here at DC Electrical Edinburgh. It’s not just renovation projects that set the wheels in motion for a home rewire, having a property that is twenty five years old or older would also warrant an electrical inspection from one of our trusted Edinburgh electricians. Faulty or electrical wiring that has deteriorated over time is one of the most prominent causes of electrical fires within the home so making sure that your property has an electrical inspection at regular intervals is paramount to ensure your home’s safety. Similar to an MOT, having your property inspected will help with identifying any issues or faults which need attention and may also help you budget for any electrical work required. A full rewire of your Edinburgh property would typically take place during a period of significant work on your home (such as a renovation) however serious situations such as fire or flood damage would also escalate the need for a home rewire quite significantly. 

A full or part home rewire will more than likely require installing a new consumer unit or adding additional electrical circuits to your current system and may also require building regulation notification, which one of our expert electrician team can handle for you along with presenting you with an EICR (Electrical Installation Condition Report) post inspection. Your EICR will highlight any defects, damage or deterioration found along with recommendations that can be put in place to ensure your property’s safety going forward.
