Whether you’ve just moved into a new Edinburgh property, are planning to purchase a home or are thinking about making some improvements, it’s important to consider your electrical supply and wiring system—they are, after all, the very foundation of your home. We do appreciate that knowing where to start can be confusing at times and that’s where our friendly, knowledgeable team here at DC Electrical can help.
If your Edinburgh property hasn’t been rewired in the last 25 years, there’s a good chance it will require a partial or full rewire. A professional home rewire undertaken by an expert Edinburgh electrician firm will ensure that your home meets all current electrical safety standards and more importantly, keeps your family secure & safe. Older electrical wiring may struggle to handle the extra demands of modern living with an array of smart devices & tech-heavy appliances available, alongside increased energy use. Upgrading your Edinburgh property now with a full or partial home rewire means future-proofing your home for years to come.
If you’re planning to make changes to your Edinburgh home by starting a renovation or extension, it’s essential to understand that any material alteration (as defined in building regulations) will most likely require a full or partial electrical rewire. This includes upgrading your consumer unit or fuse box too.
Does your project include adding an extension, converting a loft or renovating a garage? If so it’s essential that all electrical work must comply with the latest and most up to date safety standards. A home rewire assessment will ensure your existing wiring can handle any additional electrical load and that your property is properly earthed and bonded to meet current safety regulations
At DC Electrical, our highly qualified team of Edinburgh-based electricians are committed to making sure your home rewire project runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible. It is important to understand that electrical rewiring can be disruptive, so careful planning is essential and working alongside our expert electrician team to create a project schedule can help manage project expectations and keep things on track.
This first fix stage of any Edinburgh home rewire phase will include installing switches, sockets and electrical back boxes. It is best to try and arrange any plumbing work required to happen during the first fix stage and before and plastering work begins. This is also an ideal time to consider upgrading your smoke alarms, heating controls, and even adding smart home systems for improved functionality and convenience.
No matter the size, scope or complexity of your Edinburgh home rewire project, our experienced electricians are here to guide you every step of the way. We’re proud to deliver the highest quality electrical safety standards that help to ensure your home is as safe and operating as efficiently as it can be for years to come.
