Signs you need a rewire

Common signs you need a rewire

Signs you need a rewire in your Yeovil home can include flickering lights, blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers, discoloured outlets and switches, an unidentified persistent burning smell, electric shocks and buzzing or crackling noises. Should you encounter any of these issues its time to contact Yeovil Electrics. 

Further to this, should your Yeovil homes electrics be 25-30 years old and you are not currently experiencing any of these issues then a rewire may still be required. 

Why rewire if there are no signs you need a rewire?

By rewiring your Yeovil home simply down to age and no telling signs you will ensure it brings it up to date with current building regulations. It can also add value to the property and even reduce the risk of potential hazards and fires. 

Should there be no Signs you need a rewire then you are still able to take the opportunity to improve the safety and future proof by adding additional sockets and switches to your Yeovil home. If you are looking to sell your home it can also boost the appeal to potential buyers, knowing it is one less thing they will have to get done upon completion.

What else Yeovil Electrics can offer in order to keep your home safe

Yeovil Electrics would strongly recommend you have an Electrical Inspection Condition Report (EICR) carried out every five to ten years depending on the age of your wiring and property type. An EICR is a test of your Yeovil homes electrical system to ensure its safety.

With Yeovil Electrics carrying out an EICR we can assure you; you will be protected from electric shocks and other risks; we will identify any issues before they get worse, and you can use our report to prove any necessary safety measures have been taken should it be required. Ultimately we will be able to confirm or deny whether we feel that although you do or do not have any Signs you need a rewire whether it still may or may not be required. 

What is involved in a home rewire?

Yeovil Electrics will plan out where all new sockets, switches and lights will be. We will then remove your old wiring and replace with new through walls and loft spaces etc. Further to this your consumer unit will too be upgraded in order to cope with the modern-day electrical demands placed upon it followed by new sockets and switches. Yeovil Electrics would also ask you to consider any way in which you could future proof your home and think about how it may change in the years to come with the additions of things like smart technology and electric vehicles.
