House Rewire

HOUSE REWIRING across Melbourne's Eastern Suburbs

Older homes are charming, but the electrical wiring underneath can be a hidden danger. Rubber-sheathed wiring, outdated fuse boxes, and circuits not designed for modern appliances can all pose serious fire and safety risks. AVP Electrical Services offers professional full and partial house rewire services across Melbourne’s eastern suburbs, bringing your property up to current safety standards with minimal fuss.

SIGNS YOUR HOME MAY NEED REWIRING

Wiring is more than 25–30 years old
You have an older fuse box with ceramic or rewirable fuses
Lights flicker or dim when other appliances are turned on
You frequently experience tripped breakers or blown fuses
Power points feel warm, look discoloured, or spark when plugged in
You’re planning a major renovation or extension
An electrical inspection has identified unsafe wiring

REWIRE PROCESS

We start with a thorough assessment of your existing wiring and a discussion of your current and future electrical needs. We then plan the rewire to minimise disruption and wall damage where possible, working methodically through each circuit. All new wiring is installed to current Australian Standards, tested thoroughly, and accompanied by a Certificate of Electrical Safety.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Do I need to move out during a rewire?

For a full rewire, it’s often more practical to have the home vacant, but we work with homeowners to minimise disruption where possible. Partial rewires can usually be done while you’re living in the property.

How long does a house rewire take?

A full rewire of an average 3–4 bedroom home typically takes 3–5 days. We’ll give you a clear timeline as part of your quote.

Will there be significant damage to my walls?

We use careful techniques to minimise wall damage. Some patching may be required, and we’ll advise you on what to expect before we start.

What’s the cost of a house rewire?

The cost depends on the size of your home, the complexity of the existing wiring, and what upgrades you want to include. We provide detailed, transparent quotes so there are no surprises.
