House Rewiring in Elland

Rewiring a home is about the most major electrical work that could be undertaken in a property. It is therefore important to consider when rewiring may be necessary and to plan for the works.
When should a home be rewired?

Modern electrical cables are tested to the extreme and can last for several decades if looked after correctly. Whilst the guarantee on electrical wiring is not that long, the design life of the cables stated by manufacturers is at least 25 years under heavy prolonged use.

There are various factors that could affect the life of electrical cable, wiring accessories, fuse boxes and other components of your electrical system such as:
•    Loose connections
•    Poor installation standard
•    Electrical products of poor quality
•    Lightning Strike, surges, flooding
•    Additions carried out badly
•    Heavy prolonged use

Many homes electrical systems last for 30 years or more, especially when use has been light, electrical testing and maintenance has been carried out by a professional and any additions have been carried out professionally.

The best way to know when a home should be rewired is to have and thorough electrical inspection carried out by a professional electrician. We can do this for you and give you an honest opinion on the condition of your wiring. Get in touch with us today and we will do our best to help.
