Our House Rewiring Services in The Junction
Full House Rewires
We rewire Federation cottages from the switchboard through to every point and fitting, replacing original wiring with a modern, compliant system.
Partial Rewiring
Where only part of a home needs attention, we rewire specific rooms or circuits without disturbing wiring that is already sound.
Renovation Rewiring
Kitchen, bathroom, and extension renovations get new circuits added and existing wiring updated to handle the extra load.
Switchboard Integration
Every rewire is paired with a compliant switchboard, sized correctly for the home's actual circuit count and load.
Heritage-Sensitive Rewiring
Rewiring in heritage-listed cottages is carried out carefully to protect original plaster, cornices, and period features wherever possible.
Why Rewiring Choice Matters for The Junction Homes
Federation cottages built between 1909 and 1915 make up a large share of the suburb's housing, and much of it still carries original wiring:
- Wiring installed over a century ago was never designed for today's appliance loads
- Renovations routinely uncover unsafe or undersized circuits behind original plaster
- Salt-laden air off Bar Beach accelerates deterioration of any exposed old wiring
- Compliance to AS/NZS 3000 may be required before a sale, lease, or renovation sign-off
- Workmanship and cable quality vary significantly between electricians
Warning signs that a rewire may be overdue include flickering lights or a burnt outlet appearing across more than one room in the home.
Common House Rewiring Problems We Fix Across The Junction
Original wiring in Federation cottages
Cottages built in the early 1900s around Glebe Road and Kenrick Street commonly still run wiring from their original construction, well past a safe working life.
Undersized circuits found during renovation
Kitchen and bathroom renovations regularly uncover circuits that were never designed to carry modern appliance loads, needing a partial or full rewire.
Overloaded power points from added appliances
As households add more appliances over the years, original circuits can become overloaded, leading to nuisance trips and overloaded power points.
Fabric or rubber-insulated wiring
Some of the oldest cottages in the suburb still carry fabric or rubber-insulated cable that has degraded with age and needs full replacement.
Salt-affected wiring near the coast
Homes closer to Bar Beach can see faster deterioration of any exposed old wiring due to salt-laden sea air working into connections over time.
