Our House Rewiring Services in Rutherford
Full House Rewires
We strip out and replace ageing wiring throughout an entire home, giving every circuit modern cable and a switchboard sized for today's electrical load.
Partial and Staged Rewires
Where a renovation only touches part of the house, we rewire just the affected rooms in stages, keeping the rest of your home liveable throughout.
Renovation Rewiring
Kitchen, bathroom, and extension renovations often trigger new circuits, and we wire these to meet current standards before the walls close up.
Old Wiring Replacement
Original wiring in older local homes is replaced with modern, safety-switch-protected cable that meets AS/NZS 3000 and today's insurance requirements.
Additional Circuit Installation
We add dedicated circuits for kitchens, home workshops, home offices, or EV chargers, so new appliances do not overload wiring never designed to carry them.
New Power Point Wiring
Rewires are the ideal time to add power points wherever a renovation needs them, since running new cable while walls are open costs far less than retrofitting later.
Why Rewiring Choice Matters for Rutherford Homes
The suburb's mix of 1960s to 1980s brick-veneer homes, an older mid-century core, and newer estate builds means original wiring condition varies enormously from house to house:
- Owner-occupiers renovating Rutherford's ageing detached houses commonly trigger a partial or full rewire to meet current wiring standards
- Original wiring in older homes often has no safety switch protection at circuit level
- Insulation and cable sheathing degrade with age, raising fault and fire risk over time
- Compliance to AS/NZS 3000 may be required before a renovation, sale, or lease
- Workmanship and cable quality vary significantly between installers
Ageing wiring often shows up first as flickering lights or a burnt outlet well before homeowners consider a full rewire.
Common Rewiring Problems We Fix Across Rutherford
Ageing wiring near the older core
A significant share of housing near Rutherford's original core still runs wiring from the initial build, well past the point most licensed electricians consider safe.
Renovation rewires in 1960s to 1980s stock
Owner-occupiers renovating Rutherford's large stock of brick-veneer homes commonly need partial or full rewiring to bring the house up to current standards.
Undersized circuits for modern appliances
Original wiring was never sized for today's large ovens, home workshops, or EV chargers, and we add dedicated circuits to carry the extra load safely.
No safety switch protection on old circuits
Circuits wired decades ago often have no RCD protection, leaving a family exposed to shock risk until the wiring is upgraded or replaced.
Deteriorated cable insulation
Old cable insulation cracks and perishes over time, and we replace it before it becomes a fire risk hidden behind walls and ceilings.

Professional Rewiring

Common questions
House Rewiring FAQs
Here is what local homeowners most often ask us about house rewiring, from pricing and timing through to staged rewires around a lived-in home.
How does pricing work for a house rewire?
Every house rewire gets a free, fixed upfront quote after an on-site assessment, so you know the full cost before any work begins on your home.
How long does a full house rewire take to complete?
Most single-storey rewires take several days to a week depending on house size, while staged rewires around a lived-in home can take longer to keep rooms usable.
Is a house rewire covered by a warranty?
Yes, every rewire we complete is backed by a lifetime labour warranty, so the workmanship is covered for as long as you own the home.
What standards do you wire a house to?
We wire every home to current AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules, including correct circuit protection, safety switches, and properly labelled switchboards.
Do I need my whole house rewired, or just part of it?
Not always. Many Rutherford homes only need the circuits affected by a renovation rewired, and we assess your existing wiring before recommending a full or partial rewire.
Do you rewire older homes in Rutherford during a renovation?
Yes, we regularly rewire Rutherford's older 1960s to 1980s homes during renovations, staging the work so the rest of the house stays livable.
