How to tell if your house needs rewiring: Advice for Aylesbury homeowners.

Signs your house needs a rewire include experiencing a burning smell from outlets or switches, circuit breakers which trip frequently and buzzing sounds coming from the walls or outlets. If the wiring at your home in Aylesbury is around 25-30 years old, wiring may be unsafe and fail to meet modern safety standards. The average cost of a full house rewire in Aylesbury falls between £4,500 and £9,000 but this doesn't include other upgrades you might need such as a new consumer unit. If concerned with the wiring at your home, the best thing to do is reach out to Paradigm Electrical Solutions so that one of the team can inspect the wiring. Through circuit testing and insulation resistance checks, we can confirm individual circuits and the insulation around electrical wires. Reduce the risk of injury or property damage by arranging an initial consultation with Paradigm Electrical Solutions.

What are the benefits of a full rewire Aylesbury?

By ensuring electrical wiring meets regulations such as BS7671, you can significantly improve safety at your home, reducing the risk of electrical fires and electrocution.

Most modern homes use high power systems such as electric showers and tumble dryers so upgrading wiring from an older 60 amp mains to 100amps will help manage the additional loads safely. The team worked with a young family at Northumberland Avenue, Aylesbury after the owners experienced flickering lights in all upstairs bedrooms. As wiring at the property had not been upgraded in a number of years, a full rewire was the best option along with upgrading the fuseboard. The owners mentioned installing solar panels at some point in the future so a full rewire was essential, especially as modern RCD protection would be included.

How long will a full rewire take?

A full rewire at a 3-4 bedroom property takes 7-14 days and is made easier if bulky furniture is moved away from walls and if electricians have access to wiring beneath carpet or flooring. While working at the 4 bedroom detached property on Northumberland Avenue, Aylesbury we managed to complete the first and second fix of the rewire and upgrade the consumer unit within 12 days. We were working on a pretty large property with a number of circuits so although the project was time consuming, both the homeowners and Paradigm Electrical Solutions were very happy with the outcome.
