Rewire Electrician Leeds - DP Electrical Specialists
Do I need a house rewire?
As a homeowner in Leeds, we recommend a house should be rewired every 25- 30 years. We highly suggest a rewire much sooner if you notice any electrical issues.
By rewiring your home, you’ll be bringing the electrical systems up to date with current building regulations which actually makes your property safer and appealing for future buyers if you ever decide to swell your home.
Signs your property might need a rewire?
If your property hasn’t been rewired for a good few years, you might want us to come and have a look at the state of the electrical wiring. With years of experience under our belts, we can determine when the wiring at your property was last inspected and identify any loose connections or possible hazards. In the meantime, there are a few signs you might have noticed around the home.
If you’ve noticed any of the following signs, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us today:
- Any cracked or damaged plug sockets.
- Lights flickering frequently.
- Appliances get very hot once plugged in.
- Electrical hum or buzzing sounds.
What’s involved during a house rewire?
Rewire electricians refer to the stages of rewiring as “fixes”.
The first fix does cause some disruption to your Leeds home, we may need to lift up carpet and flooring, exposed floorboards are then pulled up so then new cables can be installed. During the first fix, we also install new wiring and back boxes to all the plug socket locations in your home.
The second fix involves joining all electric circuits with their associated components such as lights, switches and the fuse box or consumer unit. We use carefully calibrated tools and testing equipment to inspect the circuits and to test that the circuits are indeed safe.
All electrical work is then registered with the local building control and any cosmetic work such as replastering can commence.
Benefits of house rewiring
At D P Electrical Specialists, our rewire electricians in Leeds always say that rewiring your home is a way of future proofing your property and is the responsibility of the homeowner to invest in electrical safety.
There are a number of benefits when it comes to rewiring your home:
- Efficiency- Rewiring involves replacing older wires and components with new electrical components. Much less energy is wasted in the form of heat meaning more useful energy is directed into running your appliances. Improving the efficiency will help to reduce energy bills.
- Smart technology- Modernising the electrical wiring at your home means that you should be able to cope with the demands of more and more electrical appliances in the home. Additionally, many homeowners in Leeds are leaning towards smart technology such as heating controls, home EV charge points and smart security systems. Upgrading the electrical wires ensures your property is ready for such upgrades.
- Safety-Slightly older or dated wiring systems do not comply with current industry standards. Installing modern circuit breakers can reduce hazards such as electrical fires.
