What is an Electrical Rewire?
- Updated January 2024.
An electrical rewire involves replacing part or all of the electrical wiring of a building to ensure safety and compliance with current electrical standards. This process is often necessary in older buildings where the existing wiring may not be suitable for the power demands of modern appliances, or it may no longer meet safety standards.

- Inspection and Assessment: Before rewiring, an inspection is carried out to assess the current state of the electrical system. This helps determine the extent of rewiring needed.
- Removal of Old Wiring: The old, potentially unsafe wiring is carefully removed. This process can be complex, especially in older buildings where the wiring may be embedded in walls or ceilings.
- Installation of New Wiring: New electrical wires are installed to replace the old ones. This includes running cables through walls, ceilings, and floors, as needed.
- Upgrading Electrical Components: Along with new wiring, other components like outlets, switches, and the fuse box or circuit breaker panel may also be upgraded. This is to ensure the entire system can handle the electrical load safely.
- Ensuring Compliance with Standards: The new wiring and components are installed in compliance with the latest building codes and safety standards. This includes proper grounding and bonding of electrical systems.
- Testing and Safety Checks: After installation, the new electrical system is thoroughly tested for safety and functionality. This includes checking for proper circuit functioning, grounding, and load capacity.
- Enhancements for Modern Needs: The rewiring process may also involve enhancements to accommodate modern needs, such as additional outlets, specialized circuits for home appliances, or provisions for smart home technologies.
- Finalization and Cleanup: After rewiring, any openings in walls or ceilings are repaired and the property is cleaned up. The electrician might also provide a walkthrough to explain the new system and any changes made.
