You can never put a price on safety in the home, especially in regard to the electrical systems. A home rewire will not only make the wiring safer, it will update what could be some extremely worn – and therefore potentially dangerous – cables and components. The harsh truth is that damaged or deteriorated wiring could lead to major problems.
It can be useful to think of your home’s wiring in the same way you think about its brickwork, floor coverings and roof tiles. You know that at some point over time these materials can deteriorate, and your wiring is no different. Unfortunately, in most cases if your cabling isn’t as safe as it once was, you may not even be able to see where it has become damaged.
Experts say a home should be rewired every 20-25 years or so, and this is a fairly good rule of thumb. If you have concerns about the home’s electrics, a quick call to our specialists could be all you need to put your mind to rest. It’s easy to get in touch with us, and we’ll be only too happy to provide a fair and reasonable quote should a rewire be deemed necessary.
Out with the old, in with the new
If your home hasn’t had an electrical upgrade for many years, the chances are you would benefit from having more electrical outlets in various rooms. While the home is being rewired, it would be the ideal time to add more outlets. Most of us are using far more electrical appliances these days, and this could mean that your current systems are struggling to cope.
Modern wiring in the home is generally PVCu-coated for safety, but in many older systems the wires and cables could be wrapped in lead, rubber or fabric. Replacing these systems is vital, but of course if you’re not sure about the type of wiring you have we can easily find out. We’ve been providing top of the range electrical services to home owners all over Scotland for many years, so you know you’re dealing with the experts.
A safe and effective wiring system is a must these days, so if you have any concerns about yours you should get in touch with the specialists at the earliest opportunity. It may be that you have no need to upgrade, or you may only need a partial upgrade. Either way, it’s best to find out. Leaving things to deteriorate further could be dangerous and will almost certainly be more expensive.
