Referral service. Electrical work is done by independent licensed electricians.
Electrical work that suits how you’ll use the house
A renovation is the cheapest time to fix the electrical. The walls are open, the old wiring can be checked and replaced if it needs it, and you can add the power points, lighting and circuits the house should have had in the first place.
Older homes in particular can have wiring and switchboards that were never designed for modern loads like ovens, air conditioning and a houseful of devices. A licensed electrician can tell you what’s safe to keep and what should go.

Worth knowing before you renovate
Time the electrician with the trades
Rough-in has to happen before the walls are lined. Tell us your timetable so the quote and the date line up.
Old wiring isn’t always the problem
The wiring itself can be fine and the switchboard or protection is what needs upgrading. An inspection is the way to know.
Think about the next ten years
Extra circuits and cabling for air conditioning, an EV charger or solar are cheap to allow for while the walls are open.
Does my house need rewiring?
It depends on the age and condition of the wiring. A licensed electrician can inspect it and tell you.
Can electrical be done while I’m living in the house?
Often, yes, in stages. Mention it in your enquiry so the electrician can plan around it.
Do I need to upgrade the switchboard as well?
Sometimes. It depends on the age of the board and the new loads you’re adding. The electrician will advise.
