House Rewiring Perth
Perth's House Rewiring Specialists
Old or failing wiring puts your home and family at risk, and it rarely fixes itself. If your switchboard trips often, lights flicker, or the cabling is decades old, a rewire brings the whole electrical system back to a safe, modern standard.
Our team rewires houses of every age and size, from compact units to large family homes and older character properties. We plan the work around you, keep disruption low, and leave everything tested, tagged, and compliant before we finish.
Why Rewiring Matters
Electrical wiring does not last forever. Insulation dries out, connections loosen, and older cable types break down over time, and every one of those faults is a potential fire risk hidden inside your walls. Many older homes across Perth still run on wiring that was never designed for modern appliances, air conditioning, or high household loads.
That overworked cabling overheats, and worn or damaged insulation can arc behind plaster where nobody sees it. A rewire replaces the risk with safe, current cabling, protects your family, and gives your electrical system the capacity it needs for years of reliable use.
Our House Rewiring Services
We rewire homes across Perth, in full or in part:
Full Home Rewires
A full rewire replaces every cable, outlet, switch, and connection throughout the house, then ties it all back to an upgraded switchboard. This is the right choice for older homes running on degraded wiring, properties that have never been rewired, and homes where faults keep appearing in different rooms. We map out the whole job first, stage the work to keep parts of the house usable where we can, and run new cabling through walls, ceilings, and floors with as little mess as possible.
Once the new wiring is in, we test every circuit, install modern safety switches, and hand back a system that is fully compliant and built for modern household loads.
Partial and Circuit Rewires
Not every home needs a full rewire. Sometimes the problem sits in one part of the house, an old kitchen circuit, a run of failing cable in a single room, or an addition wired years ago to a lower standard. A partial rewire targets those trouble spots without touching sound cabling elsewhere, which keeps cost and disruption down.
Our electricians inspect the affected circuits, confirm exactly what needs replacing, and give you a clear quote before starting. We renew the faulty runs, upgrade outlets and switches where needed, and make sure the new work integrates safely with the existing system. Every rewired circuit is tested and certified before we leave.
Replacing Old and Unsafe Wiring
Rubber insulated cable, fabric covered wiring, and early aluminium runs still sit inside plenty of older Perth homes, and all of them degrade in ways that turn dangerous. The VIR and TRS rubber cables common in houses built before the 1970s crack and crumble until live conductors are exposed, while old aluminium connections loosen and overheat. If your home still carries this wiring, replacing it is one of the most important safety upgrades you can make.
We identify every run of outdated cable, remove it, and install modern copper wiring sized for current loads and the AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules. The result is a safer home, far fewer nuisance faults, and electrical work that passes inspection for sale or insurance.
Rewiring for Renovations and Extensions
Renovations and extensions are the ideal time to sort out wiring, because walls are already open and access is easy. Whether you are adding a room, opening up a kitchen, converting a garage, or building out the back of the house, we design the new wiring to suit the layout, appliances, and lighting you are planning.
We coordinate with builders and other trades so cabling goes in at the right stage, then extend or upgrade the switchboard to carry the added load. New circuits are run for power, lighting, and dedicated appliances, all tested and certified. Getting the electrical work right during the build saves you tearing walls open again later.

Signs Your Home May Need Rewiring
Wiring problems usually show warning signs long before they become dangerous. Lights that flicker or dim when appliances switch on, power points that feel warm to the touch, and circuits that trip again and again all point to cabling under strain. Discoloured or scorched switches and outlets, a burning or plastic smell near the switchboard, and buzzing from behind the walls are more serious signals that should never be ignored.
Age matters too. If your home still runs on old rubber or fabric covered cable, has a fuse based board with two pin power points, or has never been rewired since it was built, the insulation is likely well past its safe life. Any of these signs is worth a professional inspection before a small fault turns into a real hazard.
Rewiring and WA Electrical Compliance
Rewiring in Western Australia has to meet real legal standards, not just look tidy. Every circuit we install follows the AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules, and we fit residual current devices, the safety switches that cut power the instant they sense a fault. WA law requires at least two RCDs on the switchboard before a home is sold or leased, and larger homes with more circuits often need more than two. We size and install the right number for your board, so the property is compliant and genuinely protected.
Selling or renting also means mains powered smoke alarms, hard wired into the circuit rather than battery only units. We handle this as part of a rewire and connect it back to the upgraded switchboard. On completion you get a compliance certificate for the work, the document buyers, agents, and insurers look for. If you are preparing a Perth home for sale or lease, we make sure the wiring, RCDs, and smoke alarms all meet the current rules.
Rewiring Perth Double Brick and Character Homes
Most Perth homes are double brick, which changes how a rewire is done. Solid masonry walls cannot simply be opened like timber framing, so we route cabling through the roof space, subfloor, wall cavities, and existing conduit wherever possible, and keep chasing to the spots that genuinely need it. This protects your walls and holds plaster damage to a minimum. Where we do open access points, we cut them cleanly and make them good afterwards, so you are not left with a house full of patched holes.
Older and character homes need the same care taken further. Lath and plaster walls, pressed ceilings, cornices, and timber floors are expensive or impossible to replace, so we plan every run to work around them. These homes often hide the worst cabling, cracked rubber insulation and undersized circuits buried behind decades of renovation, and some old meter boxes sit on asbestos backing that has to be handled safely. We map the full system first, replace every unsafe run, and bring the switchboard up to modern standards.
Switchboard, Three Phase, Solar, AC and EV Upgrades
Modern homes pull far more power than the systems many older Perth houses were built with. A rewire is the point to bring capacity up to what you actually run. We upgrade the switchboard to carry the full load, replace old fuses with circuit breakers and safety switches, and install dedicated circuits for high draw appliances so they are not sharing an overworked line. Where a single phase supply can no longer keep up, we can arrange an upgrade to three phase power for homes running heavy loads.
Solar inverters, ducted air conditioning, induction cooktops, and EV chargers all need cabling sized correctly and circuits of their own. We plan the wiring so it supports what you have now and leaves room for what you add next, which prevents nuisance tripping, overheating, and premature wear. Whether you are electrifying the whole home or adding one large appliance at a time, the rewire gives you a board and cabling built for how the household really uses power.
