Factors that influence the cost of a house rewire in the Geelong, Torquay and Surf Coast area.

Wiring in our homes supplies safe and effective amounts of electricity to our household lights & power appliances. Unfortunately, not all good things can last forever. Wires expire after a certain amount of time and rewiring is critical to avoid accidents or incidents like fires and electrical shocks.

When looking at rewiring your home, there are several factors that can influence the cost and processes of your local electrician.  These elements should be considered by both your electrician but also by yourself, the homeowner.

Listed are factors that can alter the price and work time of rewiring in your home:

Roof Types/Shapes – Whether it be a skillion, gable, hip or flat roof, the shape and type of roofing on your home can alter the accessibility of an electrician to the wiring issue at hand.

Roof Materials – Another element of the roof that can again impact that accessibility of the electrician is the materials it is made from. Tiles or tins are the most common types of roofing, of which both require different processes to acquire access for such jobs.

Wall Materials – Are your outer walls bricks, timber, cladding or colour bond? This is another element your electrician needs to know about your home to assess the difficulty of the job and accessing the wiring.

Floor construction – Is your floor concrete or bearers and joists? Your answers to such questions will allow your electrician to understand the required job and whether the floor construction will help or hinder the job at hand.

Light fittings – Pendants, down lights, wall lights or track lights all require specific wiring and therefore depending upon the light fittings in your house, this will alter the work required by the electrician.

All these elements are important to note for each individual job and can alter the price of materials needed and labor time for your electrician.  To speak to an electrician about your wiring needs specific to your household or get a quote today, contact the Mayne’s Power team today on 0408315004.
