🔌 When and Why You Should Rewire Your Home
By Mayne’s Power – Your Local Expert Electricians in Torquay, Geelong, Anglesea & the Surf Coast
If you live in an older home or are renovating, rewiring your house is not just a good idea—it could be essential for your safety and long-term energy needs. At Mayne’s Power, we regularly carry out full and partial home rewires across Torquay, Anglesea, Geelong, and the Surf Coast, helping families bring their electrical systems up to modern standards.
🔍 How Do You Know If Your Home Needs Rewiring?
Here are the most common signs your home may need an electrical rewire:
-
⚠️ Frequent tripping of circuit breakers or blown fuses
-
🔌 Old or deteriorating wiring, such as rubber or cotton-insulated cables
-
🔥 Burning smells or discoloured power points
-
💡 Flickering lights or buzzing sounds in walls
-
⚡ No safety switches or limited circuit protection
If your home was built more than 30 years ago, it likely doesn’t meet today’s safety standards, and rewiring can significantly reduce fire and shock risks.
💡 Why Rewiring Your Home Is a Smart Investment
-
Safety First
Old wiring is one of the leading causes of electrical house fires. Rewiring ensures your home is safe for you and your family. -
Modern Power Demands
Today’s households use far more electricity than in the past. New wiring supports high-demand appliances, EV chargers, solar systems, and home automation. -
Property Value Boost
A recently rewired home is attractive to buyers. It’s a strong selling point and may increase your home’s market value. -
Energy Efficiency
A rewired home is more energy-efficient and reduces the risk of power loss or overheating.
🛠️ What’s Involved in a Home Rewire?

Disconnecting and safely removing outdated cables
