Electrical wiring is in every room of your home and is used every day, every time you switch on a light, every time you use a power outlet, and every time you turn on an appliance. But have you ever thought about the safety of the cabling in your home?
If you had old appliances from pre-1960s, you probably would have upgraded them by now. However, often the old, unsafe wiring in our Melbourne homes can go unnoticed!
Kenner Electrics are your local, trusted experts for house rewiring services, ensuring your house rewiring project is completed safely. If you need your house rewired due to faulty wiring or outdated electrical components, we’re here to help throughout the eastern suburbs.
Old electrical wiring, recalled cable or improper cable use can cause serious electrical hazards in homes. If your house was built before 1980, Energy Safe Victoria recommends that it be inspected to make sure that the cabling is safe and in good condition.
If your home is over 30 years old it may have lead sheathed cables or old single-insulated cotton/rubber cabling (which are now no longer compliant). The insulation on these types of cable has significantly deteriorated since its installation, and any disturbance could expose live wires. This creates a major fire hazard, as well as a risk of electric shock.
Old, unsafe wiring in older homes requires rewiring with Modern TPS Cabling (Thermoplastic Sheath), which provides long-lasting, reliable insulation of cabling throughout your house to prevent fires and electrical shock hazards. If your home does not have earth wiring to the light fittings, this can be installed at the same time as the rewire to provide protection from electric shock.
Any DIY electrical modifications that have been made on the house also present a risk of fire or electric shock. The main safety issues related to the presence of unlicensed electrical wiring include the use of the wrong cabling, undersized cabling, or exposed live components.
Do you know what type of cabling is in your home? Ensuring the electrical safety of your home is a vital part of home maintenance, and the only way to be sure is to get your cabling inspected by a licensed electrician. Experienced house rewiring electricians like Kenner Electrics will be able to identify the type of cabling and also provide recommendations for the best solution to keep your home and family safe.

Is dangerous cabling putting your home at risk?
Electrical Distributors (ie. United Energy) can issue a defect notice to homes in the event of a major electrical fault caused by unsafe wiring. Under the defect notice you’re either given a short window of time to rectify the fault (which usually requires partial or whole house rewiring) before they shut off the power to your house or they may simply shut off power if they deem the house too unsafe.
If you’re aware of old or deteriorated wiring in your home, why not have it rewired on your own terms without the threat or urgency of disconnection?
