FAQs
Why might my Harrogate home need a full rewire?
Cables, switches and consumer units have a working life of around 25–30 years. If your property is older, has outdated rubber or aluminium wiring, lacks sufficient sockets, or shows signs such as flickering lights, warm switches or frequently tripped breakers, a complete rewire is the safest solution. A modern rewire brings the installation up to current BS 7671 regulations, reduces fire risk and prepares the house for today’s power-hungry appliances and future technologies like EV chargers or solar PV.
How disruptive is a whole-home rewire and how do you keep it hassle-free?
A rewire is a major job because cables have to be routed through walls, floors and ceilings, but we minimise disruption with meticulous planning. Before work starts we map out every circuit with you, protect furniture and floors with dust sheets, and phase the project room-by-room so parts of the home remain usable. We use chasing tools with dust extraction, tidy up at the end of each day and keep you updated through a dedicated project manager. Many customers are surprised at how smoothly the process runs.
How long does a typical rewire take in Harrogate properties?
Time scales depend on size, layout and whether the property is occupied. A two-bed terrace usually takes 4–5 working days, a three-bed semi 5–7 days, and larger detached homes 7–10 days. We provide a detailed programme before we start and stick to it, assigning enough qualified electricians to meet the agreed completion date. If extra work crops up, we discuss options immediately so there are no surprises.
Will a rewire increase the value and energy efficiency of my house?
Yes. Surveyors flag old wiring as a major defect, so having a fresh EICR-backed installation can boost saleability and resale value. Modern circuits allow low-energy LED lighting, smart heating controls and A-rated appliances to work safely and efficiently, cutting electricity bills. Many insurers also offer lower premiums on homes with recently certified electrical systems.
Do I need to move out during the electrical upgrade?
Most clients stay in their homes. We typically keep essential circuits—lighting, fridge and boiler—running outside working hours, and we phase work so you always have at least one functional bathroom and kitchen area. If you work from home, we can schedule noisy chasing at pre-agreed times. For very large or heavily furnished properties, a short temporary move can speed up the job and may work out cheaper overall—we’ll advise honestly at survey stage.
What certifications and guarantees do you provide after completion?
On completion you receive: 1) A Building Regulations Part P compliance certificate lodged with Harrogate Borough Council; 2) An Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) signed by our NICEIC Approved Contractor; 3) A six-year workmanship warranty backed by the NICEIC Platinum Promise; and 4) All manufacturer warranties for fittings and accessories. These documents prove the installation meets the latest safety standards and protect you if you sell the property within the guarantee period.
