FAQs
Why would my Mascot home need a whole-home rewire?
Homes in Mascot that are 20–30 years old or more often contain outdated cabling such as VIR or rubber-insulated TPS. These materials become brittle, overheat and fail insulation resistance tests, posing fire and electric-shock risks. A full rewire removes every obsolete cable run, replaces it with modern TPS or XLPE cabling, and upgrades switchboards, earthing and RCD protection to the latest AS/NZS 3000 standards—dramatically improving safety, capacity and reliability.
What makes an “advanced technology” rewire different from a standard one?
In addition to replacing ageing power and lighting circuits, an advanced technology rewire future-proofs your home with: • Cat-6/Cat-6A data cabling for high-speed internet and streaming • Fibre or coax backbone for NBN and MATV distribution • Smart-home wiring looms for lighting control, security, HVAC and blinds • EV-charger-ready sub-circuits and load-shedding controllers • Surge protection devices and Type A RCBOs on every circuit You receive a structured cabling plan that supports today’s devices and tomorrow’s upgrades without costly post-fit cabling.
How long will a whole-house rewire in Mascot take, and do I need to move out?
A 3-bedroom brick veneer typically takes 5–7 working days; larger, double-storey or heritage homes may need 10–15. We stage the job room-by-room to keep essential circuits live overnight, so most clients stay in the property. However, you will experience daytime power outages, noise and some wall/ceiling access holes. If you work from home or have small children, arranging temporary accommodation for 1–2 key days (usually switchboard changeover) can make the process easier.
Will rewiring improve energy efficiency as well as safety?
Yes. New copper conductors sized correctly for load reduce voltage drop and heat loss, while LED-optimised lighting circuits cut lighting energy by up to 80 %. Smart switches, motion sensors and home-automation dimmers trim wastage further. Upgrading to RCBOs and surge protection prevents nuisance tripping and appliance damage, extending equipment life and saving replacement costs.
Do I need council approval or inspections for a rewire in Mascot?
For internal rewiring only, Bayside Council generally doesn’t require Development Approval. However, NSW Fair Trading mandates that a licensed electrician lodge a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) and arrange an Ausgrid Level 2 inspection if the service mains or meter are altered. We handle all notifications, safety certificates and final testing, and provide you with a full test report and CCEW on completion.
How much does a whole-home rewire with advanced technology features cost?
Prices vary by size, access and scope, but as a guide: • Standard rewire: $9 000–$15 000 for a 2–3 bedroom unit or cottage • Advanced technology rewire: $15 000–$25 000 including data, smart-home and EV circuits. Costs are calculated on circuit count, number of points, switchboard upgrade, cable type and wall/ceiling access.
