FAQs
Why should I consider a whole-home rewire in Mascot?
Homes in Mascot built before the early 1990s often contain ageing cabling, porcelain fuses or wiring that is no longer compliant with the current AS/NZS 3000 electrical standard. A full rewire replaces all obsolete cable runs, earthing, switches and outlets with modern, fire-retardant materials that can safely handle today’s higher appliance loads. This eliminates shock hazards, reduces the risk of electrical fires, and prepares your property for solar, EV chargers and future smart-home upgrades.
How do you ensure the highest safety standards during a rewire?
Our electricians are fully licensed in NSW and follow a strict safety management plan. We isolate each circuit before work begins, use lock-out/tag-out procedures, carry out thermal imaging to locate hidden faults, and install RCD safety switches on every final sub-circuit. All new wiring, switchboards and protective devices are installed to AS/NZS 3000 and the NSW Service and Installation Rules. Every stage is tested with calibrated instruments, and work is supervised by a Level 2 ASP for added compliance assurance.
Will I need to vacate my home while the rewire is being done?
In most cases you can stay in the house, although power will be off in different zones while we replace wiring. We plan the project in stages, keeping essential areas such as the kitchen or a temporary living space energised where possible. If you work from home or have critical medical equipment, we can provide temporary generators or schedule outages around your routine. For major rewires that involve wall removal or asbestos remediation, we may recommend short-term accommodation for 1–2 nights for comfort and safety.
How long does a whole-home rewire take in Mascot?
A typical three-bedroom brick veneer home takes 3–5 working days, while larger multi-storey properties can take 1–2 weeks. Factors that affect duration include roof space accessibility, wall construction (brick vs. plasterboard), the presence of insulation or asbestos, and whether the switchboard also needs upgrading. We provide a detailed timeline after the initial site inspection so you know exactly what to expect.
What certifications and documentation will I receive after the rewire?
Upon completion you receive a Certificate of Compliance for Electrical Work (CCEW) lodged with NSW Fair Trading, a detailed test report showing insulation resistance, polarity and RCD trip times, and an electrical layout plan for future reference. If we upgrade your mains or switchboard, you will also receive a Level 2 ASP Notice of Completion lodged with Ausgrid. These documents validate that your installation meets all statutory requirements and support insurance claims or property resale.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost and what factors influence the price?
Costs in Mascot generally range from $6,000 for a small unit to $18,000+ for a large, heritage-style home. The final price depends on the size of the property, number of circuits, switchboard condition, accessibility of wall cavities and roof spaces, and any special fittings such as smart-home controls or three-phase power. We provide a fixed-price, itemised quote after a free on-site assessment, and all work is covered by a lifetime workmanship warranty and $20 million public liability insurance.
