FAQs
What is a whole-home rewire and why might I need one in Mascot?
A whole-home rewire involves replacing all existing electrical cabling, outlets, switches and circuit protection devices with new, safety-compliant components. Homes in Mascot that are more than 30–40 years old often contain ageing rubber or cloth-insulated wiring that no longer meets current Australian Standard AS/NZS 3000. A rewire eliminates fire hazards, supports today’s higher appliance loads and readies the property for smart-home upgrades such as automation hubs, EV chargers and solar integration.
How long does a complete rewire usually take and will I have to move out?
For an average three-bedroom Mascot home, a full rewire typically takes 4–7 working days, depending on roof access, wall construction and the level of smart-system integration requested. We stage the work room-by-room, so you can normally remain in the property, though power will be intermittently shut off. If you work from home or have critical medical equipment, let us know so we can schedule outages around your needs.
What smart-home capabilities can be included during a rewire?
Because the walls are already open, a rewire is the perfect time to add Cat-6 data runs, Wi-Fi access-point cabling, CBUS or KNX automation control lines, smart light switch modules, occupancy sensors, speaker cabling and future-proof conduits. We can also rough-in circuits dedicated to EV charging, battery storage, induction cooking and three-phase air-conditioning, ensuring your Mascot home is ready for upcoming technologies.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost in Mascot?
Costs vary with house size, switchboard condition, number of circuits, and smart-system complexity, but most Mascot rewires fall between $8,000 and $18,000 (GST incl.). Adding smart-home cabling or premium fittings will increase the figure. After an on-site inspection we provide a fixed-price quotation that includes materials, labour, switchboard upgrade, mandatory RCD protection and NSW Electrical Certificate of Compliance.
Will a rewire add value to my property or reduce energy bills?
Yes. Real-estate agents report that buyers pay a premium for homes with modern wiring, upgraded switchboards and smart-home readiness. While newer wiring alone doesn’t cut energy use, the smart lighting, occupancy sensors and load-shedding devices we can install during the rewire can typically reduce a household’s electricity consumption by 5–20 %, translating into ongoing savings.
What approvals or inspections are needed for a rewire in Mascot?
In NSW, a licensed electrician must lodge a "Notification of Electrical Work" (NOW) with Service NSW before starting and issue you an Electrical Safety Certificate on completion. For heritage-listed properties or major switchboard relocations, Bayside Council may also require a development or building application. Our team handles all compliance paperwork and organises the mandatory Ausgrid connection inspection to ensure your rewire is fully certified.
