FAQs
Why might my Newcomb home need a full electrical rewire?
Many Newcomb houses were built decades ago with wiring that was never designed to handle today’s loads from air-conditioning, induction cooktops, EV chargers and smart devices. Ageing rubber or cloth-insulated cables become brittle and unsafe, protective earthing can be inadequate, and older switchboards lack modern safety switches. A full rewire replaces every circuit with new TPS cabling, updated earthing and RCD protection, ensuring your home meets current AS/NZS 3000:2018 standards and dramatically reducing fire and shock risks.
What is included in an attention-to-detail whole-home rewire?
Our team removes all obsolete wiring, installs new TPS cables and earth conductors, upgrades or replaces the switchboard with RCBOs, fits new GPOs, light points and data outlets, labels every circuit, tests insulation resistance and earth continuity, and provides a Victorian Certificate of Electrical Safety on completion. We also patch wall penetrations and clean up daily, so you’re not left with building debris.
How long will the rewire take and will I have to move out?
A typical three-bedroom Newcomb home takes 3–5 working days. Power is normally off only during working hours; we restore a temporary supply each evening so fridges, lights and essentials run overnight. Most clients stay in the home, but if you work from home or require continuous power you may prefer alternate accommodation for the main cut-over day. We schedule works zone-by-zone to minimise disruption.
What does a whole-home rewire cost in Newcomb?
Costs vary with house size, accessibility (under-floor and roof space), number of outlets, and switchboard condition. As a guide, a small weatherboard starts around $8,000–$10,000 inc. GST, while a larger double-storey brick veneer with extras like data cabling or exterior lighting can reach $18,000+. We provide a fixed-price quote after an on-site inspection, so there are no surprises.
Will walls and ceilings be damaged during the rewire?
We use existing wall cavities, roof voids and sub-floor spaces wherever possible. Small holes may be required to fish cables; these are neatly patched and sanded ready for paint. Plaster removal is a last resort and discussed beforehand. Our ‘attention to detail’ approach means we protect floors, furniture and landscaping, and vacuum daily to keep your home tidy.
How do I know the new wiring is compliant and safe?
All work is completed by A-Grade electricians, tested with calibrated instruments, and must pass a mandatory inspection by an independent Victorian Licensed Electrical Inspector. You receive a Certificate of Electrical Safety and detailed test results. This documentation is essential for insurance, property resale and your peace of mind that the installation is 100 % compliant with current regulations.
