Wiring Electrician Brisbane

Safe Wiring For Your Brisbane Home

If you need an experienced wiring electrician, you’ve come to the right place. Our team specialises in repairing and upgrading electrical wiring in residential properties. 

Whether you need a house fully rewired or some existing wiring relocated, a professional electrician from Precision Electrical & Air can handle all your home wiring needs.

Our House Wiring Services

Our house wiring services include installing new electrical circuits (and circuit breakers) when your existing electrical systems cannot handle additional electrical load.

You may want to extend your home’s size by adding air conditioning or a new swimming pool, which will likely require the addition of a new dedicated circuit to take the extra load safely.

If you are moving walls where wiring or data cabling is present, relocating lighting, adding new light switches, power sockets, and ceiling fans, renovating kitchens and moving appliances, we will safely relocate the existing wiring and ensure any new wiring is up to code and working as it should.

If you want to run wires outside for a new shed or, install and extend outdoor lighting into the garden, place new spotlights at the rear of your property or install an electric gate and need someone to supply and install the wiring, we can help.

Full House Rewire

A full house rewire means you are likely doing major renovations, relocating or lifting and restumping an old post-war home, your home is old, the electrical systems have deteriorated, or there has been dangerous and extensive DIY electrical work done.

In these cases, it may be time to rewire your home to avoid potential electrical hazards that could cause a house fire and ensure the best performance.

Rewiring a house means replacing all the old wiring, stripping everything back to the switchboard and starting again. This usually includes replacement light switches, power sockets and all other electrical fittings.

With most jobs, we can likely avoid removing wall linings and thread new wiring through the wall cavities, ceiling spaces or even from the outside when it’s a weatherboard house. However, there are some tight spaces and situations where new holes in walls may have to be created or wall linings removed, which means there are a few additional costs to consider.

Electrical Wiring Safety

One problem with older wiring is the potential it has to cause fire. More than 52 people die each year in Australia from house fires, many more are injured, and thousands of homes are damaged. Electrical fires can start from frayed or damaged wiring where the insulation around it has worn through or cannot handle the high energy loads and needs replacing.

 Another sign of problem wiring can be old charred light switches and outlets, as they are known to lead to house fires. If you have a problem with flickering lights or even strange metallic burning smells, it should be looked at immediately as it could lead to an emergency. 

If your home is over 30 years old, it’s worth having an electrical inspection to check the wiring, as older houses and their wiring systems were not designed as they are today. The electrical wiring of some older homes was made up of steel or wooden tubes used as insulators, which both can become live as they degrade or break down over time.

Older circuits weren’t designed or anticipated to have endless appliances and electrical loads added to them. When the wiring is old or overloaded, it can lead to fuses and breakers regularly ‘tripping’ or switching off. Often, people believe changing the fuse will do it, but most often, the problem is with dodgy DIY or the age of the wiring.

It’s never worth the risk to try to fix any electrical wiring yourself or to ignore the warning signs and leave it. Play it safe and call us so we can make arrangements to check it for you.
