House rewiring in Townsville

Old cabling in the roof breaks down with age and becomes a real hazard. We rewire Townsville homes to current standards, safely and with as little disruption as possible.

When it's time to look at the wiring

Plenty of North Queensland homes still have rubber-insulated cable and a board that was never designed for today's appliances. If your house is more than 30 years old, or you're noticing any of the signs below, have it checked.

Tingling or shocks from power points
Breakers that trip or fuses that blow
Lights that flicker
Black or perished cabling in the roof
Plans to renovate or add new circuits

How we handle a rewire

Inspection before the quote

We check the wiring, the board and the roof space, and tell you what needs doing now and what can wait.

Quoted room by room

The quote shows what's being replaced, where, and what isn't included.

Staged so you can stay home

Full and partial rewires are staged so the house stays liveable while we work.

No surprises on price

If the roof shows us something the quote didn't allow for, we stop and agree the change with you before carrying on.

Certified to current standards

Wiring, switches and outlets are brought up to current Australian Standards, safety switches go in where they're missing, and you get the certificate of test.

Questions before you book

Homes over 30 years old, or any home with tingling outlets, tripping breakers, blowing fuses, flickering lights or black cabling, should be checked. Our electricians can quickly tell you whether it's still safe.

Contact Ergon Energy straight away. It's a serious safety hazard that needs acting on quickly, followed by an inspection of the wiring.

Not necessarily. We can stage a full or partial rewire around what is most urgent and your budget, and keep the house liveable throughout.
