Our House Rewiring Services in Holmesville
Full House Rewires
We strip out and replace ageing wiring throughout an entire home, giving every circuit modern cable and a switchboard sized for today's electrical load.
Partial and Staged Rewires
Where a renovation only touches part of the house, we rewire just the affected rooms in stages, keeping the rest of your home liveable throughout.
Renovation Rewiring
Kitchen, bathroom, and extension renovations often trigger new circuits, and we wire these to meet current standards before the walls close up.
Old Wiring Replacement
Original rubber, VIR, and cloth-insulated wiring in Holmesville's older homes is replaced with modern, safety-switch-protected cable that meets AS/NZS 3000.
Additional Circuit Installation
We add dedicated circuits for kitchens, home offices, pools, or EV chargers, so new appliances do not overload wiring never designed to carry them.
New Power Point Wiring
Rewires are the ideal time to add power points wherever a renovation needs them, since running new cable while walls are open costs far less than retrofitting later.
Why Rewiring Choice Matters for Holmesville Homes
The village's mix of original miners' cottages from the 1898 Holmes subdivision, post-war weatherboard and fibro homes, and newer brick-veneer infill means original wiring condition varies enormously from house to house:
- Owner-occupiers renovating the village's century-old cottages commonly uncover old rubber, VIR, or cloth-insulated wiring that needs full replacement
- Original wiring in older homes often has no safety switch protection at circuit level
- Insulation and cable sheathing degrade with age, raising fault and fire risk over time
- Compliance to AS/NZS 3000 may be required before a renovation, sale, or lease
- Workmanship and cable quality vary significantly between installers
Ageing wiring often shows up first as flickering lights or a burnt smell well before homeowners consider a full rewire.
Common Rewiring Problems We Fix Across Holmesville
Original wiring in 1898 subdivision cottages
Many of Holmesville's earliest miners' cottages, dating back to the 1898 Holmes subdivision, still carry original rubber, VIR, or cloth-insulated wiring well past the point most licensed electricians consider safe.
Ceramic fuse boards feeding old circuits
Older cottages and post-war homes across the village often pair ageing wiring with a ceramic-fuse switchboard, so a rewire is frequently paired with a board upgrade for full protection.
Renovation rewires in weatherboard and fibro homes
Owner-occupiers renovating the village's weatherboard and fibro housing stock commonly need partial or full rewiring to bring the home up to current standards.
Undersized circuits for modern appliances
Original wiring was never sized for today's kitchen appliances, EV chargers, or pool equipment, and we add dedicated circuits to carry the extra load safely.
No safety switch protection on old circuits
Circuits wired decades ago often have no RCD protection, leaving a family exposed to shock risk until the wiring is upgraded or replaced.

Common questions
House Rewiring FAQs
Here is what local homeowners most often ask us about house rewiring, from pricing and timing through to staged rewires around a lived-in cottage.
How does pricing work for a house rewire?
Every house rewire gets a free, fixed upfront quote after an on-site assessment, so you know the full cost before any work begins on your home.
How long does a full house rewire take to complete?
Most single-storey rewires take several days to a week depending on house size, while staged rewires around a lived-in home can take longer to keep rooms usable.
Is a house rewire covered by a warranty?
Yes, every rewire we complete is backed by a lifetime labour warranty, so the workmanship is covered for as long as you own the home.
What standards do you wire a house to?
We wire every home to current AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules, including correct circuit protection, safety switches, and properly labelled switchboards.
Do I need my whole house rewired, or just part of it?
Not always. Many Holmesville homes only need the circuits affected by a renovation rewired, and we assess your existing wiring before recommending a full or partial rewire.
Do you rewire the old miners' cottages in Holmesville?
Yes, we regularly rewire Holmesville's original miners' cottages from the 1898 subdivision, staging the work so the rest of the home stays livable.
