The Dangers of Old Wiring
Outdated and worn-out electrical cables are extremely dangerous and have a high chance of failing, leaving you without power.
There has never been a good story about old wiring. When someone goes into their roof cavity or underneath a house, touching anything metal in contact with an old, live, exposed wire can lead to catastrophic events.
Wires and cables have changed over the years. These days we have double-insulated cable, which uses an accurate uninterrupted earthing system. This enables a safety switch (RCD – Residual Current Device) to function.
The team at Shuttle Electrics will come to your property, remove old cables from your switchboard, and then rewire the entire house. At the completion of every new installation, we test each circuit to ensure your entire property’s lights, power, and appliances are all set-up properly for safe operation.
Rewiring for Home Renovations
Home Extensions and Interior Design Makeovers
Rewiring is most often done in residential home renovations. We’ll discuss all of your options and the associated costs as we proceed through the project. The same goes for home makeovers when the inside of a property is redesigned and requires entirely new electrical and lighting design and installation.
When rewiring for a renovation we can get into the most challenging access points – not even brick walls can stop us! If we do need to cut holes for access, we’ll discuss this with you beforehand and then plaster the holes up upon completion. With Shuttle Electrics there are never any

Frequently Asked Questions About House Rewiring
How often should a house be rewired?
We know that wiring doesn’t last forever. While wiring can sometimes be serviceable for 40–50 years, we generally recommend a full rewire every 25 years—or sooner if you notice faults or safety issues.
How much does it cost to rewire a house?
The cost of rewiring depends on the size of your home and its location. For example, we usually see prices between $3,000 and $8,000 for a 2-bedroom house (single-phase power), and anywhere from $7,000 to $15,000 for a larger 4-bedroom home. We always provide a clear, tailored quote before starting any work.
What does a full rewire include?
When we carry out a full rewire, we replace all the wiring and install new faceplates for switches and sockets. We also wire in lighting, connect appliances like cookers, extractor fans, electric showers, and heating controls. Finally, everything is connected to your switchboard (consumer unit) and thoroughly tested to make sure it’s safe and ready to use.
