Rewiring

Rewiring

Rewiring is when part or all of a property’s electrical wiring is removed and replaced. You might need rewiring done if your electrical installation is old, damaged or not working. It’s important to make sure electrical wiring is in good condition; otherwise it can be a fire hazard or lead to injury through electrocution.
