5 Signs It’s Time to Rewire Your Home

Introduction:Electrical wiring isn’t meant to last forever. Over time, insulation wears out, circuits get overloaded, and outdated cables struggle to handle modern appliances. Ignoring old wiring can pose serious fire and safety risks — especially in older Australian homes.

Here are the five most common warning signs your home needs rewiring:

1. Frequent Tripping of Circuit BreakersIf your safety switches trip often, it’s a sign that your circuits are overloaded or wires are deteriorating.

2. Burning Smells or Discoloured OutletsThese indicate overheating wires — a potential fire hazard that needs urgent attention.

3. Flickering or Dimming LightsThis could mean loose wiring or voltage fluctuations.

4. Old-Style Power Outlets or Cloth WiringHomes built before the 1990s may still use unsafe materials that no longer meet Australian standards.

5. Lack of Power Points for Modern AppliancesOverusing extension cords isn’t safe — rewiring allows proper load distribution.
