So how can you tell if your East Sussex property needs rewiring? To the untrained eye it’s not easy to spot if your house is need of rewiring, because as you are probably already aware, most of, if not all of your electrical cabling is hidden behind walls and up in the loft space.
Not everyone is a trained electrician, so it can be extremely difficult to tell, and since cabling in many properties has changed quite significantly over the years, it can be even harder to tell for more than others.
Being able to determine whether your property needs rewiring ultimately depends on how old the property actually is and in fact when the last time it was wired. The best thing we can recommend to do at DH Electrical Contractors is to have a rewiring survey completed on your property, and we are able to do this for any property throughout Bexhill and East Sussex.
Even just by looking at your fuse box or consumer unit you may come across a sticker that contains the details of installation, however, if the property has since been rewired this information can sometimes be misleading.
There are other ways to work out if your property needs rewiring, for instance if you simply take a look at your plug sockets to find any visible wiring, plug sockets getting hot when is use, and any wiring that looks old and may be frayed will almost certainly need rewiring.
