ELECTRICAL HOME MAINTENANCE

It pays to invest in regular electrical maintenance to keep your power working safely and efficiently.  Unsafe wiring, plugs and appliances are a danger to the health & safety of your family, as well as a potential fire danger.  Have Peace of Mind by getting professionals to attend to a lived-in property's everyday wear and tear.

Problems to keep an eye on when considering the electrical wiring of your home:  How old is your home's wiring? Faulty wiring is a common cause of house fires around New Zealand. Many of us live in houses more than 30 years old, with crumbling wiring hidden behind perfectly maintained walls. If you purchased your property in more or less original condition or only partially renovated, it's highly recommended you get your electricals checked by a registered electrician.

If old wiring is overloaded, due to the many appliances we ask it to support, your cabling is no longer safe.  Older homes with original wiring tend to have few plugs leading to a maze of extension cables at serious risk of overload. Appliances such as hair dryers, toasters, and kettles pull a lot of power and can overheat the wires quickly.

Switchboards keep your home and the occupants safe, but only if well functioning and maintained. Like cables, the switchboards start to disintegrate after many years of service and become a safety issue instead of an asset. Older switchboards miss RCD protection. RCD protection is what cuts the power if there's a fault. This is what keeps you and your loved ones safe.

Protect your family and your most important asset with regular electrical home maintenance. The higher costs of rewiring and a new switchboard will pay off with safety and peace of mind.

On a lighter note – didn't you always want an extra plug at your desk? Do you regularly trip over that one extension cable?  You have invested in a beautiful home and set it up so it's enjoyable, safe, and fun. Now let us help you keep it that way.
