The scope of a rewire depends on the wiring already in the property, how much of the house is affected, and whether the switchboard or supply also requires attention.

Where supply-side work is also required, Electric East Electricians can handle services including metering, mains and other Level 2 electrical work.

Planning a rewire?
Property owners across Lismore and the Northern Rivers use Electric East Electricians for rewires, switchboard work, and safety compliance.
A rewire is staged to keep the house liveable for as much of the project as possible and to ensure that the parts requiring certification are tested before they are covered.
Where an older switchboard also requires attention, a switchboard upgrade may be recommended as part of the electrical work. Smoke alarms can also be discussed when planning broader electrical work or renovations.
Want the scope in writing?
The cost of rewiring depends on the scope of the work and the requirements of the property. Factors can include the size and layout of the house, access to existing wiring, the amount of wiring being replaced, the number of circuits and fittings, the condition of the switchboard, and whether supply-side or metering work is also required.
A full rewire may not be necessary in every situation. The appropriate scope depends on the condition of the existing installation and which parts of the electrical system require attention. Electric East Electricians provides free written quotes so the required work and pricing can be discussed before the job begins.
Electrical problems are not always visible, which is why an assessment by a licensed electrician is the safest way to determine whether wiring needs attention.

I recently had a few electrical jobs done around the house, including installing ceiling fans and new lights, repairing my solar system, and a few others. Everything was completed without any issues, and I'm really happy with how it all turned out. Communication was easy, the work was done neatly, and it was clear he takes pride in what he does. It's nice to have someone who turns up when they say they will and gets the job done properly.
