Does your Nelson home need rewiring? Older homes with outdated or unsafe wiring are a fire and safety risk. Our listed house rewiring electricians in Nelson are EWRB-registered and experienced with full and partial rewires for homes of all ages across the Nelson region.
House Rewiring Costs in {city}
A full house rewire in New Zealand costs $8,000 to $20,000 for a standard three-bedroom home, depending on the size, accessibility, and complexity of the job. A small two-bedroom home costs $6,000 to $12,000. A large four-bedroom home costs $15,000 to $25,000. These prices include new cabling, switchboard upgrade, new outlets and switches, and a Certificate of Compliance. Partial rewires cost $3,000 to $8,000 depending on the extent of work.
Signs Your Home Needs Rewiring
Warning signs that your Nelson home may need rewiring include the house being built before 1970 (likely to have rubber or lead-sheathed wiring), aluminium wiring (used in NZ in the 1970s, now considered a fire risk), frequent circuit breaker trips or blown fuses, flickering or dimming lights, a burning smell or discoloured outlets, only two-pin outlets (no earth), and a ceramic fuse board rather than modern MCBs and RCDs. If your home has any of these issues, get an electrical inspection.
What a House Rewire Involves
A full rewire replaces all the wiring from the switchboard to every outlet, switch, and light fitting in the house. The work typically takes three to seven days for a standard three-bedroom home. Your electrician will run new TPS (thermoplastic-sheathed) cabling through the walls and ceiling, install a new switchboard with modern MCBs and RCDs, replace old two-pin outlets with three-pin earthed outlets, install enough outlets for modern needs, and ensure everything meets current NZ wiring standards (AS/NZS 3000).
Regulations and Safety
All electrical rewiring in New Zealand must be done by a registered electrician holding a current practising licence from the Electrical Workers Registration Board (EWRB). Electrical wiring is prescribed electrical work and cannot be done by homeowners. After completing a rewire, the electrician must issue a Certificate of Compliance and arrange an inspection by an electrical inspector. The rewire must comply with the current edition of AS/NZS 3000 (Wiring Rules).
