Household rewiring should only be undertaken by a qualified electrician. Having modern, up to date wiring in your home is not only safer but will increase its value and saleability. If your home requires a rewire also consider increasing the amount of electrical points. Older homes may only have one socket per room and today's technology requires more than this. Additional points are not included in a standard rewire so ensure that if you want more, the electrician is aware and has quoted you accordingly.

An old fuse box can be dangerous. If your fuse box contains circuit breaker plugs rather than switches it is a good idea to have a new one installed. Older fuse boxes may not be labelled correctly and if an area of your home loses electricity it can be difficult to isolate it and resolve the problem. A new fuse box will have labelled switches which clearly show which circuit breaker relates to which area of your home and rectifying electrical problems is much easier.
