Understanding the Need for Rewiring


Before you embark on your project, understanding why it's essential is critical. Over time, wiring systems face wear and tear, or they may no longer be competent for modern appliances and usage. Indications that it may be time to upgrade your wiring include frequent blown fuses or tripped breakers, flickering or dimmed lights, outdated two-pronged outlets, and a burning smell or sparking from outlets. If you see any of these signs, it may be time to consider rewiring your property.


Assess your Electrical Consumption


After you've made the decision to proceed with the rewiring of your house or office, the initial step is to evaluate your electricity usage. Make a note of all heavy-duty appliances and devices and calculate their power requirements. This will enable you to determine the appropriate kind of wiring system and main panel size that can effectively handle your electrical demand.


Seek Professional Help


Replacing electrical wiring is one project you shouldn't attempt to do it yourself. It requires professional knowledge and experience as it involves a series of intricate steps that, if mishandled, could lead to severe consequences. Therefore, it's always advisable to hire licensed professionals like us at Ferguson Electrical Solutions. Our team is trained to handle a variety of residential and commercial wiring tasks such as  with safety and precision.


Ensure Adequate Safety Measures


Even though your hired contractors will handle the task, as a property owner, it is imperative for you to be aware of all the safety measures. This includes ensuring the use of proper tools, the availability of first-aid kits, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) among others.


Consider Future Proofing


While upgrading your wiring, also take into account your future needs. You might want to add extra outlets for potential new appliances or upgrade your service panel to accommodate additional circuits or install smart home automation. Future-proofing helps to ensure you won't need another upgrade anytime soon.


Quality of Materials


The quality of materials used in your rewiring project plays a significant role in safety and performance. At Ferguson Electrical Solutions, we use high-quality, reliable, and durable materials that meet the industry standards.

Last but not least, after the rewiring project is completed, it's advisable to sign up for regular inspection and maintenance services. This will help detect any potential issues at an early stage and ensure the lifespan and reliability of your electrical system.
