Surefire Signs Your Home Is In Dire Need Of a Complete Rewire

1. Your Fuses Keep Blowing

When you notice that your abode has frequently blown fuses, then it means there is a serious problem with your wiring. Maybe it’s worn out or can’t handle the amount of electricity you need in your home.

2. You Wiring Comprises Of Black Rubber Coated Cables

Cables that are coated in black rubber were phased out a couple of decades ago due to their safety concerns. Today we use white or grey PVC coated cables as they are a lot safer.

3. Your Lights Are Always Dim or Flickering

Does your lighting consistently look dim or flicker? If so, then you need to reach out to Loxlly’s Electrical Installation Ltd as soon as possible because this might be a sign of a faulty wiring.

4. Loose Outlets

Do your plugs wiggle and fall out of electrical outlets? If so, you need to get new outlets. We can do this task for you very much affordably.

5. Your Sockets Are Mounted In Skirting Boards

Electrical sockets built into skirting boards are no longer acceptable. Sockets now have to be at least 450mm above the ground in order to meet the standards.

6. Bathroom Switches Are Installed Inside the Bathroom

The same goes for switches which are wall mounted inside the bathroom. This can be very dangerous because water and electricity are not the best of friends. Nowadays bathrooms have switches on the outside.
