Do you need a rewire?
Is your home in need of a rewire? We're seeing a lot of homes throughout the inner west still with the original wiring from over one hundred years ago. Sure it works, but is extremely dangerous.
Old cotton and rubber cables are extremely brittle. When altered, moved or pressure is applied they are prone to snapping, short circuit or desecrating.
Over time this cabling starts to break down and has a life expectancy unlike new double insulated TPS cabling.
If you spot metal conduits in your attic space, at your switchboard or on your walls and you know you've not had a rewire it may be due!
Check out some rewire work we've carried out, making these inner west homes a safer place.
When do i need a rewire?
As a rule of thumb id your home is over sixty years old it may be due an inspection to see if you need a rewire.
Tell-tell signs:
- Metal conduits in your roof space for your lights
- Metal conduits going to your switchboard
- Round brown/black switches or power points
- Porcelain fuses at your switchboard
- No safety switches at the switchboard
Why is a rewire important?
Safety! Old cabling can cause electrical shock or worse fatality. When doing a rewire we make sure all your cabling is replaced and brought up to the current wiring rules that were updated in 2018. That means ALL the cables replaced and all electrical sub circuits will be placed on an individual safety switch.
The Benefits of rewiring your home!
- Increase safety for your family in your home
- Increase market value to your home, most likely your biggest asset.
- Piece of mind knowing you're safe fresh cabling to run all your homes electrics

Great service and communication from Westcork. Alan was highly professional and the installation went smoothly. The preparation process they use was helpful, with Alan sending a video discussing the installation plan and what was needed prior to installation. Everything went smoothly and without issue.

I found Westcork Electrical from Google reviews and my experience was just as positive as others - he was super responsive, friendly and helpful, and I found his comprehensive quote process really easy and transparent. He did a combo of small and more intricate work with our place and he took the time and care to explain every aspect of the job in detail, as well as check on a few other little things around the place while he was there. Thanks for a job well done, Alan!

I had Alan from Westcork install my Tesla wall charger today. He did a great job and the charger is installed in a very convenient spot within my garage. It required a bit of work connecting from my switch board to garage which were on opposite ends of my house.Alan is a perfectionist and appeared highly disciplined and thoughtful about the work that he does. The whole procedure looked very systematic and thoroughly done.I recommend Westcork for high quality perfection

We had an absolutely lovely experience with Alan when he came to install our fans in Dulwich Hill. He was incredibly kind, professional, arrived on time, and gave me a full demo of the fans (I had no idea fans had a "winter mode" that draws warm air down, and I'm very glad he showed me or else I'd be forgiven for thinking the fans didn't circulate air properly!).I'll go as far as saying it was the best experience I've ever had with a tradie, and I couldn't be more grateful for our fans going into summer. We will absolutely be engaging Westcork Electrical for our our electrical needs in the future. Highly recommended. Thank you Westcork!

I highly recommend Westcork Electricals. Their service from my first phone call was exceptional. I couldn't fault it. Triaged by a central office, and immediately forwarded to an electrician for my choice of on-site or online quote. The online quote was guided, and I provided necessary photos. The quote redirected on the same day was detailed and acceptable. The follow-up communication was exemplary, including text messages leading up to the scheduled appointment to install 2 ceiling fans in time for a hot summer. Alan, was on time, took took the time to ensure the fans were working as perfectly as he thought they should, going over and above what I expected of any electrician. We will definitely be keeping Wesrcork, and Alan, on speed dial for any electrical work to be done in the future. Westcork's work model should be the benchmark for all similar businesses - trade or other.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Alan from WestCork Electrical for the installation of a Tesla Wall Charger and an upgrade to our electrical box at our residence. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional, and Alan, the mastermind behind WestCork Electrical, played a pivotal role in making the entire process seamless.One of the standout aspects of our experience with WestCork Electrical was Alan's professionalism and commitment to transparency. Before the project even commenced, he took the time to create a detailed video that explained the entire scope of the work to be carried out and what would be included in the fee. This video not only helped us understand the process better but also gave us confidence that we were dealing with a company that prioritizes clear communication.On the day of the installation, Alan arrived promptly as scheduled. Punctuality is often overlooked in service providers, but it speaks volumes about their commitment to customer satisfaction. The entire day proceeded with clockwork precision, and it was a hassle-free experience for me as a homeowner. Alan was not only efficient but also took care to ensure that the installation was carried out to the highest standards of safety and craftsmanship.In addition to the technical expertise, the professionalism extended to cleanliness and tidiness. Our property was left in clean and tidy, which is not always the case with contractors. This level of care and consideration for the client's space was truly appreciated.To sum it up, our experience with WestCork Electrical, led by Alan, was outstanding. The installation of our Tesla Wall Charger and the upgrade of our electrical box were great and the level of professionalism and transparency displayed by Alan exceeded our expectations. I would wholeheartedly recommend WestCork Electrical to anyone in need of electrical services. They are a shining example of what a top-notch service provider should be. Thank you, Alan for a job well done!

If you’re looking for an electric car charger install, look no further!!Found Westcork through the Tesla website. Alan responded to my enquiry same day and was super quick and thorough with explaining the process, and running me through the install step-by-step. Westcork beat out the competition by a mile in terms of both price and timeframe. Other installers were quoting a lead time of 4-6 weeks and were coming out 20ish% higher. Alan had the install done and dusted within a week of me contacting him, and we couldn’t be happier with the service and the result!!

I engaged Westcork Electrical to install 2 new power points at our place via their website through a recommendation from a Facebook group and could not recommend Alan and the team more highly.Alan got back to me promptly after i submitted the enquiry and provided a very thorough analysis of work to be done. Through this Alan was able to provide the quote for the work requested plus also a video explainer of my current power board and need for some remediation work to bring it up to safety regulations. He was very upfront about this and clear on the regulation for the remediation work, he went to the trouble of providing a video explainer of this which was very clear and concise.Once the quote and scope of works was agreed to the schedule process was also very clear and efficient. We were affected by bad weather which required a reshedule, but the office was quick in calling up to book in the next available time. The communication and confirmations were excellent via email and SMS.On the day of the job, Alan arrived bang on time with even a courtesy SMS 15 minutes before his arrival time. Alan was professional but very friendly. The job was done without fuss and the outcome was as agreed to. Alan left the place very clean and he took great care in his wiring and installation of the power points and power board components.Couldn't be happier with the professional and friendly service and high quality of workmanship and pride in their work. Will be calling on them for all future electrical work.

FAQ's
Should my old house be rewired?
Getting your old house rewired reduces the risk of a house fire and addresses potential electrical problems lurking in the wiring. There are no set guidelines for rewiring but if your house is more than two to three decades old and has the original wiring, it is likely to need updating, we recommend you call a certified electrician to properly assess the condition of old wiring in your home. If there is any traces of VIR cable or black rubber it’s an alarm bell you need a rewire.
How long does it take to rewire a whole house?
On average, an older home takes a few days to a week and might take longer depending on the complexity of the job.
How much does it cost to rewire an old house?
The cost to update electrical home wiring ranges from $2,000 to rewire a light circuit to $15,000 or more for a complete home on average. Rewiring costs depend on the home size, accessibility to the wiring, materials needed, and permits if necessary.
