Renew and Rewire a Home or Office
Rewire a home or office to bring your building up to date with the latest electrical safety standards. Rewiring can also cut your energy bill, improve ergonomic flow, and increase the value of your property.
It might be necessary to rewire a home or office if your building had wiring installed before late 1970. This is because the old wiring may not handle the demand that twenty-first-century electrical usage puts upon it. Ben’s Electrical can help you rewire your home or office safely and efficiently, so you can renew and rest easy knowing that your family and staff are safe and sound.
- Create a safer space
- Cut your energy bill

Optimise safety by rewiring a home or office
Old wiring degrades over time. Old wiring or rubber-coated wiring can become a safety hazard. Overloading electrical outlets is a hazard and can lead to overheating, fire or electrical shocks. Wiring in older homes is unlikely to meet current NZ Electrical standards. Electrical hazards that result from old wiring can void your home insurance. Ben can check your home wiring and create a plan to rewire your home if necessary.
Save Energy with modern wiring
Leaky wiring is a common problem in older buildings, leading to wasted energy. You can avoid this issue by rewiring your home and saving money on your energy bill. In addition, the old wiring system is simply inadequate for the size and number of appliances we use in our homes daily. So, if you’re using more electricity than your home’s wiring can safely accommodate, it’s time to rewire.
Improve ergonomics with a full house rewire
A house rewire is an opportunity to add more outlets and switches, modernise your home, and improve the flow.
You can get new wiring and plugs for all your home entertainment, home computers, telephone, and television usage, enhanced electrical safety and convenience.
Increase the value of an old house or building
Rewiring an old house can also help to sell an older home. Rewiring not only brings the home up to code, but it can also add value to the property and make it more attractive to potential buyers. In addition, rewiring can help a home inspector give a better report on the condition of the home, which could lead to a quicker sale.

“Ben came out to install new sockets and replace old electrical wires in a couple of rooms. He was quick and responsive with my call and was fairly priced. Ben is a great residential electrician and was happy to spin a yarn while completing the work in a timely manner.”
