Kitson Electricians Newcastle

Time to Rewire Your Property in Newcastle?

Flickering lights? Buzzing outlets? If your home still runs on outdated wiring or has an old fuse box, it’s not just inefficient, it’s unsafe. Kitson Electricians Newcastle provide full or partial rewiring that improves safety, performance, and peace of mind.

Types of Wiring We Replace

Not all wiring is safe. Here’s what we often find (and replace) in Newcastle homes:

VIR Cabling

Vulcanised Indian Rubber wiring was common until the 1950s. It breaks down over time, creating fire hazards and insulation issues.

Cloth-Insulated Wiring

Used in homes up to the early 70s, this wiring degrades easily and poses significant fire risks when exposed to heat or moisture.

Earth-Free Lighting

Older lighting circuits without an earth wire increase shock risk and make it impossible to install compliant fittings.

DIY or Unlicensed Wiring

Non-compliant wiring from past owners or unlicensed work is both dangerous and illegal. We bring it up to code the right way.

Signs You May Need Rewiring

Not sure if your home’s wiring is safe? Here are the common red flags:

  • Flickering or dimming lights
  • Warm or discoloured power points
  • Burning smells or buzzing sounds
  • Frequent tripping breakers
  • Two-prong (non-earthed) sockets
  • House built before 1970
  • Visible wear on cables or conduit

Ignoring these signs could result in fires, electrocution, or serious appliance damage. Book an inspection with our licensed team today.
