Does my house need rewiring? 7 signs that it could be time to call in an electrician
Briefly

Homeowners must assess the need for rewiring due to safety risks associated with old electrical systems. Faulty wiring can lead to serious health hazards such as electrocution or appliances short-circuiting. Signs indicating necessary rewiring include the age of the property, particularly if it is 25-40 years old. Homeowners should also inspect the consumer unit for age-related issues, as older units can signify outdated wiring and require replacement. Investing in rewiring is essential for maintaining safety over time.
A home with old or faulty wiring can be a serious health and fire risk. It can lead to electrocution, short-circuiting of appliances and cause sockets to buzz and eventually burn.
As a general rule for older homes, a check-up is needed. If the property is 25 - 40 years old, the home's electrical installation should be checked as upgrades or improvements could be made to improve overall safety.
