  • Add more sockets and smart tech to increase tenant convenience and property value

Signs Your Property May Need a Rewire

  • Frequent Power Loss Circuit breakers that trip often may indicate an overloaded or deteriorating electrical system.
  • Flickering or Dimming Lights This can signal loose connections or faulty wiring behind the scenes.
  • Outdated Fixtures A consumer unit with a wooden backing, or old-style switches and plugs, are clear red flags.
  • Buzzing or Crackling Sounds Any unusual noises from sockets or wiring should be investigated immediately.
