Electrical wiring runs through every room of your home — powering lights, appliances and everyday essentials. But have you ever thought about the safety of your home’s wiring?
Flickering lights, tripping circuits or a lack of safety switches can all be signs of ageing or faulty wiring. While most of us have upgraded our appliances over the years, the old and unsafe wiring hidden in many Melbourne homes often goes unnoticed.
At Kenner Electrics, we’re your local house rewiring experts, trusted by homeowners across Melbourne’s eastern suburbs. Whether your wiring is outdated or showing signs of wear, our licensed electricians can safely rewire your home using modern TPS cabling that reduces fire and electric shock risks.
Do you know what type of cabling is in your home?
Homes built before the 1980s may still have lead-sheathed, cotton or rubber cabling that have broken down over time. These materials are now deteriorated, non-compliant and pose a serious safety hazard. For this reason, Energy Safe Victoria recommends electrical inspections to check for old, unsafe wiring in older homes. Rewiring replaces these with durable, compliant TPS cabling — and allows us to install earth wiring to light fittings at the same time for added protection.
DIY electrical work or unlicensed alterations can also create risks, including exposed live wires or undersized cabling. A professional inspection by a licensed electrician is the only way to know your home’s electrical system is safe.
As a general guide, a smaller partial rewire may cost between $5,000 and $10,000, while larger or more complex rewires typically range between $10,000 and $25,000. Homes that are double-storey, solid brick, or heritage-listed can be more challenging to access, which may increase the cost.
When you book a rewire inspection with Kenner Electrics, our electrician will visit your home to assess the current wiring and discuss your options. During this visit, we’ll provide a provisional estimate so you can decide whether to proceed with the job. Once the works begin, we’ll provide a more accurate quote after the first day or two, once we’ve uncovered the full extent of the existing wiring. This ensures that you receive transparent pricing based on the actual condition of your electrical system — as it’s often difficult to determine the full scope before work commences.

Is dangerous cabling putting your home at risk? Many Melbourne homes still contain outdated or unsafe wiring that can lead to electric shock or fire. Here are some of the most common cabling issues that mean your home may need rewiring:
If unsafe wiring causes a serious electrical fault, Electrical Distributors (like United Energy) can issue a defect notice requiring urgent repairs — often meaning a full or partial rewire. In some cases, they can even disconnect your power immediately.
Rather than waiting for a fault or emergency, it’s safer (and less stressful) to rewire your home on your own terms with help from the trusted team at Kenner Electrics.
