  • Your wiring

  • It’s important to have your wiring checked to make sure it’s safe. We’ve put together some advice so you can make sure the wiring in your home is safe.

  • Do you need to get your wiring checked?

    If the wiring in your home is more than 20 years old, we recommend you arrange for it to be checked.

    It is also wise to have it checked at five-year intervals, to make sure your wiring can cope with extra appliances or lights and to check the earthing system.

    Always use a qualified electrician.

    What we can do for you

    In some parts of the country we offer free visual wiring inspections for properties over 20 years old and wiring maintenance protection*. And for extra peace of mind, we've been independently assessed by NICEIC and ELECSA to be in full compliance with all the latest regulations.
