Quick answer: IllaVolt Electrical rewires homes across the Illawarra and South Coast, from partial rewires to full-house rewiring of older properties. We work tidily, stage the job to minimise disruption, and leave your home safe and compliant. Call 0480 005 282 for a free quote.
If your home still has old cloth or rubber-insulated wiring, frequent faults, or a switchboard that can’t cope, rewiring brings it up to modern safety standards. IllaVolt handles partial and full rewires across the Illawarra’s older homes. We’re fully licensed and insured, licence No. 98471C.
Signs your home may need rewiring
- Cloth, rubber or lead-sheathed wiring, common in pre-1970s homes
- Frequent tripping, flickering lights or burning smells
- Not enough power points and heavy reliance on power boards
- An old fuse-based switchboard with no safety switches
- Discoloured or warm switches and outlets
Partial or full rewire?
Not every home needs a full rewire. We assess what’s actually required, sometimes specific circuits, sometimes the whole house, and give you honest options rather than overselling.
How much does rewiring cost, and how long does it take?
Cost depends on the size of the home and access. We stage larger jobs to keep power on where we can, and always give a clear, fixed quote first.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my home needs rewiring?
Signs include old cloth or rubber wiring, frequent tripping, flickering, burning smells, too few power points, or an old fuse board with no safety switches. We can inspect and advise.
Do I need to move out during a rewire?
Not always. We stage the work to keep power on where possible and minimise disruption, and we will tell you what to expect before we start.
How long does a rewire take?
A partial rewire can be a day or two; a full-house rewire of a larger home takes longer. We give you a clear timeframe with your quote.
Will you upgrade the switchboard too?
Usually yes. A rewire is the ideal time to upgrade to a modern switchboard with circuit breakers and safety switches.
