    Old Wiring, New Appliances

    The house wasn't built for how you live now

    A house wired in the 60s or 70s was never meant to run ducted air conditioning, an induction cooktop and a pool pump. Older places often sit on a 63 to 80 amp supply with a handful of circuits, so everything shares.

    Work out what's actually holding it back

    Sometimes it's one dedicated circuit. Sometimes the board is full. Sometimes the mains cable from the street is the limit and nothing else will fix it. Glenn checks all three before telling you which it is.

    Rewiring an Older Toowoomba Home

    Plenty of houses here still have their original wiring, and after 40 odd years the insulation gets brittle. Rubber and cloth insulated cable cracks, drops off at the terminals and stops doing its job. That's what Glenn replaces with modern TPS.

    A complete rewire replaces every circuit and cable along with the switchboard, which is the answer when the deterioration is everywhere.

    A partial rewire replaces the circuits that have gone and leaves the sound ones alone.

    Which one you need isn't something anyone can tell you over the phone. Glenn pulls a few fittings off and looks at what's behind them. Queenslanders get done with the original linings in mind, because putting those back wrong is the part people regret.

    Fair Pricing

    What It Costs

    There's no price list, because a house isn't a product. Cable distance, room in the switchboard and how tight the access is all move the number. Glenn looks and gives you a real figure first.

    Single Jobs

    One thing, one visit.

    Straightforward
    • Exhaust fan ducted out through the roof or wall
    • Oven or cooktop hardwired with an isolation switch
    • TV antenna point with the cable concealed
    • Extra power points where you actually want them

    Circuits and Capacity

    When the house can't carry what you're asking of it. Some of this involves Ergon, which Glenn sorts out.

    Depends on the board
    • Dedicated circuit for a high draw appliance
    • Pool pump circuit with RCD and weatherproof isolator
    • Mains cable upgrade when the supply is undersized
    • Meter box relocation, Ergon paperwork included
    Recommended

    Rewiring

    The big one. Priced after Glenn has been through the place.

    Depends on the property
    • Complete or partial, whichever the wiring warrants
    • Modern TPS cable and a new switchboard with RCDs
    • Enough circuits for how the house is actually used
    • Care taken with original linings on character homes

    Pricing Disclaimer: Prices are indicative. Every situation is different and pricing may vary. For more complex jobs beyond simple item installs (such as smoke alarms, ceiling fans, or power points), a further discussion or in-person review is required. For detailed pricing, please contact Glenn for a quote.

    Our Simple Process

    What Happens From Call to Certificate

    1. Glenn has a look

      He checks the board, the supply and the wiring behind a few fittings.

    2. You get a real number

      Scope, materials and labour written down, with anything uncertain flagged up front.

    3. The work gets done

      Floors and furniture covered, and he tells you when the power's going off.

    4. Everything gets tested

      Insulation, earthing and RCD operation checked before he packs up.

    5. Certificate handed over

      Electrical Safety Certificate for your records, and the board left labelled.

    The Challenge

    The original rubber insulated wiring had deteriorated and a building inspector wanted the lot replaced.

    Our Solution

    Glenn stripped out the old wiring, ran new TPS cable throughout, fitted a 24 pole switchboard with dedicated circuits for the kitchen, bathroom and laundry, and pulled in data cabling while the walls were open.

    The Outcome

    The inspector signed it off first time, and the board has room left for whatever gets added later.

    Lights that flicker, breakers that go for no obvious reason, warm switches, and cable that looks cracked where you can see it. Anything still on original rubber or cloth insulated wiring is well past its day. Glenn pulls a few fittings off and tells you what's behind them.
