House Rewiring, Wellington & Lower Hutt
Ginger Electrics rewires houses across Wellington and Lower Hutt. Shane Gallagher is an NZ-registered electrician with 15+ years in the trade. He checks the existing wiring first, so the rewire matches what your house needs. That can be the whole house, or just the areas a renovation opens up.
Checking your existing wiring
You don't need to be renovating to get the wiring checked. A wiring inspection finds issues early, before they escalate, and Shane tells you what's sound and what needs work.
Rewiring during a renovation
Where the existing wiring doesn't meet current codes and standards, the rewiring is done before the walls are lined. If the switchboard needs upgrading to suit, that happens in the same job.

House rewiring FAQs
Can you check existing wiring during a renovation?
Yes. The existing lighting and wiring are reviewed against the relevant codes and standards as part of the renovation.
How much does it cost to rewire a house in NZ?
No two houses are the same. The cost depends on the size of the house and the wiring already in it, so Shane checks it before he quotes.
Can you rewire part of a house?
Yes, where it makes sense. On a renovation, Shane identifies the areas that need rewiring rather than assuming the whole house does.
Can we stay in the house during a rewire?
It depends on the house and the scope of the rewire. Talk it through with Shane when he quotes, so you can plan for any time without power.
How long does a rewire take?
It depends on the size of the house and how much needs replacing. Shane can give you a timeframe with the quote.
