Wiring that
looks fine
can still
kill you.
Up until the late 1960s, many Dunedin properties were wired in rubber-impregnated cloth and insulated cables run inside conduit, wood casing, or rubber sheathing.
This insulation deteriorates over time — it becomes brittle and exposes live conductors. The electrical system can still operate perfectly, giving you no indication of the danger. Your chances of a house fire or electrical fault increase greatly.
Industry experts recommend homes with pre-1970s wiring receive periodic inspections. Serviceman's qualified inspectors carry out inspections in any property — including the older historical homes and villas that other electricians often avoid.
In conducting regular electrical inspections, you not only get peace of mind knowing your property is safe and up to code — it can also add thousands of dollars to its total value.
