Before you approach an electrical contractor for a quote, it helps to make a map of your property’s wiring.
Here are some useful questions to ask yourself regarding new wiring for your Leeds or Wakefield-based property:
Having some ideas on this before you reach out to our domestic and commercial electricians allows us to give you a more accurate quote and speed up the planning process. It also makes it less likely that changes will be needed mid-installation, which can majorly affect your rewiring job.
After completing the map of your new wiring, it’s worth checking through it again a few days later. A fresh look offers a fresh perspective and could help you identify any issues or aspects of the map you may have forgotten the first time.
While some rewiring work our commercial and domestic electricians work on may be urgent, that’s not always the case. Use a full rewiring job to plan and predict your future electrical usage and how it may change going forward. 1st Call Mechanical Electrical strives to give our clients long-lasting results, which should be in your best interests, too. Modern technology and appliances place increased power demands on your electrical system, so it’s ideal to have wiring that can cope with this in the long run.
When you hire an electrician to rewire your property, they need clear access to your walls, ceilings and floors. If any furniture is blocking electrical access points, it will need to be moved, either to another part of the building or put into storage. Any valuable items should be removed from the affected areas of your Leeds or Wakefield-based property to avoid damage. We also encourage you to separate pets from these parts of the property or temporarily relocate them off-site until the job is completed.
