Is Your Wiring Outdated? Here’s Why Rewiring Your Wigan Home Could Save You Money Long-Term

Jun 02, 2025

When was the last time you checked the condition of your home’s electrical wiring? If you're a homeowner, landlord or property manager in Wigan, now might be the perfect time to ask: Is my wiring up to date, safe, and cost-efficient? If the answer is “I'm not sure,” you could be at risk of rising energy costs, hidden faults, and even serious safety hazards.


At GHE Electrical, Fire and Security LTD, we help property owners across Wigan stay safe, compliant, and future-ready with professional house rewiring services – and yes, it could save you money in the long run.


🔌 Common Signs Your Wiring May Be Outdated

Many Wigan homes – particularly those built before the 1990s – still rely on ageing or inadequate wiring systems. Here are a few red flags to watch out for:


  • Flickering or dimming lights
  • Regularly tripping fuses or circuit breakers
  • Warm or discoloured outlets
  • Buzzing noises or burning smells
  • Lack of modern RCD (Residual Current Device) protection
  • Aluminium wiring instead of copper


If you’re noticing any of these issues, it’s likely time to call in a qualified local electrician.


💷 How Rewiring Your Wigan Property Can Save You Money


1. Reduced Energy Waste

Outdated wiring can be inefficient, leading to unnecessary power usage. A modern system reduces energy loss, helping you cut your electricity bills over time.


2. Avoid Costly Emergency Repairs

Fixing faulty sockets or replacing blown circuits might seem minor – until it becomes a recurring issue. Full rewiring helps you avoid the cost of repeat callouts or sudden breakdowns.


3. Lower Insurance Premiums

Many insurers favour updated electrical systems as they pose a lower risk. Rewiring your home can lead to lower premiums and better coverage options.


4. Increased Property Value

A home with a newly rewired electrical system is a major plus for buyers and tenants. It shows the property is modern, compliant, and move-in ready.


5. Improved Safety and Compliance

Old wiring isn’t just inefficient – it’s potentially dangerous. At GHE Electrical, we ensure all rewiring work meets current UK building regulations and BS 7671 wiring standards, giving you full peace of mind.
