Recent Electrical Rewiring reviews in Sydney

Matteo was great, came to rewire a pendant light. Discovered that part of the fixture the light bulb clipped into was broken. Matteo went to Bunnings and got the new piece and came back and did not request for the price of job to change. I appreciate his professionalism and willingness to go beyond what was the original task.

What do electrical rewiring services include?

Electricians can replace cables, fittings, and distribution boards that are old or dangerous. Additionally, electrical rewiring may involve adding circuits to power a pool area or run a new appliance. An electrician or sparky can come in to check your existing connection and assess the work they need to do.  

Afterwards, the specialist can perform the rewire and conduct safety tests on all the wiring. A Tasker may conduct safety tests on circuits, fuse boards, and sockets. These tests ensure electricals are running properly and are compliant with building regulations. Below is a list of different ways an electrician can help you. 

Electrical rewiring for electrical issues 

An electrician may need to rewire your home if you always experience overheating sockets, flickering lights, or a blown fuse. In any case, an electrician can do full or partial rewiring on your property. For example, your technician can rewire your lights to address flickering or dimming fixtures. 

A major renovation, on the other hand, may need a fuse board upgrade. Taskers are here to help with minor to major electrical issues you may have. For other home repair tasks, we also help you find plumbers who can address leaking pipes, low water pressure, or other plumbing problems in your home. 

Electrical rewiring for home updates

If you live in an old home that has not been rewired in 25-30 years, it’s a good idea to have an electrician check your electrical system. Chances are, you’ll need to schedule a partial or full rewiring on your house. Old rewiring from the 1980s or 90s is not designed to handle the huge volume of modern household appliances.  

An electrician can ensure your wiring complies with present-day safety standards. When the work is done, you can have another Tasker take away the construction debris and vacuum up dust from the work areas. 

Electrical rewiring for home upgrades

Electricians can do rewiring for small upgrades or major renovations. Small upgrades include installing additional sockets in a room, so you don’t have to use too many extensions around the house. This upgrade can prevent sockets from overheating and reduce fire risks. 

If you’re converting a garage into a recreational space, you may also need electrical wiring. This upgrade enables your electrical system to carry extra loads. Other electrical services include lighting upgrades, light switch replacement, and fan installation. These offerings may vary from Tasker to Tasker. With electrical wiring updates, you may achieve a more attractive living space with a higher property value.

Rewire a US lamp

$150

Newtown, New South Wales

27th May 2026

I bought this lamp in America and it's been used almost every day for six years. I've changed the bulbs once, after one got damaged in a move. I discovered this may have been quite dangerous, and supposedly the key danger point would be the electronics in the dimmer. It’s a modern lamp (from ~2019), inline dimmer in the cord, the wiring runs ~150cm through the pole of the lamp, the top unscrews, and there's two 90-degree sockets (photos attached). From what I understand, the main thing is the inline foot dimmer has to go completely. It's a 120V part and it's been sitting on 240V, so I just want it out of the circuit entirely. I'm fine for the lamp to just be on/off - no dimming. Though if the cost of a new dimmer would be immaterial, then happy to have another one. I leave the dimmer with maximum light because it’s always been a bit dim (perhaps because of the voltage), but it could just be the bulbs I’ve used. The light quality is actually perfect at present. I reckon the plan would be something like this: cut off the whole existing cord and dimmer, open up the top where the two sockets are, and test the internal wire that runs up the pole to see if the insulation is still sound. If it is just hook up a new black Australian cord and plug at the base (please note the photo of where it exits the pole). If the insulation’s stuffed it may need a new wire. I don't think it needs new sockets, the bulbs currently in use are 220 volt and working fine. Please quote for job and parts. Dimmer and complete wiring can be optional extras, or perhaps please provide a quote with different scenarios if possible. 1. New cord only 2. New cord and dimmer 3. New cord and wiring 4. New cord, wiring, and dimmer Please share a portfolio of similar cord switch outs you've done in the past. Thank you!
