Rewiring Adelaide
Our Services
Rewiring - Full and Partial
No one wakes up excited to rewire their house. But when lights dim every time the fridge kicks in, power points feel warm to the touch, or the switchboard still uses ceramic fuses, it’s time to call a professional.
Arena Electrical Group provides expert residential & commercial rewiring across Adelaide and all the metro areas (CBD & inner cities, Eastern Suburbs, Southern Suburbs, Western Suburbs, Northern Suburbs, Port & Coastal, and Hills Edge/Metro Fringe).
We’re a locally owned, fully licensed team. No franchises. Just experienced electricians who get the job done safely, neatly, and without unnecessary damage to your home/commercial property.
Does Your House Need a Full Home Rewire?
Not every older home needs a complete strip‑out. But if your property was built before the 1970s and still has original wiring, particularly vulcanised rubber or fabric‑covered cables, then yes, a home rewire is strongly recommended.
Watch for these warning signs:
- Frequent fuse blowing or circuit breaker tripping
- Lights that flicker when heavy appliances turn on
- Two‑prong power points (no earth connection)
- A persistent burning smell near any switch or outlet
- Buzzing sounds from walls or the switchboard
If you notice any of the above warnings, please don’t ignore them. A proper home rewiring isn’t just about convenience; it’s about preventing electrical fires.
Rewiring a House with Plaster Walls – What to Expect
This is the concern we hear most often. “Will you smash my walls?”
The short answer: no. A skilled home wiring electrician can rewire a house with plaster walls using fishing rods, existing conduits, and careful planning. Occasionally, small access holes are needed, roughly the size of a power point plate. Those are patched neatly or covered with a blank plate. For double-brick homes, a different method is used, but the result is the same: minimal disruption and no demolition zone.
Commercial Rewiring Across Adelaide - What's Included
Arena Electrical Group rewires commercial premises across the Adelaide metro area — offices, retail shopfronts, warehouses, hospitality venues and builder sites.
What’s included:
- Full and partial rewires for commercial premises.
- Single-phase and three-phase installations.
- Switchboard assessment and upgrade where the existing board cannot carry the new load.
- Circuit design matched to how the space is actually used.
- Cable upgrades for HVAC, commercial kitchen and machinery loads.
- All work completed to AS/NZS 3000 and certified on completion.
- Documentation provided for building owners, managers and incoming tenants.
Every commercial rewire is quoted after an on-site assessment. Scope on a commercial job depends on the building, the existing installation and how the space is used, so we look at it properly rather than quoting from a floor plan.
Other Rewiring Services – Not Always the Whole House
Sometimes only one circuit or outlet needs attention. Arena Electrical Group also handles the following:
- Rewiring electrical outlet that is loose, cracked, or sparking
- Adding new power points where you need them (kitchen benches, home offices, outdoor areas)
- Replacing old light fittings that are unsafe or unreliable
You will have the same qualified wiring electrician from start to finish – no rotating crew of unfamiliar faces.

Frequently Asked Questions
If only one power point or light circuit is faulty, a repair may suffice. But if you have multiple issues, old rubber wiring, or ungrounded outlets, a full home rewire is the safer option. Arena Electrical Group offers a free on‑site assessment to give you an honest recommendation.
No. We have completed hundreds of rewires in plaster‑wall homes. Most wiring is fished through without touching the plaster. Where small access holes are necessary: about the size of an outlet plate. Those holes are either patched or covered with a blank plate. You will not be left with a damaged home.
For a typical three‑bedroom home, expect $8,000 to $15,000 depending on size, access, and the number of outlets. That may sound significant, but compare it to the cost of fire damage or a full rebuild. Arena Electrical Group provides fixed, upfront quotes. Call with your address for a ballpark figure over the phone.
Yes. All commercial rewiring is completed to AS/NZS 3000 and certified on completion. Documentation is provided for building owners, managers and incoming tenants, which matters where a lease, make-good obligation or insurance requirement applies.
In most cases, yes. Commercial rewires are staged so the premises keep operating. Arena Electrical Group operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so the disruptive work can be scheduled outside your trading hours, where the job allows. The staging plan is set out as part of your quote.
Arena Electrical Group covers all Adelaide metro areas for rewiring, including the CBD and inner city, Eastern, Western, Northern, and Southern suburbs, Port and Coastal areas, and Hills Edge and Metro Fringe suburbs. Call 0434 126 416 for a free fixed-price quote.
