Professional Domestic Electrical Services in East London
Your home deserves an electrical system that’s safe, efficient, and built to last. Whether you’re upgrading a 1960s fuse box, adding circuits for a loft conversion, or wiring a brand-new kitchen extension, PowerArc provides end-to-end domestic electrical solutions. We handle the design, installation, testing, and certification under one roof, eliminating the need for multiple contractors.
When Should You Rewire Your Home?
If your property is over 25 years old and hasn’t been rewired, or if you notice flickering lights, warm sockets, frequent tripped fuses, or a lack of RCD protection, it’s time for a professional assessment. PowerArc provides free electrical health checks to determine whether a full rewire or targeted upgrades are the best course of action.
Consumer Unit Upgrades Explained
A modern consumer unit (fuse box) with RCD protection is your home’s first line of defence against electrical fires and shocks. If your property still has an old-style fuse board with rewirable fuses, upgrading to a split-load or dual-RCD consumer unit is one of the most cost-effective safety improvements you can make.
Smart Home & Future-Proof Wiring
Planning a smart home setup? PowerArc installs dedicated circuits, structured cabling, and smart switch systems designed to integrate seamlessly with platforms like Google Home, Alexa, and Apple HomeKit. We future-proof your wiring so you can add new devices and automation without tearing into walls later.

Questions
Domestic installations FAQs
How long does a full house rewire take?
A standard 3-bedroom house typically takes 5-7 working days. We work room-by-room to minimize disruption, and you can usually remain in the property during the work.
Do I need to move out during a rewire?
In most cases, no. We ensure you have power to essential areas throughout the process. For larger properties, we'll discuss the best approach to keep disruption minimal.
Will you need to chase walls and lift floorboards?
Some chasing is usually required, but we use modern techniques to minimize damage. We make good all chased areas and leave your home tidy. Full redecoration is your responsibility unless agreed otherwise.
Do you provide certificates after the work?
Yes, every installation comes with an Electrical Installation Certificate (EIC) and, where applicable, Building Regulations compliance notification through the Competent Person Scheme.
How much does a consumer unit upgrade cost?
Costs vary depending on the number of circuits and complexity, but a standard domestic consumer unit upgrade typically ranges from £350-£600. We provide free, detailed quotes.
Can you add sockets and lights to an existing circuit?
Yes, subject to a load assessment. If the existing circuit can handle the additional load safely, we can spur off it. If not, we'll recommend a new dedicated circuit.
