Recently, I have been noticing a lot of burning kind of smell in my house. After some inspection, I found that it had been coming from a switchboard. To get it fixed, I called an electrician and described the issue to him. He started his inspection and told me that my house needs rewiring. Following that, he also helped me with my question: How to know if house needs rewiring. I have shared the same here for your reference. 

How to Know if Your House Needs Rewiring?

He said that the burning smell is one way of knowing that rewiring is needed but there are a few other ways as well. Some of those are

  1. Discoloured Switches or Plugs: Discolouration of new switches generally happens due to loose connection or faulty wiring. This can lead to small fires and should be fixed immediately. 

  2. Flickering Lights: If the lights flicker or become dimmer without any reason, then there is a chance that there is faulty wiring or another underlying issue. This should be checked on priority. 

  3. Electrical Shocks: If you get a shock while plugging an appliance into a socket or turning on a switch, it means there is an issue with the wiring. 

These are some of the points that he had mentioned. Following this, I had to get the wiring of my whole house changed as the wires had become old and faulty. Hope this helps.
