Domestic Electricity and Up-Grading to 3-Phase

The age of the property you are intending on buying will be an indicator of the state of the electrical installation in the property, as many older properties will not be compliant with current domestic property regulations.

When purchasing an older property, the potential buyer will often want to modernise the interior of the property and update such things as the kitchen which will include modern appliances, such as a fridge freezer, dishwasher and washing machine, as well as having air conditioning units installed in the bedrooms and living rooms, these items will put an enormous strain on an electrical system that was not intended for such a high level of consumption. Increasing the load on the existing electrical circuits if they are old may result in the circuit breakers tripping as the wiring overheats or in extreme cases fires.
