Electrical Wiring & Rewiring in Jeddah
Wiring is the part nobody sees once the work is finished, which is precisely why its quality shows up years later rather than days later.
New builds: planning before pulling cable
Before any cable is pulled we calculate expected loads for each area — air conditioning, kitchen, water heaters, and the lighting and socket points. That determines the number of circuits, the cross-section of each cable and the size of the board. Mistakes here are expensive because correcting them later means opening walls, whereas correcting them on paper costs nothing.
Existing buildings: when rewiring is the right answer
Older properties were designed for far lower loads than we use today. When faults recur in different places, when insulation has gone brittle or discoloured, or when cable cross-section is undersized for actual load, a partial repair treats the symptom and leaves the cause. We survey first and tell you plainly which option is cheaper over time — even when the cheaper option is the smaller one.
Signs your installation needs review
Breakers tripping repeatedly across different circuits
Lights dimming when a large appliance starts
Cable insulation that is brittle, cracked or discoloured
Permanent reliance on extension leads and adaptors
A full board with no room for another circuit
No earth-leakage breaker present in the board
Frequently Asked Questions
Not necessarily. If the existing conduit is sound and wide enough, new cable can often be drawn through it without breaking anything. We establish that at survey and set out the expected extent of work before starting, not after.
In most cases yes. We work in stages so parts of the property stay live while others are worked on, and we agree the order of those stages with you in advance around how you use the space.
The number of circuits, the floor area, the length of the runs, material quality, and whether existing conduit can be reused. A survey is necessary for an accurate figure — any estimate given without one is guesswork.
We always recommend it during a rewire. The earth-leakage breaker is what protects against electric shock, and it's missing from many older boards. Adding it while the work is open is far cheaper than as a separate job later.
