So I’ve moved in to a circa 100 year old house.
it has black and red PVC cable and it had a rewireable fuse board, that I got changed yesterday to a modern unit with RCBOs.
Now on to my question.
I had it inspected and tested and was told it doesn’t need to be rewired as it’s passed on the safety checkx with a few minor recommendations.
But I read that PVC cable should be changed every 30 or so years?
So I’m worried that I will decorate the house and in 10 or so years will then need to rewire.
What’s do you guys think?
I’d really rather not rewire for obvious reasons (probably have to move out and disrupt most floors and walls) but am I better off doing it now if I plan to stay in the house long term?
Confused.
