Looking at purchasing your new home? π Hawke's Bay has a rich history of beautiful older villas, bungalows, and Art Deco homes but did you know that certain types of cabling found in these older homes could affect your home insurance?
Vulcan Indianised Rubber (VIR) or Tough Rubber Sheath (TRS) were some of the first electrical cables installed. Unfortunately, they are now well past their useful lifespan and can become a fire risk.
Before signing on the dotted line, consider getting an electrician to check your wiring and provide a quote for rewiring if necessary - this can be a great negotiating tool!π
