House Wiring in Accra
House wiring and rewiring in Accra by Energy Commission licensed electricians. New builds, extensions and old installations.
Wiring is the part of a house nobody sees and everybody depends on. It is also the part where cutting cost quietly buys a problem that appears years later, usually inside a wall.
When a house needs wiring or rewiring
- A new build, from first fix to final testing
- An extension or a converted room
- An older house whose cable has aged
- Breakers that trip constantly under normal use
- Warm sockets, discoloured fittings, or a burning smell
- Adding load the original wiring was never designed for
What proper wiring involves
Cable sized for the load it will actually carry. Circuits separated so one fault does not darken the whole house. Correctly rated breakers. Earthing that works, because earthing is what turns a dangerous fault into a tripped breaker. And testing at the end, with a certificate.
None of that is visible once the walls are closed, which is exactly why the person doing it must be licensed.
Why the Energy Commission licence matters here
Every electrician on ESCA Tech holds an Energy Commission licence, and we check it before they can accept a single job. Unlicensed wiring is behind a large share of electrical fires in Ghana, and the damage usually shows up years after the person who did the work has gone. Whoever opens your distribution board should be someone whose qualification was verified by somebody other than himself.
Materials
Cable, conduit, boards, breakers, sockets and fittings can be ordered on this site from verified shops across Ghana, delivered in Accra and Tema or collected. Your electrician can give you the list.

Questions people ask
How long does rewiring take?
It depends on the size of the house and whether anyone is living in it during the work. The electrician can tell you after seeing the property — anyone quoting a duration before that is guessing.
Can I live in the house while it is rewired?
Often yes, room by room, though there will be days with disruption. Agree the plan before work starts.
Will I get a certificate?
Certification is part of what licensed wiring professionals do. Raise it when you agree the job so it is not forgotten at the end.
Can I buy the cable myself?
Yes. Everything on this site is open to anyone.
