Electric Re-wiring!

["Mark Golledge" <markgolledge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Afternoon everyone,

About to replace our boiler and have been told that to ensure it meets
all the requirements, we first need to have our electrics checked.

Anyway, this afternoon we had a local firm come out to give us a quote
hoping it'd be just Fuse box replacement.

Turns out he tells us we need a whole re-wiring job done as there is
no earth lead in the light switches. Clearly if we go ahead this is
going to put the boiler replacement on hold.

If I'm going to spend something in the region of =A32.5k on a re-wiring
job, I think it might be a good opportunity to think about what
potential there is to link this into digital home requirements.

Any ideas? Only a 3 bed mid-terraced (and our first house so nothing
large and haven't got the money for any huge job) but I've just
started out with X10 but want to expand.

Suggestions much appreciated!
