Open wall studs with new electrical wiring and boxes during a home rewire

Rewiring older homes

Home Rewiring

Wiring doesn't last forever. Older homes can have brittle insulation, ungrounded circuits, aluminum branch wiring or years of patched-together additions. Rewiring brings the system up to date so it can safely carry today's loads.

What this service covers

  • Whole-home rewiring
  • Partial rewiring of rooms or wings
  • Replacing ungrounded two-prong circuits
  • Addressing aluminum branch wiring
  • Adding circuits during remodels

Common reasons homeowners call

  • Buying or renovating an older home
  • Insurance or an inspection flagged the wiring
  • Frequent flickering, tripping or warm outlets throughout the house
  • Two-prong outlets with no ground

How the work goes

  • We evaluate the existing wiring and talk through your plans.
  • You get a phased plan and price.
  • Wiring is replaced with attention to minimizing wall openings.
  • Everything is tested, and permitting and inspection handled as required.

Homeowner questions

Do you have to open every wall?

Not usually. Access is planned through attics, closets and small openings where possible. We'll tell you what to expect up front.

Can I stay in the house during a rewire?

Often yes, especially for phased work, though some days will have power interruptions in parts of the home.

How long does rewiring take?

It depends on the size of the home and how much is being replaced. You'll get a timeline with your quote.
