About Whole-House Rewiring
Whole-house rewiring replaces the wiring throughout your home, outlets, switches, fixtures, and the cabling that connects them. It's most common in older homes with knob-and-tube, aluminum, or cloth-insulated wiring, which degrade over time and pose a real fire risk.
Rewiring brings your home up to current electrical code, eliminates hazards, and gives you the capacity and grounded circuits modern life demands. We work room by room to limit disruption, and we patch and coordinate so your home is left clean and safe.
Signs your home may need rewiring
- Knob-and-tube, aluminum, or cloth-insulated wiring
- Two-prong (ungrounded) outlets throughout
- Frequent breaker trips, flickering, or warm outlets
- Burning smell, discoloration, or buzzing at outlets
- A home built before 1970 that's never been rewired
What's involved
- Full assessment and circuit plan
- Running new code-compliant wiring and grounded outlets
- New or upgraded panel if needed
- Permits, inspection, and clean finish
How rewiring actually goes (calmer than you fear)
Homeowners picture demolished walls; the reality of experienced rewiring is strategic and surprisingly tidy. We work from attics, basements, and crawl spaces, fish cable through existing wall cavities, and make small, patchable openings only where framing blocks the route. Rooms are done in sequence so the house stays livable, and power stays on in areas we're not actively working.
The typical whole-home rewire runs days to a couple of weeks depending on size and access. What you gain besides safety: grounded outlets everywhere, capacity for modern life, AFCI protection, insurance normalization, and a wiring map for whoever works on the house next.
