Outdated Wiring Isn't Just Inconvenient—It's Dangerous
Homes built decades ago often have electrical systems that are no longer safe or adequate. Cloth wiring degrades over time, aluminum wiring corrodes and loosens, and knob-and-tube systems were never built for modern electrical loads. These systems cause fires, electrical shocks, and equipment damage.
- Old Wiring Types — Cloth-wrapped wiring, aluminum, and knob-and-tube systems fail and pose fire and shock hazards.
- Warning Signs — Frequent breaker trips, outlets that don't work, buzzing sounds, burning smells, or warm switch plates indicate wiring problems.
- Insurance & Code Issues — Many insurers won't cover homes with outdated wiring. Code violations block home sales and refinances.
- Solution: Complete Rewiring — Replace your entire system with modern wiring that's safe, code-compliant, and built for today's electrical needs.

How long does the rewiring process take?
Most whole-home rewiring projects take 1–3 weeks depending on home size and complexity. We'll give you a timeline during your inspection.
Do I need to move out while you're rewiring?
Not necessarily. We work efficiently and can often schedule around your schedule. We'll discuss the best approach during your inspection.
What types of wiring need to be replaced?
Cloth-wrapped, aluminum, and knob-and-tube wiring should all be replaced. Modern code requires new wiring to meet current safety standards. We'll identify what needs to go during inspection.
What are the warning signs that my home needs rewiring?
Frequent breaker trips, dead outlets, buzzing or crackling sounds near outlets or panels, warm switch plates, burning smells, or an old panel with limited circuits are all signs of wiring problems.
Who handles the permits?
We handle all permits and inspections. You don't need to interact with the city—we coordinate everything and ensure your system passes final inspection.
Does whole-home rewiring include a panel upgrade?
Not always. We assess your panel during inspection. If it's outdated or undersized, we'll recommend an upgrade. Many rewiring jobs require a panel upgrade to support modern electrical loads.
