Signs your home needs rewiring.
Warning signs include lights that flicker when appliances run, frequent blown fuses, warm outlets, or a persistent burning smell. Homes over 40 years old with cloth‑insulated wires, two‑prong outlets, or reliance on extension cords need rewiring to meet today’s safety and capacity requirements.
- Flickering/dimming lights or breakers that trip under normal use.
- Two‑prong (ungrounded) outlets, mixed receptacle styles, or missing GFCI/AFCI protection.
- Outdated wiring types (e.g., knob‑and‑tube, brittle cloth‑covered insulation, or older aluminum branch circuits).
- Warm or buzzing switches/outlets, discoloration, or frequent device failures.
- Too few circuits for a renovated kitchen, home office, workshop, or planned EV charger.
- Insurance or inspection notes flagging unsafe or non‑compliant wiring.
Out with old wires, in with safety and capacity.
Our whole‑home rewiring service replaces outdated wiring like knob‑and‑tube or aluminum with modern copper that meets current safety standards. This upgrade reduces fire risks dramatically, allows your home to handle modern appliance loads without flicker or overload, and may lower insurance premiums.
- Comprehensive Assessment & Planning
Circuit mapping, panel/service review, and load analysis. You’ll receive a clear scope showing new circuits, protection devices, and any panel/service upgrades. - Hazard Removal & Clean Replacement
Safe removal/abandonment of obsolete wiring; installation of new copper NM‑B or conduit‑based wiring per space and code. Every splice in an accessible, listed box—no hidden junctions. - Grounding, Bonding & Protection
Modern grounding electrode system and bonding updates. We apply GFCI where required (garages, outdoors, baths, kitchens, basements) and AFCI for living areas to reduce arc‑fault risk. - Panel & Service Upgrades
Replace outdated panels, add capacity, or upsize service when needed. Dedicated circuits for kitchens, laundry, HVAC, and future loads like EV charging or workshops. - Device & Outlet Modernization
Three‑prong, tamper‑resistant receptacles; properly rated switches/dimmers; labeled directories. USB/Type‑C options and strategically placed convenience outlets. - Surge Protection & Power Quality
Whole‑home surge protection at the service and optional downstream protection for sensitive electronics. - Low‑Voltage & Future‑Ready Pathways
Conduit stubs/pull strings for AV, data, and automation; structured cabling or PoE where appropriate—so expansions don’t require new wall openings. - Neat, Low‑Disruption Execution
Dust control, floor/wall protection, and targeted fishing techniques. Daily cleanup and patch‑ready minimal openings; we coordinate with your painter/GC if needed. - Permits, Inspections & Documentation
We handle AHJ submissions and inspections end‑to‑end. Closeout packet includes as‑builts, labeling schedules, device maps, and warranty info.
