If your home has old wiring, unreliable circuits, or outdated electrical systems, a whole house rewire is one of the most important upgrades you can make.
As licensed residential electricians, we specialize in rewiring homes, removing unsafe wiring, upgrading electrical panels, and ensuring your entire electrical system is modern, safe, and designed to handle today's power needs.
Call (800) 945-0268This page answers all of those questions and gives you a complete overview of what a house rewire includes, why it matters, and how we handle the entire process from start to finish.
If you want a safer home, more reliable electricity, and a future-ready wiring system — you're in the right place.
A house rewire replaces old, unsafe, or outdated electrical wiring with modern, grounded, code-compliant wiring. This includes upgrading:
A properly done whole home rewire improves safety, increases your home's value, and prevents home electrical fires caused by deteriorated wiring.
Old wiring isn't just inconvenient — it's often a fire hazard.
A whole-home rewire ensures your electrical system is safe, modern, and capable of supporting high-demand appliances, HVAC, EV chargers, computers, lighting, smart devices, and more.
Homeowners often contact us when they notice recurring electrical issues. Many of these symptoms indicate wiring that is unsafe or deteriorating.
This is the #1 sign your home's wiring cannot handle modern power demands.
Inconsistent lighting is typically caused by loose wiring connections or overloaded circuits.
Heat equals resistance — and resistance equals fire risk.
Smells from outlets, switches, or appliances require immediate attention.
Ungrounded outlets indicate extremely old wiring and serious safety concerns.
Homes built between the 1940s and 1970s often contain wiring that must be replaced.
Crackling, buzzing, or sparking from outlets or switches means wiring is failing.
This often points to overloaded circuits or insufficient service capacity.
Your electrical system likely lacks sufficient outlets and circuits.
Wiring must be updated during construction to meet code.
If you notice any of these signs, a partial or full-home rewire may be necessary for safety and reliability.
Older wiring was never built for today's electrical loads. A home from the 1950s was designed for:
| 1950s Home Electrical Needs | Today's Home Electrical Needs |
|---|---|
| A refrigerator | High-powered HVAC systems |
| A few lights | Refrigerators + freezers |
| A small number of outlets | Computers & servers |
| Basic appliances | TVs and entertainment systems |
| EV chargers | |
| Microwaves, dishwashers, washing machines | |
| Smart home devices | |
| LED and accent lighting | |
| High-load kitchen appliances |
