What Does a Whole House Rewire?

The whole house rewiring is the process of removing all existing electrical wiring in a home and replacing it. It is done when the existing wiring is damaged due to rodent activity, age, flooding, fire, or other issues, and cannot be repaired. It may also be necessary if the existing wiring is aluminum wiring or another unsafe or outdated wiring system, or if the wiring was improperly installed. Rewiring a house will make it safer and will ensure it functions properly and efficiently. Our skilled electricians will ensure your new wiring and electrical components are compliant with modern electrical codes and standards so that your home is safe, comfortable, and energy efficient.

What to Expect When We Rewire a Whole House

While every home is different and we adjust our process to the specific requirements of each home’s electrical system, the general process for rewiring a house involves multiple steps. We’ll make sure you understand what to expect before we begin:

Initial Inspection – We will do a comprehensive electrical inspection and determine if you need rewiring services.
Planning and Design – We will go over our findings and draw up our plans for the entire rewiring process.
Site Preparation – We will ask you to get your home ready for rewiring. This may include renting a storage pod or storage unit and moving certain household items into it to protect them. It may also include covering or tarping furniture, securing valuables, removing things from closets and cupboards, taking art off the wall, and more. You should also let your neighbors know what is happening and make plans for kids and pets to be out of the home.

Removal and Disposal of Old Wiring – We will cut into the walls to remove the old wiring. We dispose of all old wiring, electrical components, and building materials according to laws and regulations.
New Wiring Installation – We will install new wiring and connect it to the main electrical panel as well as all outlets, switches, and fixtures. We may recommend upgrading the electrical panel and other components if they are also outdated or damaged.
