Whole-home rewiring for older houses
Most of the housing stock we work in predates 1980, and a meaningful share of it is running on wiring that was marginal when it was new. Rewiring is invisible when finished and it is the upgrade your insurer, your inspector and your panel all care about.

What old wiring actually risks
Knob-and-tube has no ground and brittle insulation. Aluminum branch wiring from the 1960s and 70s loosens at terminations and is a documented fire cause. Cloth-insulated copper crumbles where it enters boxes. None of these improve with age, and insurers increasingly ask the question directly.
Rewiring without gutting the house
A full rewire does not require opening every wall. Attic and crawlspace access, careful fishing, and strategic openings that get patched properly, the craft is in minimizing the drywall work. We scope the access plan room by room before quoting.
Sequence it with everything else
A rewire is the natural moment to add circuits for the loads you actually intend, EV charging, a future heat pump, a kitchen that can run an induction range. Wire for the next twenty years while the access exists, because access is most of the cost.

Common questions
Whole-Home Rewiring, what to expect
- Do you give a written scope before work starts?
- Always. The proposal lists equipment or materials, what is included, what is excluded and the payment schedule. Nothing starts on a verbal.
- What happens if you find something unexpected?
- Older homes hide things, undersized panels, failed ducting, non-permitted prior work, rodent damage in the attic. When we find something, we show you what is there and price the fix as a written change order before continuing.
- Do you talk about payback periods?
- We will talk about what drives payback, your usage, your rate schedule, the condition of the house. We will not hand you a number that depends on utility rates nobody can predict. Any contractor who gives you a confident payback figure is guessing with your money.
