Common Questions
Electrical Rewiring FAQ
How do I know if my home needs to be rewired?
Signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, burning smells, warm outlets, two-prong ungrounded outlets, knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, or a home built before 1970 that has never been updated.
What is knob-and-tube wiring and why is it dangerous?
Knob-and-tube wiring was common in homes built before 1950. It lacks a ground wire, can't handle modern electrical loads, and the insulation often degrades over time — creating a fire hazard. Most insurers surcharge or refuse coverage for homes with active knob-and-tube wiring.
Is aluminum wiring dangerous?
Aluminum branch circuit wiring from the 1960s–70s poses a fire risk at connections. We can inspect and recommend the best solution — full rewiring or installing CO/ALR-rated devices with anti-oxidant compound at all connection points.
How long does it take to rewire a house?
A full rewire of an average home typically takes 3–7 days depending on square footage, number of circuits, and accessibility. We keep you informed throughout and minimize disruption where possible.
Do I need to move out during a rewire?
In most cases you can stay in the home. There will be periods each day without power to certain areas, but we coordinate scheduling with you to minimize inconvenience.
