Our Whole-Home Rewiring Process

We begin with a comprehensive assessment of your home’s existing electrical system. This includes inspecting wiring types, outlet and switch locations, panel capacity, grounding, and overall system condition. Our goal is to identify safety concerns, code issues, and limitations that could affect performance or future upgrades.

Based on our evaluation, we create a detailed rewiring plan tailored specifically to your home and lifestyle. This plan outlines recommended circuit layouts, outlet placement, panel requirements, and any necessary upgrades to support modern appliances, lighting, and future electrical needs. Everything is explained clearly so you know exactly what to expect before work begins.

Our licensed electricians carefully remove or properly abandon outdated wiring and install new, code-compliant electrical wiring throughout your home. All work is completed using high-quality materials, best practices, and strict safety standards—while minimizing disruption to your living space whenever possible.

Once installation is complete, every circuit is thoroughly tested for safety, functionality, and reliability. We verify proper grounding, breaker operation, and load balance, then review the completed work to ensure everything meets current electrical codes and performs as intended.
