Whole House Rewiring

We will conduct a thorough assessment of the existing electrical system to determine the scope of the rewiring project.

Here is a list of some common items that may need to be replaced during a rewiring project:

1. Electrical Panel: If the existing electrical panel is outdated or unable to handle the electrical demands of the home, it may need to be replaced with a new panel that meets current safety standards. (read more about panel box replacement)
2. Circuit Breakers: Circuit breakers may need to be replaced to ensure that they are properly rated for the new wiring and electrical load.
3. Outlets and Switches: Outlets and switches may need to be replaced with new ones that meet current safety standards, such as tamper-resistant outlets in areas accessible to children.
4. Light Fixtures: Light fixtures may need to be replaced if they are outdated or not compatible with the new wiring.
5. Smoke Detectors: Smoke detectors may need to be replaced or installed in accordance with local building codes and safety standards.
6. Appliances: If the electrical system in the home is being upgraded, some appliances may need to be replaced or upgraded to ensure they are compatible with the new electrical load.
7. Grounding System: The grounding system will be upgraded to ensure proper safety and to meet code requirements.
8. Wiring: All wiring throughout the home will need to be replaced to ensure it is up to code.
9. GFCI Outlets: GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets may need to be installed in certain areas of the home, such as kitchens and bathrooms, to prevent electrical shock.
10. Outdoor GFCI: Outdoor GFCI outlets may need to be installed in areas such as patios, decks, and garages to protect against the increased risk of electrical shock due to exposure to moisture and other environmental factors. A licensed electrician can assess the existing electrical system and determine if new GFCI outlets are required, and install them in compliance with local safety standards.
11. AFCI Breakers: AFCI (Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter) breakers may need to be installed to protect against arc faults, which can cause electrical fires.
12. Surge Protection: Whole house surge protection will need to be installed to protect sensitive electronic equipment and appliances from power surges.
