Common questions about whole house rewiring in Occidental
Is knob and tube wiring dangerous?
It was safe when installed, but it has no ground, its insulation breaks down, and it was never meant to be buried in attic insulation or to carry modern loads. Many insurers also decline to cover it.
Do I have to replace aluminum wiring?
Not always. Where full replacement is not practical, each connection can be repaired with connectors rated for aluminum. We explain both options and the cost of each.
Should I upgrade the panel at the same time?
Often it makes sense, since new circuits need breaker space. See our electrical panel upgrade page, or start with an electrical inspection if you are unsure what the house needs.
Can I live in the house during a rewire?
Usually. We rewire in sections and restore power to the areas you need each evening. A full rewire of an average home in Occidental takes roughly one to two weeks.
From recent customers
A 1940s house with original wiring. They rewired it room by room so we could keep living there, and labeled the new panel so clearly even I can read it.
Half the house went dark at 9 pm and an outlet smelled hot. They talked me through shutting off the breaker and had someone at the door that night. He fixed a burned connection and checked the rest of the circuit.
They installed our Level 2 charger in the garage and explained the load calculation in plain English. Clean conduit run, no mess, and the price matched the quote.
