What we handle: Whole House Rewiring in Rescue
Wiring wears out. Insulation turns brittle, connections loosen and systems installed for a few lamps and a radio now feed air conditioners and computers. Whole house rewiring in Rescue replaces that aging wiring with grounded copper circuits, modern breakers and enough outlets for the way you live now.
Grounding and outlet upgrades
Two-prong outlets replaced with properly grounded or GFCI-protected three-prong receptacles.
Electrical rewiring during a remodel
Open walls are the cheapest time to rewire a house. We coordinate with your contractor's schedule.
Knob and tube wiring replacement
Pre-1950 wiring with no ground and aging insulation taken out of service and replaced with modern cable.
Aluminum wiring replacement
1960s and 70s aluminum branch circuits replaced, or repaired at every connection with approved connectors.
Whole house rewiring
New circuits, grounded outlets, switches, boxes and a labeled panel throughout the home.
Partial home rewiring
Kitchens, bathrooms or the worst circuits first, when a full rewire is not in the budget this year.

Whole House Rewiring cost in Rescue
Whole house rewiring cost in Rescue depends on the size of the home, the number of circuits, how accessible the attic and crawl space are, and whether the panel is replaced at the same time.

Common questions about whole house rewiring in Rescue
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 Rescue takes roughly one to two weeks.
Will you have to tear out my walls?
No. Most cable is fished through the attic, crawl space and wall cavities. We cut small access holes only where there is no other route, and we tell you first.
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.
What customers say
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.
After two long outages we had a standby generator put in. They sized it properly instead of pushing the biggest unit, and showed us how the transfer switch works.
I called about one dead bathroom outlet. The electrician found a failed GFCI upstream, replaced it, tested every outlet on the circuit and was gone in under an hour.
