Rutherford whole house rewiring FAQs
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 Rutherford takes roughly one to two weeks.
In customers' words
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.
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.
Three ceiling fans installed where there were only light fixtures before. They swapped in fan-rated boxes and balanced all three. Quiet and solid.
