Determining whether your home needs rewiring isn’t always obvious, but there are clear warning signs that indicate it’s time for professional evaluation. Frequent circuit breaker trips that occur even with normal electrical usage often signal overloaded or deteriorating wiring systems. Flickering lights throughout your home, especially when large appliances turn on, can indicate inadequate wiring that can’t handle your electrical demands safely.
More serious warning signs include burning smells from outlets or switches, which can indicate dangerous arcing or overheating conditions that require immediate attention. Outlets that feel warm to the touch, scorch marks around switches or outlets, or mild electrical shocks when touching appliances all point to wiring problems that pose real safety risks to your family.
Many older homes throughout our service area were built when electrical demands were much lower than today’s standards. What seemed adequate for a few lights and basic appliances decades ago simply can’t handle modern homes filled with computers, large appliances, electric vehicle chargers, and comprehensive entertainment systems. This increased demand on aging wiring creates dangerous conditions that rewiring can eliminate completely.
Homes built before 1950 often contain knob-and-tube wiring, an early electrical system that uses ceramic knobs and tubes to route individual wires through wall and ceiling spaces. While this system worked adequately when it was installed, it lacks the grounding protection modern electrical systems require and uses cloth or rubber insulation that deteriorates over time, creating fire hazards.
Aluminum wiring, commonly installed in homes built during the 1960s and 1970s, presents different but equally serious safety concerns. Aluminum expands and contracts more than copper when heated and cooled, causing connections to loosen over time. These loose connections create resistance that generates heat, leading to potential fire hazards that have caused numerous house fires over the decades.
Even homes with copper wiring may need rewiring if the insulation has deteriorated, if the system lacks proper grounding, or if previous electrical work was done improperly. Joe G. praised our team in June 2025 for quickly identifying and resolving a hidden electrical hazard, demonstrating how professional evaluation can uncover dangerous conditions that aren’t immediately obvious to homeowners.
Home rewiring requires careful planning, precise execution, and thorough attention to detail that ensures your new electrical system will serve your family safely for decades. Our process begins with a comprehensive evaluation of your home’s existing electrical system, including mapping current circuits, identifying code violations or safety hazards, assessing your home’s electrical capacity needs, and developing a detailed rewiring plan that minimizes disruption to your daily life.
The actual rewiring process involves strategically routing new wiring through your home’s structure while preserving your walls, ceilings, and finishes as much as possible. Our experienced electricians understand how to work efficiently in existing homes, using techniques that minimize damage and reduce the need for extensive repairs after the electrical work is complete.
We install modern electrical components throughout the process, including new outlets with proper grounding and GFCI protection where required, updated switches and fixtures that meet current safety standards, modern electrical panels that can handle your home’s electrical demands, and comprehensive grounding systems that provide essential safety protection.
David T. highlighted our knowledgeable approach and clear communication in his May 2025 review, noting how we keep customers informed throughout complex projects like home rewiring. We understand that rewiring can seem overwhelming, so we explain each step of the process and help you understand exactly what we’re doing and why each component is necessary for your safety.
One of the most critical aspects of home rewiring is ensuring all work meets current electrical codes and passes required inspections. This is especially important for homeowners preparing for real estate transactions, where outdated electrical systems can delay or derail sales completely. Our team stays current with all relevant electrical codes and understands the specific requirements that electrical inspectors look for during their evaluations.
Modern electrical codes require numerous safety features that older homes typically lack, including GFCI protection in bathrooms, kitchens, garages, and outdoor areas, AFCI protection that prevents electrical fires caused by arc faults, proper grounding throughout the electrical system, and adequate electrical capacity to handle modern appliances and devices safely.
We handle all permitting and inspection coordination for your rewiring project, ensuring applications are submitted correctly, scheduling required inspections at appropriate project milestones, addressing any inspector comments or required modifications, and providing all documentation needed for final approval. This comprehensive approach ensures your rewiring project is completed legally and safely.
We understand that home rewiring can seem disruptive, which is why REddie Electric has developed techniques that minimize the impact on your daily life while ensuring thorough, high-quality work. Our approach includes careful planning that allows portions of your home to remain functional during the rewiring process, strategic scheduling that completes work efficiently room by room, and protective measures that keep dust and debris contained in work areas.
Whenever possible, we work to maintain power to essential areas of your home during the rewiring process, though some temporary disruptions are unavoidable when connecting new circuits to your main electrical panel. We coordinate these disruptions carefully, ensuring you know exactly when power will be off and for how long, so you can plan accordingly.
Our electricians treat your home with respect throughout the rewiring process, using protective coverings for floors and furniture, cleaning up thoroughly at the end of each work day, and restoring any access holes or openings we create as cleanly as possible. This attention to detail has earned us praise from customers like Olga E., who noted our high-quality work and fair pricing in her April 2025 review.

Many home rewiring projects also involve upgrading your home’s overall electrical capacity to handle modern demands safely. Older homes typically have 60-amp or 100-amp electrical services that were adequate decades ago but can’t handle today’s electrical loads without risk of overloading.
Modern home rewiring often includes upgrading to 200-amp service that provides ample capacity for current and future electrical needs, installing additional circuits for high-demand appliances like electric ranges, dryers, and HVAC systems, adding dedicated circuits for electric vehicle chargers or other specialized equipment, and ensuring your electrical panel has room for future additions or modifications.
This comprehensive approach to electrical capacity ensures your newly rewired home can handle whatever electrical demands your family has now and in the future, eliminating the need for costly upgrades shortly after completing your rewiring project.
