Whole-Home Rewiring

Aging wiring is the leading cause of residential electrical fires in the US. If your home still has aluminum, knob-and-tube, or cloth-wrapped wiring, a full rewire isn't optional — it's overdue.

Why It Matters

Is Your Wiring a Hidden Hazard?

Homes built before 1980 were wired for a fraction of today's electrical demand. The average home in that era used 2–3 major appliances. Today's homes run EV chargers, smart panels, home offices, large-screen TVs, and HVAC systems simultaneously — all on wiring that was never designed for it.

Old wiring doesn't just underperform. It deteriorates. Insulation cracks, connections corrode, and aluminum wiring expands and contracts with heat in ways that loosen connections over time. A full rewire replaces every circuit in your home with modern copper wiring rated for today's loads — and gives you the peace of mind that your family is safe.

  • Home was built before 1980 and has never been rewired
  • Knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring identified by an inspector
  • Frequent tripped breakers across multiple circuits
  • Burning smell with no identifiable source
  • Planning a major renovation or addition that requires updated electrical

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does whole-home rewiring cost in DFW?

Full rewiring projects in DFW typically range from $8,000 to $20,000+ depending on home size, number of circuits, accessibility of wiring, and whether a panel upgrade is included. We provide a fully itemized written quote after our on-site assessment.

How long does a whole-home rewire take?

Most full rewires take 3 to 7 days depending on the size of the home. We'll give you a specific timeline during your assessment.

Will you have to open up my walls?

Some wall access is necessary, but we use techniques that minimize damage — routing wiring through attics, basements, and existing pathways where possible. We're experienced at reducing the scope of drywall work significantly compared to other contractors.

Do I have to move out during a rewire?

For most rewires, you can stay in your home. Power to specific areas will be off during those phases of work. We coordinate the schedule to keep disruption manageable and make sure you always have power where you need it.

Will my homeowner's insurance change after a rewire?

In most cases, yes — for the better. Insurers often reduce premiums or require full coverage documentation after knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring is replaced. We provide complete documentation for your insurer.

Does a rewire include replacing outlets and switches?

Yes. A full rewire includes new outlets, switches, and junction boxes throughout the home. Everything is replaced with code-compliant, modern devices.

I called at 10pm on a Saturday because half my house lost power. They had someone at my door within 45 minutes. Fixed a tripped main breaker and checked everything to make sure we were safe. Lifesaver.
