What Whole-House Rewiring Involves
Rewiring replaces a home’s electrical wiring, either room by room or as a complete whole-house project, with modern, correctly rated wiring that meets current California code. It’s typically needed when existing wiring is outdated, damaged, undersized for today’s electrical loads, or flagged as a specific risk type like knob-and-tube or aluminum branch wiring.
Not every wiring issue needs a full rewire. A single problem circuit, a renovation that only touches part of the house, or a wiring type with its own dedicated fix may only need targeted work, and we’ll scope it accordingly rather than defaulting to the largest possible job.
Our Wiring Services
Knob-and-Tube Wiring Replacement
If your home was built before 1950 and your insurance company has flagged old knob-and-tube wiring, this page covers what it is, why insurers care, and how we replace it.
Aluminum Wiring Replacement
For 1960s-70s homes with aluminum branch wiring, we offer pigtailing or full replacement depending on your home’s condition.
Partial & Room-Specific Rewiring
For renovations, additions, or a single problem area that doesn’t require a full-house rewire, we scope and price the work to match the actual project.
General Signs Your Home May Need Rewiring
Frequent breaker trips that aren't tied to one specific appliance
Warm outlets, switches, or a persistent, unexplained burning smell
Wiring that's visibly damaged, frayed, or chewed by pests
You're planning a major renovation or addition that will need more circuits
Your home has never had its wiring inspected
If your home was built before 1950 or between 1965 and 1973, see our dedicated Knob-and-Tube and Aluminum Wiring pages above for wiring-type-specific signs.
What Affects Rewiring Pricing
Pricing depends primarily on scope, whole-house versus a partial or single-room rewire, and how accessible the existing wiring is. This service qualifies for both a free service call and a free estimate, one of only 6 services on the site with both.
Whole-House Rewiring
From $15/sq ft
House rewiring/partial rewiring from $15 per square foot.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring?
Knob-and-tube is common in homes built before 1950 and uses visible ceramic knobs and tubes; aluminum branch wiring is common in homes built between 1965 and 1973. See our dedicated pages for both for the specific signs to look for, or ask us during an inspection.
Do I need to rewire my whole house, or just part of it?
It depends on the issue. A renovation touching one area, or a single problem circuit, often doesn’t require a full rewire. We scope this honestly rather than defaulting to the biggest job.
Is a permit required for rewiring?
Yes, a permit is required for a whole-house or significant partial rewire in California. We handle the application and inspection scheduling as part of the job.
