Is It Time To Rewire Your Home or Business?
Over time, electrical wiring can deteriorate, reducing safety and efficiency while potentially falling out of code. This can lead to fire hazards, blown fuses, and insurance issues.
If your property hasn’t had an electrical inspection in over 20 years, or you notice flickering lights, buzzing sounds, or warm outlets, it may be time for professional rewiring.
At Home Comfort Experts, our licensed electricians provide thorough inspections and expert rewiring services to bring your system up to code, support modern appliances, and prevent costly problems. As a local company, we understand the needs of homes and businesses in your area and are committed to your safety and peace of mind.
Common Signs You May Need Rewiring
Watch for these warning signs that indicate your electrical system may need rewiring:
Flickering or dimming lights
- Circuit breakers that trip frequently
- Outlets or switches that feel warm to the touch
- Burning smells or buzzing noises
- Two-prong outlets without a grounding wire
- Presence of outdated wiring, such as knob-and-tube or aluminum
These issues should never be ignored. For your safety, contact our licensed electricians to inspect your system promptly.
Homes Most Likely To Need Rewiring
Some homes are more likely to need rewiring than others, based on the following criteria:
- Homes built before the 1970s
- Homes being remodeled or expanded
- Properties with no GFCI outlets or only two-prong plugs
- Homes with older breaker panels
Even if you haven’t noticed a problem, old systems can be unsafe. A quick inspection can help catch issues early.

Our full-service rewiring solutions include:
Whole-Home Rewiring
If your home has outdated or unsafe wiring, a full rewiring may be the best solution. This is especially true for homes built before the 1970s or homes that still use outdated knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring.
Here’s what you can expect from a whole-home rewiring:
- Inspection of the entire system
- Removal of old wiring
- Installation of new wires, outlets, and breakers
- Updated grounding and surge protection
- Final testing and cleanup
Depending on your home’s size, this process can take a few days to a couple of weeks. Our rewiring service adds value, improves safety, and may help with home insurance and resale value.
Room-Specific or Partial Rewiring
Sometimes, you only need to update the wiring in certain parts of your home instead of rewiring the whole house. Home Comfort Experts offers flexible rewiring services designed to fit your specific needs and budget.
This option is perfect if you are remodeling a kitchen or bathroom, adding outlets or lighting in a garage, updating a home office, or turning a basement into a living space. We’ll work with you to make sure the work matches your goals while keeping your home safe and working well.
Rewiring for Safety and Code Compliance
Electrical codes change over time. If your wiring doesn’t meet the current National Electrical Code (NEC), you may be at risk for fire or insurance issues. We help bring your system up to code with:
- Upgraded breaker panels
- Proper grounding and GFCI outlets
- Circuit balancing to prevent overloads
This type of electrical rewiring keeps your home running smoothly and helps prevent power surges or blown breakers.
Rewiring for Modern Appliances and Smart Technology
New appliances and smart tech often need more power than old wiring can handle. Whether you're adding a smart thermostat, HVAC system, EV charger, or induction stove, we can help make sure your wiring supports it.
We install:
- Dedicated circuits for large appliances
- New outlets with the correct voltage
- Surge protection and load balancing
If you're also upgrading comfort features like ceiling fans, we offer professional ceiling fan installation and repair to help complete your space.
What to Expect During Electrical Rewiring
Rewiring a house can sound overwhelming, but with the right team, it doesn’t have to be. At Home Comfort Experts, we walk you through every step of the process and make sure your home stays clean, safe, and functional throughout the project.
Here’s what to expect from a typical rewiring job:
Initial Inspection and Planning
Every project starts with a detailed site visit. Our licensed electricians will inspect your current electrical system, identify any safety hazards like old wiring or outdated panels, and talk with you about your needs.
We also calculate circuit loads, plan proper grounding, and map out where new outlets or panels will go. Before any work begins, you'll receive a clear estimate, timeline, and project overview.
Installation and Upgrade Work
After planning is complete, we begin the rewiring process. First, we safely turn off the power and open any necessary wall spaces. Our team carefully removes outdated wiring and replaces it with safe, code-compliant materials. This often includes:
- Adding grounded outlets
- Installing modern switches
- Upgrading circuit breakers
Next, we install new wiring based on your home’s electrical load needs. This may include electrical panel upgrades or installing dedicated circuits for appliances or smart devices
Once the new wiring is in place, we patch any wall openings and restore the space to its original condition. We take great care to reduce mess and disruption during the process. Our technicians respect your home and make sure everything stays as clean and organized as possible.
Final Testing and Cleanup
Before we finish, we thoroughly test each outlet, switch, and breaker to make sure everything is safe and working correctly. We also check for proper grounding and ensure all GFCI and safety features meet the National Electrical Code (NEC).
After testing, we walk through the completed work with you and answer any questions. Our team then handles cleanup, removing all debris, organizing tools, and restoring any work areas.
You’ll also receive documentation for your records, including information about permits, code compliance, and what was updated. Our goal is to leave your space safer, more efficient, and fully prepared for your everyday life.
Warning Signs You May Need Electrical Rewiring
Outdated or faulty electrical wiring can create serious safety hazards and reduce your home’s efficiency. It’s important to watch for warning signs and schedule an inspection to help prevent dangers like electrical fires, damage to your appliances, or electric shocks.
Frequent Breaker Trips or Blown Fuses
If your breaker trips often or fuses blow repeatedly, it could mean your electrical system is overloaded or that the wiring is failing. Older homes, especially, may not have enough circuits to handle today’s power needs.
At Home Comfort Experts, our licensed electricians provide expert electrical repair services to diagnose and fix these issues, helping keep your home safe and running smoothly.
Warm or Discolored Outlets and Switches
Outlets or switches that feel warm to the touch, show burn marks, or have discoloration are warning signs of overheating. This often means unsafe wiring behind the walls that needs immediate attention to prevent fire risks.
Home Comfort Experts offers professional electrical outlet installation services to address these issues safely and effectively.
Burning Smell or Buzzing Sounds From Walls
A burning plastic smell or buzzing noises coming from your walls could mean that the electrical wiring is arcing or overheating. Both conditions are serious fire hazards. If you notice these signs, it’s important to call a licensed electrician right away for a thorough inspection and repair.
Lack of GFCI or Three-Prong Outlets
Homes without Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages do not meet current safety codes. Two-prong outlets also indicate older wiring that likely lacks proper grounding.
Our electrical outlet installation services can upgrade your home with safe, up-to-date outlets for peace of mind and protection.
Outdated Aluminum or Knob-and-Tube Wiring
If your home was built before 1970, it may still have aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring. These types of wiring are outdated and considered unsafe by today’s electrical standards. Home Comfort Experts offers rewiring services to replace these systems with modern wiring that keeps your home safe and efficient.

Electrical Rewiring FAQs
How long does a full home rewiring take?
Most full-home rewiring projects take between a few days and one week. The exact timeline depends on the size of your home, the number of circuits, and how easily electricians can access the wiring. Our team will give you a clear schedule before work begins.
Will I need to vacate my home during rewiring?
In most cases, you can stay in your home while rewiring is underway. However, if the project is large or affects essential areas like the kitchen or bathroom, you might prefer to stay somewhere else for comfort. We’ll help you plan and keep disruption to a minimum.
How much does rewiring a house typically cost?
The cost to rewire a house depends on the home's size, the age of the wiring, and how much needs to be replaced. We always provide a detailed, upfront estimate before starting any work so you know what to expect.
Can I rewire just one room at a time?
Yes, you can rewire only part of your home instead of doing everything at once. This is a smart option if you’re remodeling a room or want to spread out the cost. We’ll work with you
to create a plan that fits your needs and budget.
Is rewiring covered by homeowner’s insurance?
Sometimes. Coverage depends on your insurance policy and the reason for the rewiring. We recommend calling your insurance provider to ask if electrical upgrades or safety improvements are included in your coverage plan.
