Whole-House Rewiring
Whole-House Rewiring in Stockton & Northern California

Questions
Whole-House Rewiring FAQs
Do I have to move out during a rewire?
Usually not. We work in sections so you keep power in most of the house each day.
How do you rewire without tearing out walls?
We fish new wire through attics, crawlspaces and existing cavities, and make small, neat openings where needed.
Is knob-and-tube wiring illegal?
It's not illegal to have, but it isn't grounded, isn't meant to be buried in insulation, and many insurers won't cover it. Replacing it is the safe call.
Should I replace the panel at the same time?
Often, yes. If the panel is old or full, doing both together saves a second disruption and permit.
