Wiring & Rewiring Services
Your Trusted Local Electricians
Many homes, especially in historic neighborhoods like Dilworth or Plaza Midwood, hide an unseen risk: old, outdated wiring. Decades-old knob and tube or aluminum wiring were not built for modern life. This can lead to flickering lights, breakers that constantly trip, or a troubling lack of grounded outlets. If you are planning a renovation or just bought an older home, addressing the wiring is a critical first step for safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
Electrical systems often show signs of wear before a failure occurs. You should contact a professional if you notice persistent issues such as flickering or dimming lights, frequently tripping circuit breakers, outlets or switches that feel warm to the touch, a persistent burning smell, or buzzing sounds coming from your walls or fixtures.
While a single faulty outlet or switch can often be repaired individually, a full house rewire is typically recommended for older homes (often those built before the 1980s) that still have original wiring, such as knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring. If you experience widespread electrical problems across multiple circuits or have been flagged by a home inspector or insurance carrier, a full assessment is necessary to determine the scope of the work.
Many older wiring systems were not designed to handle the high electrical demand of modern appliances, smart devices, and climate control systems. Aluminum wiring can expand and contract over time, leading to loose connections and overheating, while knob-and-tube wiring often lacks proper grounding and has aging, brittle insulation. Both significantly increase the risk of electrical fires and no longer meet modern safety codes.
The process begins with a detailed professional inspection to evaluate the condition of your existing system. A technician will then develop a plan to replace old conductors with modern, compliant copper wiring. This involves running new wires through wall cavities, updating junction boxes and connection points, and ensuring the electrical panel is correctly configured to support the new layout. The project concludes with rigorous testing to ensure stability and safety.
Electrical work involves significant safety risks, including the potential for fire, electrical shock, and property damage. Furthermore, most professional wiring projects require building permits and must pass strict inspections to remain compliant with local electrical codes. A licensed electrician ensures the work is done correctly, meets safety standards, and protects your home’s value and insurance eligibility.
