Rewiring replaces old or unsafe wiring with new circuits built to current code. It matters most in older homes, where the original wiring was never designed for what a family plugs in today.
Wiring worth a closer look
- knob-and-tube wiring
- older aluminum branch wiring
- cloth-covered wire
- two-prong outlets with no ground
- past repairs that were not done to code
Whole house or part of it
Not every older home needs everything replaced. We look at what is there, tell you what needs to go and what can stay, and plan the work around how you live in the house.
The best time to do it
When the walls are open. If a remodel or addition is coming, plan the wiring with it.
Where we do this work
Across New Hanover, Pender and Brunswick counties, including Wilmington, Castle Hayne, Hampstead, Leland, Carolina Beach. See the full service area.
Quick answers
How do I know if my house needs rewiring?
Warning signs are two-prong outlets, cloth-covered wire, knob-and-tube or older aluminum wiring, and repeated faults on the same circuits. An inspection tells you what is actually behind the walls.
Can a house be rewired in sections?
Often, yes. Many projects go room by room or start with the circuits that matter most. A remodel is a good time, because the walls are already open.
Does rewiring need a permit?
Yes, rewiring all or part of a house generally needs an electrical permit and an inspection.
