What Is Home Rewiring?

Home rewiring involves replacing outdated or faulty electrical wiring to improve safety, reliability, and efficiency. Over time, old wiring can deteriorate, struggle to meet modern power demands, or become a fire hazard. A full or partial rewiring ensures your electrical system is up to code and capable of handling today’s energy needs.

How Do I Know If My Home Needs Rewiring?

Signs that your home may need rewiring include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, buzzing sounds, or discolored outlets and switches. If your home still has knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, or lacks grounded three-prong outlets, an upgrade is strongly recommended. A professional electrical inspection can determine if your system is outdated or unsafe.

What Are the Benefits of Rewiring a Home?

Rewiring eliminates electrical hazards, reduces the risk of power failures, and improves overall efficiency. Upgrading your wiring allows for increased power capacity, making it easier to run modern appliances and smart home technology. It also increases your home’s value and ensures compliance with current electrical codes.

How Long Does a Home Rewiring Take?

The time required for rewiring depends on the size of your home and the complexity of the project. A complete rewiring typically takes several days to a few weeks, especially if drywall or flooring needs to be removed and restored. A professional electrician can provide a timeline based on your home’s layout and wiring condition.

Does Rewiring a Home Require a Permit?

Yes, rewiring requires permits to ensure the work meets local and national electrical safety codes. Licensed electricians handle the permitting process, ensuring all updates are inspected and approved by local authorities. This ensures the work is safe, legal, and up to standard.

Can I Live in My Home During a Rewiring Project?

In many cases, homeowners can stay in their home during a rewiring project, but temporary power outages and construction work may cause disruptions. If extensive rewiring is required, it may be more convenient to relocate for a short period. An electrician can provide guidance on what to expect during the process.

How Much Does Home Rewiring Cost?

The cost of rewiring depends on factors such as the size of the home, accessibility of existing wiring, and materials used. While rewiring is an investment, it significantly improves safety and can prevent expensive electrical problems in the future. A licensed electrician can provide an estimate based on your home’s electrical needs.

Why Should I Hire a Professional for Rewiring?

Rewiring is complex and requires expert knowledge of electrical systems, safety codes, and proper installation techniques. Incorrect wiring can lead to serious hazards, including electrical fires and power failures. Hiring a licensed electrician ensures the job is done safely, efficiently, and in compliance with all regulations.

I had my hot water tank replaced, sump pump replaced, a water pressure backup sump pump added to my system and a whole home Halo Ion filter also added to reduce scaling. The entire scope was completed as previously described to me by the estimator Shawn Miller. Nick Orcutt and Mike Hehir were the technicians who completed the work. They were professional, courteous and clean. Some slight modifications had to be made to the piping runs that were discussed prior to making the changes. There were no leaks, no damage, all removed equipment was taken away, no mess to clean up. Floor covering was put down, even on the basement stairs. They put on and removed foot coverings every time they entered or left the house. No change to any of the pricing as originally quoted. I had the completed paperwork by email before they left. Perfect job by Roy’s!

Roy's Plumbing did an excellent job on my sump pump discharge and bubbler system. I had a lot of water so it made the job a muddy mess, but for the time of year, it is to be expected. My sump pump has already slowed down on running. I would recommend Roy's Plumbing for your plumbing and sump pump needs.

Noah arrived on time to replace my water heater. He was polite and explained the process in detail. He was patient and thorough. This replacement was a tough one. He cleaned up and took the time to make sure I understood what was done and what I needed to know about my new water heater. Answered my questions and reminded me to make sure I take advantage of my maintenance membership. I have used Roy’s services a few times for big jobs and their prices are better than most and the service has been amazing. I trust them with my home needs. Thanks Noah for being so awesome!

Josh B. Did an excellent job today with an issue I have had for a few years. Pro chain cleaning was recommended, and it did the trick. Would suggest this method for stubborn clogs that develop in longer drain lines where a standard diameter snake doesn’t work.

Needed to have kitchen/laundry room plumbing looked at due to a clog that persisted to happen every 2-3 years with build up. Other companies typically will just snake it & move on. Roy's took the time to get to the root of the issue & re did the plumbing lines so hopefully it will not happen again. From the diagnoser to the installer, the whole team was quick, efficient, & friendly!

Great service. The technician (Ryan) was awesome. He arrived literally within minutes of the service call ( he was finishing a job in my neighborhood) quickly diagnosed my furnace issue and made repairs within an hour. I was charged what I feel is a fair price to do something I couldn't have done myself. The replacement parts come with a warranty. Couldn't be happier. Now the wife won't yell at me because the house is freezing. Good experience all around
