The team replaces old or deteriorated components with modern, code-compliant materials to improve safety, functionality, and long-term value. With rising power usage across homes, proper electrical capacity is no longer optional—it’s a requirement for daily living.
Why Electrical Rewiring Is Necessary
Electrical rewiring is required when a home’s current system is unsafe, insufficient, or outdated. Older wiring systems are more likely to cause power outages, electrical fires, or device failures. Rewiring ensures the electrical system can safely handle current and future usage.
Outdated Wiring Increases Fire Risk
Many homes built before the 1980s contain aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube systems, or cloth-insulated wires. These materials degrade over time and are not compliant with today’s safety standards. Faulty connections, heat buildup, or exposed wiring can lead to house fires. Replacing old wiring reduces these risks and improves overall electrical safety.
Modern Appliances Require More Power
Today’s homes use more high-powered devices than ever before. HVAC systems, electric ovens, computers, and EV chargers place heavy loads on circuits. Older electrical systems may not be designed to handle these demands. Rewiring ensures each appliance or zone is supported by properly rated and grounded circuits.
Code Compliance for Safety and Resale
Local building codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC) mandate that homes adhere to specific wiring and grounding standards. Non-compliant systems may fail inspection or delay a real estate transaction. Rewiring brings the home up to code, which is necessary for both safety and property value.
Signs Your Home May Need Electrical Rewiring
Many homeowners are unaware that their electrical systems are outdated or unsafe. Recognizing the signs early can prevent serious problems. A professional assessment can determine if full or partial rewiring is required.
Frequent Tripped Breakers or Blown Fuses
If breakers trip often or fuses blow repeatedly, the electrical system may be overloaded. This is common in older homes that were not designed for today’s electrical demands. These issues indicate the need for updated wiring and circuit distribution. Rewiring allows the system to safely support modern power usage.
Discolored Outlets or Burning Smells
Outlets that are warm, discolored, or emit a burning odor are signs of internal wiring problems. These issues can result from loose connections, corrosion, or overheated wires. Left unaddressed, they can cause electrical fires. Replacing the wiring resolves the hazard and restores safe operation.
Lack of Grounding or Two-Prong Outlets
Two-prong outlets are outdated and do not provide proper grounding, which is a key safety feature in modern electrical systems. Homes without GFCIs in bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor areas also fail to meet code. Rewiring adds grounding conductors and ensures safe power delivery throughout the property.
What to Expect During the Rewiring Process
Anderson Lighting & Electric follows a clear, step-by-step process for all electrical rewiring projects. The team ensures that every phase is handled professionally, with minimal disruption to the home. All work is performed in accordance with local building codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC).
Initial Electrical Inspection and Planning
The rewiring process begins with a complete inspection of the existing electrical system. Technicians identify outdated wiring, code violations, and overloaded circuits. Based on the findings, a detailed rewiring plan is created. The plan includes scope, materials, and estimated cost.
Safe Removal and Replacement of Wiring
Old or damaged wiring is carefully removed to prevent damage to walls and ceilings. New wiring is installed using up-to-date materials and safety methods. Each room or circuit is rewired according to its power needs and current code. Dedicated circuits are added for major appliances if needed.
Final Testing and Code Compliance Check
After installation, all wiring is tested for function, grounding, and safety. Any issues are corrected before final approval. The work is reviewed to ensure full compliance with all electrical codes. Once verified, the new system is safe, efficient, and ready for use.
Benefits of Professional Electrical Rewiring
Upgrading a home’s wiring provides long-term safety and functional advantages. Anderson Lighting & Electric ensures every rewiring project improves performance, meets code, and adds value. Rewiring is not just a repair—it’s an investment in property protection.
Increased Electrical Safety
Old or damaged wiring increases the risk of electrical fires and shocks. Rewiring replaces these hazards with modern materials and proper grounding. The system is designed to handle the home’s current and future electrical load. This reduces the chance of overheating, arcing, or system failure.
Better Energy Efficiency and Reliability
New wiring systems reduce power loss and improve current flow. This can lead to fewer voltage drops and more stable operation of appliances. Circuit distribution is optimized to prevent overloads. As a result, the home runs more efficiently and with fewer disruptions.
Higher Property Value and Insurance Approval
A professionally rewired home is more attractive to buyers and meets lender requirements. Insurance companies may require updated wiring for coverage or offer lower premiums for systems that comply with these standards. Rewiring ensures the home meets the standards for resale, rental, and financing.
Types of Properties That May Require Rewiring
Electrical rewiring is not limited to old homes. A variety of property types may need updated systems due to age, renovations, or safety concerns. Anderson Lighting & Electric provides rewiring services for residential and multi-unit properties.
Older Homes with Original Wiring
Homes built before 1980 often have wiring that no longer meets today’s standards. These systems may include aluminum, knob-and-tube, or cloth-insulated wiring. These materials can degrade over time and present safety risks. Full rewiring replaces these systems with safe, grounded wiring.
Renovated or Expanded Homes
Remodeled homes often require updated electrical systems to support new layouts or appliances. Additions like extra rooms, kitchens, or garages increase the power demand. Rewiring ensures the expanded areas are integrated into the electrical system safely and efficiently. This includes updating service panels and adding circuits as needed.
Rental and Multi-Unit Properties
Landlords and property managers are responsible for ensuring the provision of safe electrical systems. Dated wiring can lead to tenant complaints, safety violations, or insurance issues. Rewiring reduces liability and ensures the property meets code. Anderson Lighting & Electric offers solutions for duplexes, triplexes, and larger residential buildings.
Cost and Timeline for Electrical Rewiring
The cost and duration of an electrical rewiring project depend on several key factors. Anderson Lighting & Electric provides clear estimates and efficient service to keep projects on schedule. Every rewiring job is customized to meet the needs of the property and the client.
Factors That Influence Rewiring Cost
Pricing varies based on the size of the home, the condition of existing wiring, and the complexity of the system. Other factors include the number of outlets, lighting zones, and panel upgrades. Full rewiring typically ranges between $8,000 and $15,000. Smaller or partial rewiring projects may cost less, depending on the scope.
Estimated Project Duration
Most complete residential rewiring jobs take between 3 and 10 business days. The timeline depends on the size of the home, wall accessibility, and any necessary permit approvals.
