Many homes in Snohomish and King County were wired decades before EVs, heat pumps, and home theaters were part of daily life. We replace aging or undersized wiring throughout the home with a system built for how it’s actually used today.
- Full home wiring replacement
- Grounding & GFCI/AFCI compliance
- Phased scheduling to limit disruption
- Permit & inspection handled
Whole-House Rewiring
Why It Matters
A System Built for How You Actually Live Today
Signs it’s time include flickering lights across multiple rooms, a panel that’s constantly maxed out, warm outlet covers, or wiring types — aluminum, cloth-insulated, or ungrounded — that insurers and inspectors flag as outdated. A full rewire is disruptive by nature, so we plan the work in phases where possible, protecting finished spaces and minimizing the time walls stay open.
Because this is often paired with a panel upgrade, we size the new system for your current load and anything you’re planning to add — generator, EV charger, or an addition — so it doesn’t need to be revisited in a few years.
“A full rewire is disruptive by nature — the goal is disruption with a plan, not surprises halfway through.”

FAQ
Common Questions About Whole-House Rewiring
How long does a whole-house rewire take?
It depends on the home’s size and whether walls are already open (as in a remodel) or need to be opened specifically for the rewire. We’ll give you a specific timeline after an on-site assessment.
Will rewiring help with my homeowners insurance?
Often, yes — some insurers require replacement of outdated wiring types like knob-and-tube or aluminum before renewing or writing a policy.
Do we have to move out during the rewire?
Most homeowners stay in the home. We plan the work in phases where possible to keep at least part of the home livable throughout the project.
Is a panel upgrade included in a whole-house rewire?
It’s common to pair the two, since we’re sizing the whole system anyway. We’ll confirm whether your existing panel has enough capacity during the assessment.
What wiring types typically get replaced?
Aluminum wiring, cloth-insulated wiring, knob-and-tube, and any ungrounded circuits are the most common types we replace during a whole-house rewire.
