Whole House Rewiring in Albion, CA

If your Albion home still has knob and tube, cloth-covered cable or 1960s aluminum branch wiring, you have probably already met the side effects: ungrounded outlets, warm switch plates, insurance questions. Our electricians plan a home rewiring so you can keep living in the house, working a section at a time and fishing new cable through walls with as few openings as possible.

Whole house rewiring questions from Albion customers

Can I stay in my home during a rewire?

In most cases, yes. We work in sections and restore power to the rooms in use at the end of each day. A full rewire of an average house takes roughly one to two weeks.

Do walls have to be opened up?

Some access is needed, but far less than most people expect. We use attics, crawl spaces and existing openings to fish cable, and cut small, clean access holes only where there is no other route.

Is knob and tube wiring illegal in California?

It is not illegal to have existing knob and tube, but it cannot be extended, it is ungrounded, and it should not be buried in insulation. Many insurers will not write or renew a policy until it is replaced.

Is partial rewiring an option?

Yes. We can prioritize the highest-risk circuits first, such as kitchen, bath and laundry, and complete the rest in later phases.
