When a home's wiring is past saving — aluminum branch circuits, knob-and-tube, or just decades of patches and DIY — a full rewire brings it up to current code, opens the door to modern loads (HVAC, EV, kitchen appliances), and often clears the way for insurance coverage.
We offer flexible financing options for larger projects so you can get the work done now and pay over time.

We bring whole-home electrical rewiring to homes throughout Columbia and the surrounding Midlands. Tap a city below to see our local service-area page.
A snapshot of whole-home electrical rewiring work we've recently completed.
Typical 1,500–2,500 sq ft single-story home: 5–10 working days. Two-story or larger: 2–3 weeks. We work room by room so you keep partial power most days. Plan to lose power to specific rooms for a few hours at a time, not the whole house at once.
Most homeowners stay. We work one zone at a time, restore power at end of day, and try to keep at least the kitchen and one bathroom on full power throughout. If we're doing the kitchen or master suite, expect that area to be down for a few days.
Some, yes — but less than people expect. We fish new wire through walls wherever possible, and we cut access holes (small, drywall-patchable) at outlet locations, switches, and where we need to route runs. After we're done, you'll have small drywall repair work; we coordinate with a drywall contractor if you'd like.
Highly variable — depends on home size, wall construction (plaster vs drywall), accessibility (basement, crawl, attic), how many outlets/switches/fixtures, and whether the panel and service entrance also need work. We do a free in-home assessment and give a written flat-rate quote — no estimates by phone.
Aluminum branch wiring (1965–1973), knob-and-tube, and cloth-insulated wire are all linked to elevated fire risk in current actuarial data. Some carriers won't write a new homeowner's policy until the wiring is replaced; others will write it but with high premiums and exclusions. A documented rewire often unlocks lower premiums and fewer exclusions.
