Older Wiring, Modern Demands

Springfield and the surrounding Clark County communities have no shortage of charming older homes — and with that charm often comes original wiring that was never designed for today’s electrical demand. Knob-and-tube wiring, cloth-insulated cable, and aluminum branch wiring were all common decades ago, and each comes with its own safety considerations.

A full or partial rewire brings your home’s electrical system up to current code, improves safety, and gives you the capacity for modern appliances, home offices, and electronics without constantly tripping breakers.

Signs Your Home May Need Rewiring

  • Your home still has any original knob-and-tube wiring
  • Breakers trip often or outlets feel warm to the touch
  • Lights flicker or dim when other appliances turn on
  • You smell a faint burning odor near outlets or switches
  • Your homeowner’s insurance has flagged the wiring type
  • You’re renovating and want to avoid opening walls twice

How a Rewire Project Works

1. Inspection & Plan

We assess your current wiring and map out what needs to be replaced versus what can stay.

2. Flat-Rate Proposal

You get one clear price for the scope of work, with permitting handled on our end.

3. Phased, Clean Execution

We work in phases to minimize disruption and restore walls and finishes as we go.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to rewire my whole house at once?

No. Many homeowners rewire in phases, prioritizing the areas with the oldest or riskiest wiring first.

Will rewiring require opening my walls?

Some wall access is usually needed, and we work carefully to minimize patching and restore finishes as part of the job.

Does rewiring help with a home sale or insurance?

Yes, updated wiring can make a home easier to insure and more attractive to buyers during inspection.
