What Is Involved in Full House Rewiring?
All homes are built with a dedicated electrical wiring system that provides a reliable source of power to the lights, appliances, tools, and other equipment. This wiring is built to last a long time, but many days of supplying electricity will eventually deteriorate the wires. A full home rewiring project involves replacing all the outdated, malfunctioning wires with new connections.
In addition to stripping out chewed, eroded, frayed, or cut wires, our electricians will assess whether any wires can be salvaged. Then, following this test, they will put in a brand-new electrical panel. This enables the circuit breaker to adequately handle the system’s increased load.
Signs You Need a Home Rewire
If you live in an older home, it may be time to consider rewiring. Faulty or outdated wiring can pose serious safety risks. Here are some key signs that your home may need a full rewiring:
- Frequent Circuit Breaker Trips: If your breaker trips often, your system may be overloaded.
- Flickering or Dimming Lights: This could indicate faulty wiring or insufficient power supply.
- Burning Smell or Scorch Marks: Signs of overheating wires, which can lead to electrical fires.
- Buzzing Sounds or Warm Outlets: Electrical components should never be warm or emit noise.
- Two-Prong Outlets: Older homes may have ungrounded outlets, which are a safety hazard.
If you notice any of these signs, it’s crucial to contact a licensed electrician for an inspection.

Commonly Asked Questions
How long does a full home rewiring project take?
The duration of a full home rewiring project depends on the size and complexity of the house. On average, it can take anywhere from a few days to two weeks. Factors like accessibility, the extent of outdated wiring, and necessary panel upgrades can impact the timeline.
Do I need to leave my home during the rewiring process?
In most cases, you can stay in your home during a rewiring project, but certain areas may be temporarily without power. If extensive rewiring is needed or if your home has significant safety concerns, it may be advisable to arrange alternative accommodations for a short period.
What are the signs of outdated or unsafe wiring?
Common signs of outdated wiring include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering lights, buzzing outlets, and a burning smell near electrical panels. If your home still has knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, it’s a good idea to schedule an inspection with a professional electrician.
Will rewiring my home increase its resale value?
Yes, rewiring can positively impact your home’s resale value. Modern electrical systems are a key selling point, ensuring potential buyers that the home is safe and up to code. Many homebuyers are wary of purchasing homes with outdated wiring due to potential hazards and upgrade costs.
Is a permit required for home rewiring in Seattle?
Yes, a permit is required for any major electrical work, including a full home rewiring project. In Seattle, electrical permits must be obtained through the local building department, and all work must comply with the latest electrical codes. Our team ensures all necessary permits and inspections are handled properly.
What should I do if my home has old cloth-covered wiring?
Cloth-covered wiring, commonly found in older homes, is a fire hazard due to its deteriorating insulation. If your home has cloth-covered wiring, it’s best to have a licensed electrician assess the situation and replace it with modern, safer wiring materials.
Can I upgrade my electrical panel along with rewiring my home?
Yes, upgrading your electrical panel is often recommended when rewiring a home, especially if your current panel is outdated or unable to handle increased electrical demand. A new panel improves safety and ensures your home can support modern appliances and technology.
