Professional Wiring Installations
Without properly functioning wiring in your home, you can be impacted in several ways. Not only will your electrical equipment fail to operate as it should, but also your safety could be at risk.

What Does Rewiring a House Involve?
Although we handle wiring installations for new homes and room additions, we are regularly called on to provide residential rewiring services. Perhaps you’ve heard that terminology before, but just what does rewiring a house involve? When our electricians rewire your house, we’ll remove all the electrical wiring from every room in your home and replace it with new wiring that’s safe and meets the latest regulations. This process typically takes anywhere from 3 to 10 days to complete, depending on the size and age of your home, as well as the extent of the project. If you live in an older home, you can expect the rewiring to take about a week.
There are numerous benefits of rewiring a home, including:
- Reduced risk of electrical fires
- Compliance with building regulations
- Peace of mind
- Increased property value
- Greater ability to power modern devices
- Better energy efficiency
- Improved usability of the property
