Service Overview
What's included
A whole-home rewire replaces all the electrical wiring in your house, from the main panel to every outlet, switch, and fixture. This comprehensive upgrade is essential for homes with knob-and-tube wiring, cloth-insulated wiring, or aluminum branch circuits that pose fire hazards. Our whole-home rewiring service includes a complete assessment of your current electrical system, strategic planning to minimize wall damage, installation of modern copper wiring with proper grounding, and final inspection with code compliance certification. We work room-by-room to minimize disruption to your daily life. The typical whole-home rewire takes 3-7 days depending on home size and complexity. We coordinate with drywall contractors and painters if needed, leaving your home better than we found it.

Whole-Home Rewiring FAQ
Common questions about whole-home electrical rewiring in St. Louis.
How long does a whole-home rewire take?+
Most whole-home rewires take 3-7 days depending on the size of your home and accessibility of wiring paths. A 1,500 sq ft home typically takes 4-5 days, while larger homes may take a full week.
Will you have to cut into my walls?+
Yes, some drywall work is necessary, but we use strategic access points and fishing techniques to minimize damage. We can coordinate with drywall and painting contractors, or you can handle repairs yourself.
Can I stay in my home during the rewire?+
Yes, in most cases. We work room-by-room and maintain power to essential areas. You may have brief periods without power to specific rooms, but the kitchen and bathrooms usually remain functional.
Is a panel upgrade included?+
Often, yes. Most homes needing a rewire also have outdated panels. We'll assess your panel and include an upgrade if needed—most rewires include a new 200-amp panel.
