Wiring + Rewiring

Common signs include frequently tripping breakers, flickering or dimming lights, warm or discolored outlets, burning smells near outlets or switches, two-prong (ungrounded) outlets throughout the home, or wiring types known to be hazardous such as knob-and-tube or aluminum.

If your home was built before 1970 and has not been rewired, Above + Beyond strongly recommends a professional electrical inspection. Our licensed electricians can identify hazards and recommend the safest path forward.

Rewiring costs depend on the size of your home, the number of circuits, the accessibility of walls and ceilings, and the extent of the upgrade. Above + Beyond provides a detailed, transparent estimate after an on-site evaluation.

While rewiring is a significant investment, it eliminates fire hazards, supports modern electrical demands, and can increase your home's value. Our team works room by room to minimize disruption to your daily life.

A typical whole-home rewire takes 5 to 10 business days depending on the size of the house, wall accessibility, and whether drywall repair is included. Above + Beyond provides a clear timeline during the estimate so you can plan accordingly.

We work room by room, maintaining power to as much of the house as possible throughout the process. Our goal is to complete the project efficiently while keeping disruption to a minimum.

Aluminum wiring, commonly installed in homes from the mid-1960s to mid-1970s, expands and contracts more than copper, which can loosen connections over time and create fire hazards at outlets, switches, and junction boxes.

Above + Beyond's licensed electricians can evaluate your aluminum wiring and recommend options ranging from full rewiring to installing approved copper-to-aluminum connectors (pigtailing) depending on your home's condition and budget.

Knob-and-tube wiring was standard before the 1940s and lacks a ground wire, cannot safely handle modern electrical loads, and is often degraded after decades of service. Most insurers will not cover homes with active knob-and-tube wiring.

Above + Beyond strongly recommends replacing knob-and-tube wiring with modern, grounded circuits. Our licensed electricians handle the full rewire, permits, and inspections to bring your home up to current code.

Yes, whole-home rewiring requires an electrical permit and inspections in most jurisdictions. Above + Beyond handles all permit applications and coordinates inspections as part of our rewiring service.

Working with a licensed electrician who handles permits ensures the work is code-compliant and properly documented. This protects your family's safety and your home's resale value.
