Home Rewiring in Colorado Springs, CO

Complete and partial house rewiring solutions to restore safety and eliminate fire hazards.

Reliable Whole-Home & Partial Rewiring Solutions

Legacy electrical wiring systems like ungrounded two-wire cables, aluminum branch circuits, and knob-and-tube setups were never designed to power today's high-demand appliances and electronics. As these wires age, insulation degrades, creating serious fire hazards and shock risks. As certified Master and Journeyman Electricians, we provide complete and partial home rewiring across Colorado Springs. We modernize your system with code-compliant copper wiring, AFCI/GFCI protection, and proper grounding—all without high-pressure sales pitches.

Common Signs Your Home Needs Rewiring

  • Your home was built before 1975 and still features two-prong ungrounded wall outlets.
  • Wall outlets or switch plates feel hot to the touch or show dark discoloration around plug slots.
  • Circuit breakers trip frequently when running everyday household appliances.
  • You notice burning smells or hear faint buzzing noises behind drywall or baseboards.
  • Your home insurance provider requires an electrical system update before renewing your policy.
  • Lights dim or flicker significantly whenever heavy loads, like vacuum cleaners or microwaves, turn on.

Don't Ignore Deteriorating House Wiring

Deteriorated wiring insulation exposes live conductors inside wall cavities, dramatically increasing the risk of electrical arcs and internal fires. Updating your electrical infrastructure restores full capacity, grounds all outlets, and ensures your home satisfies modern building codes and insurance mandates.

Home Rewiring FAQs

  • Why is aluminum wiring considered dangerous in older homes?

    Aluminum expands and contracts significantly more than copper, which leads to loose connections at switch terminals, overheating, arc faults, and potential wall fires.

  • Do you have to tear down all the drywall to rewire a home?

    No, we use specialized wire-pulling techniques and flexible drill bits to snake new wire through walls, basements, and attics with minimal damage to existing drywall.

  • How long does a whole-home rewiring project take to complete?

    Depending on square footage, home layout, and access points, a complete house rewiring typically takes between three to seven days.

  • Can I rewire my home in stages rather than all at once?

    Yes, we can perform partial rewiring, prioritizing high-risk zones like kitchens, bathrooms, basements, or specific ungrounded circuits first.

  • Will whole-house rewiring require electrical permits and inspections in El Paso County?

    Yes, rewiring projects require municipal permits and city inspections to confirm that all branch circuits and grounding systems strictly comply with current codes.

  • Does rewiring include upgrading outlets to modern three-prong and GFCI/AFCI receptacles?

    Yes, complete rewiring includes installing grounded three-prong outlets, arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCI), and ground-fault protection (GFCI) in mandated locations.
