Electrical Installation Service & Wiring

• Ease of Access to Wiring - Many electrical rewiring projects involve tearing down walls. Thankfully, our experienced electricians frequently find alternatives to removing drywall. With skill, extensive planning, and the proper tools, we will check if your attic or crawlspace provides an easier way to feed wires through the walls.
• Materials Used - Typical home electrical wiring consists of three separate wires in insulated sleeves. The black or “hot” wire carries the electrical current, the white or “neutral” wire sends unused electricity back to the breaker panel, and the bare copper wire is used to ground the electrical circuit. In addition to the wiring itself, we always arrive prepared with volt detectors, wire strippers, wire nuts, hook-up wires, conduits, electrical tape, outlets, and single-pole/double-pole light switches.
• Labor Involved - The labor largely correlates to the task size and architectural layout. When rewiring a whole system, we will always try to first access your wiring through attics, basements, crawl spaces, or floor joists. Unfortunately, some cases require making holes in the drywall to access old wires and fish through new wiring. If this course is necessary, the labor will be more involved as we will also need to tear down and patch up sections of your walls.
• Whether Walls Need to Be Opened -As just noted, our technicians may need to open walls to run wires or install new switches, outlets, and panels. You can rest assured that this will be our last option. If it is necessary, there is still a silver lining: Our electrical specialists know how to plan methodically to mitigate damage, labor, and costs.
• Individual or Various Electrical Work to Be Done - When remodeling or building an add-on, we can help identify areas that are ideal for outlets and lighting fixtures. Scheduling rewiring work while remodeling a home is a great way to take advantage of the enhanced ease of access. Similarly, if we must tear down drywall to rewire your circuit, we recommend considering all possible electrical upgrades at that time.

Can I Run My Own Electrical Wiring?

It may save money short-term, but DIY electrical work is dangerous and often illegal. It can:

• Put you at risk of injury or death by consequence of severe electrical shock
• Result in a structural fire due to faulty wiring
• Nullify your home insurance policy

We highly recommend letting a qualified electrician rewire circuits, install/replace power outlets, install/replace ceiling fans and light switches, and carry out any complex electrical projects. Electricians go through years of training for a reason – to provide low-risk electrical services.

Is DIY Electrical Work Illegal?

The legality of DIY electrical work varies between states and municipalities. Many jurisdictions allow owner-occupants to perform basic electrical work, so long as this work is not performed commercially. Nevertheless, it is universally recommended to check with local ordinances before starting any electrical project and to hire a professional electrician if you intend to sell your home. DIY electrical projects may be legal, but they can also jeopardize your home and void relevant fire insurance coverage. More importantly, DIY electric work is extremely dangerous as even a simple 110-volt outlet can cause severe injuries and death.

Why Hire a Highly Trained Electrician to Provide Electrical Installation & Wiring Services?

DIY electrical work may seem okay at first, but faulty wiring can cause a fire or electrical problem months or even years down the line. Out-of-code electrical work will also cause problems during home inspections if you ever decide to move or sell your house. Our electricians are versed in all local codes and regulations and will ensure everything meets industry standards.

Prevent Electrical Circuit Overload by Hiring a Top-Notch Electrician

One revealing sign of faulty wiring is recurring electrical overload. This will cause frequent power outages that increase the odds of electrical fires and dangerous surges. Many older circuit breakers are not designed to handle the dozens of devices simultaneously connected to one power source. These outdated circuit breakers leave electronics, computers, and appliances vulnerable to power surges that can cause severe damage. Even a minor power interruption can cause data loss and technological setbacks. The good news is that by calling our team, you can easily avoid these issues.

How Long Does It Take for Electrical & Wiring Installation or Repair?

How long it takes for an electrician to complete a rewiring task varies depending on the specific property’s size, electrical layout, and countless other situational dynamics. The process can take anywhere from a few days to replace outlets to a few weeks if an entire home needs to be rewired. By choosing our expert electrical technicians, you will receive communicative, proactive, and fast-moving services. We always go above and beyond to streamline the process.
