Home Rewiring Services

The last thing you want to deal with after returning home from a nice day at Old Salem Museums and Gardens is an annoying electrical problem. You may need to consider home rewiring to get the electrical wiring in your home up to par. Read on to learn why you should consider electrical rewiring, how the rewiring process works, and how the experts at QRC can help North Carolina homeowners. 

Why Rewire Your Home?

Some electrical issues can be repaired, but there are many reasons why you may want to consider a home wiring upgrade. Here are some of the benefits of whole-house rewiring:

• Improved safety: Replacing old wiring or faulty wiring makes your home safer by reducing the risk of overloaded circuits, electrical shock, electrical fire hazards, and other electrical-related dangers. 
• Better efficiency: Upgrading your wiring improves energy efficiency by providing enhanced electrical capacity to better handle modern appliances and other updated technology. As a result, it can save you money on electrical bills.
• Increased home resale value: Opting for whole-house rewiring may increase your home’s resale value. New electrical wiring can make your home more appealing to potential buyers when you’re ready to sell.

Home rewiring improves your home’s energy efficiency, safety, and functionality. You’ll reap the benefits of a more modern electrical system while getting peace of mind.

The Rewiring Process 

A typical home rewiring project can take a few days to a few weeks and during that time we will have the power to your home turned off while we work. The timeline largely depends on the size of your home, the complexity of the wiring, and the type of upgrades. 

To prepare for home rewiring, get a full electrical assessment to determine your needs and budget. Next, move all furniture and valuables from work areas and plan to stay elsewhere temporarily as we complete the job. We’ll do our best to minimize damage to your walls and ceilings by using access points like existing outlets and fishing electrical wire through the walls. 

What are some signs your house needs rewiring? Here are common signs that you may have old or faulty wiring that should be replaced:

• Flickering lights: If your lights flicker or dim frequently, you could have faulty wiring, loose wiring connections, or overloaded circuits.
• Tripped breakers: If you notice issues like frequent circuit breaker tripping or blown fuses, it might be because the existing wiring can no longer handle your home’s electrical load.
• Burning odors: A strong burning smell near electrical outlets or switches is a serious sign of overheating wiring.
• Discolored outlets: Discoloration, such as yellowing or blackening around outlets and switch plates, may indicate loose connections. This can cause the wiring to arc, presenting a serious fire hazard that needs attention.
• Buzzing sounds: Strange buzzing noises coming from an outlet usually suggest faulty wiring or a loose connection.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between whole-house rewiring and partial rewiring? Which one do I need?

Whole-house rewiring involves replacing all the wiring in your home, while partial rewiring only involves replacing the wiring in specific areas. You may need whole-home rewiring if you have old aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring. If you’re renovating or only certain circuits need updating, you may only need a partial rewiring.

What are some common challenges you encounter during rewiring projects?

Some of the most common challenges we face during rewiring are dealing with old, deteriorated wiring, difficulty accessing hard-to-reach areas, and navigating complicated layouts in certain homes. We also have to manage safety risks due to live electricity to ensure the highest quality control throughout the process.
