Home rewiring in Charleston, WV

A lot of homes in the Kanawha Valley were wired decades ago. We replace old and unsafe wiring, usually without tearing out walls.

New wiring run through walls and ceiling during a rewire

Wiring we replace

  • Knob-and-tube wiring, common in homes built before the 1950s
  • Aluminum branch wiring from the 1960s and '70s
  • Ungrounded two-prong circuits
  • Damaged, chewed, or DIY wiring that isn't to code
  • Partial rewires for kitchens, baths, and additions
  • AFCI and GFCI protection added during rewiring

Common questions

Do you have to tear out my walls?

Usually not. Most rewiring is fished through walls from the attic and basement with small access openings, which we patch afterward.

Will old wiring affect my insurance?

Some insurers won't cover, or charge more for, homes with knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring. We can provide documentation once it's replaced.

Lost power or smell burning?

Licensed electricians on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
