Protecting Your Home During Complex Electrical Updates
Opening older walls to replace faulty wiring can feel disruptive, especially if you live in a historic home near downtown Cartersville or in the neighborhoods surrounding Dellinger Park.
Our technicians prioritize your comfort and your property's integrity throughout the rewiring process. We arrive in clearly marked vehicles, put on protective booties before stepping onto your flooring, and keep the work area clean from the initial inspection through the final installation.
Whether we are completing a whole house rewiring project to bring your system up to current safety standards or running a dedicated circuit for a new electric vehicle charger in your garage, our team treats your space with complete respect.
Installing an EV charger often requires assessing your current electrical demands and upgrading your electrical panel to safely handle the increased load, and we manage every step with precision.
Decades of Code-Compliant Craftsmanship and Safety Standards
Outdated wiring cannot support the energy-efficient appliances, entertainment systems, and heavy power draws of a modern lifestyle. When these demands overload older systems, an experienced team is needed to safely upgrade your infrastructure. Led by a master electrician and former U.S. Navy construction electrician, our family-owned company brings 25+ years of industry experience to every job.
We know homeowners often worry about rewiring costs and how long the project will take. Because every home is different, the price per square foot depends heavily on your electrical demands and existing infrastructure.
We evaluate several critical components during our wiring system assessment to determine the safest path forward:
- Evaluating the primary electrical panel for capacity issues or necessary upgrades.
- Identifying and removing outdated aluminum wiring or ungrounded systems that pose a severe fire hazard.
- Installing modern GFCI receptacles in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces to meet current electrical codes.
- Running new cables and routing new wires behind drywall with minimal structural impact.
Frequently Asked Questions About House Rewiring
Homeowners often have concerns about safety risks and the overall scope of replacing old wiring. We compiled answers to some of the most common questions our electricians hear in the field.
What Are Signs My House Needs Rewiring?
You may notice frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, scorch marks around a switch or outlet, or a slight burning odor near your electrical panel. Homes built several decades ago often can't meet modern electrical demands and should be inspected for safety.
At What Age Should a House Be Rewired?
Systems older than 40 to 50 years are generally prime candidates for rewiring. Materials degrade, and older insulation methods do not meet current safety standards.
How Do I Handle the Work Safely and Legally?
A licensed professional electrician must complete major electrical work to meet local building codes. Attempting a DIY wiring project introduces significant safety risks, including electrical fires and fatal shocks. Our team secures the necessary permits and completes the job in strict adherence to all legal requirements.

Shockingly Good Reviews

“My house was working on 1953 electrical technology. Now I have state-of-the-art, up-to-date and room to grow. I can't tell you how professional, both, Aaron and Hunter are, but I can try. These dudes didn't let up. They were in here and they were moving and working, and the whole time letting me know what it is they're doing and what the outcome will be. It went beyond my standard for what a pro is. I'm telling you, these dudes are gnarly professional!! Let's hear it for Aaron and Hunter. And let's not forget 'ol Bobby at the front end of it letting me know what's going to happen and sure enough it did and beyond. I appreciate you all.”Scotty paschal

“I wish to give a great shout out to Mike/Mac, Aaron & all of their crew members - Chris, JoJo etc. Hopefully, I am not leaving anyone out. They were all excellent and went above & beyond our expectations. They minimized the amount of time that we were without power. Everything that needed to be done was thoroughly explained. Without threat, they immediately put on booties to protect my cream colored carpet. I must admit almost missing their presence in my home. I will reach out again for future jobs I have in mind.”Christine Clay & John Kauffmann
