Whole-House Rewire

A full home rewire — replacing aging, undersized, or unsafe wiring throughout the house — is major licensed-electrician work, always dispatched to a verified C-10 contractor. NorTech's provider runs a full electrical assessment before any wall or attic wire pulling begins, with permit and inspection handled throughout.

Whole-house rewiring across the Bay Area

Older Bay Area housing stock — knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuits, cloth-insulated wire from decades of settling and rodent exposure — is the most common driver of a full rewire. NorTech verifies an active C-10 license before dispatching this job, since it touches nearly every wall and the panel itself, and always requires a permit.

What a whole-house rewire involves

The scope starts with a full electrical assessment identifying every circuit, outlet, and fixture that needs new wire, followed by wall and attic wire pulling (often with targeted drywall access), and panel reconnection once the new circuits are in place. Because of the scope, this is typically phased and coordinated around occupancy — your provider will walk through the sequence before work starts.

Insurance and safety considerations

Some insurers decline or increase premiums for homes with knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring specifically because of documented fire risk — a full rewire can resolve both the safety concern and any insurance friction it's causing. Your electrical assessment gives you documentation useful for that insurance conversation too.

When to book whole-house rewire

Your home still has knob-and-tube or aluminum branch wiring

A home inspection flagged the wiring as a safety or insurability issue

Lights flicker, outlets feel warm, or you smell a faint burning odor near outlets

You're doing a major renovation and want the wiring brought fully up to code

Insurance has flagged or declined coverage over the home's existing wiring

90-Day Warranty

Backed by your provider’s warranty. If covered work fails, your provider makes it right — free.
