Knob and tube wiring replacement in McAlister

Knob and tube wiring, found in homes built before the 1940s, has no ground and insulation that turns brittle with age. It was never meant to be buried in attic insulation or to feed modern loads. Our knob and tube wiring replacement in McAlister removes it from service and runs new grounded cable to every outlet, switch and light.

Aluminum wiring replacement in McAlister

Homes built from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s may have aluminum branch wiring, which loosens at connections and overheats. We offer full aluminum wiring replacement, or repair at every connection with connectors made for joining aluminum to copper, depending on the house and the budget.

Whole house rewiring cost in McAlister

Whole house rewiring cost comes down to square footage, wall and ceiling construction, attic and crawlspace access and how many circuits you want. Adobe, block and flat-roof homes take more labor than frame houses with an open attic. After a walkthrough we price the full electrical rewiring job, including patching where we open walls.

Whole House Rewiring FAQ for McAlister

How much does it cost to rewire a house in McAlister?

It varies widely with the size and construction of the house. Access matters most: an open attic or crawlspace makes the job faster. We walk the house and give you a written price.

Do I have to move out during rewiring?

Usually not. We work in sections and restore power to the lived-in parts of the house at the end of each day.

Do you have to tear open the walls?

We fish cable through attics, crawlspaces and wall cavities wherever possible and cut small access holes only where needed. Solid adobe and block walls sometimes call for surface raceway or channeling.

Can I rewire part of the house now and the rest later?

Yes. Many owners start with the kitchen, bathrooms and panel, then do bedrooms and living areas in a second phase.

What customers say

Our adobe had wiring from who knows when. They rewired it in stages so we could stay in the house and were careful with the plaster. Everything is grounded now.
Angela M. Whole house rewiring

They ran the circuit and set the disconnect before the spa was delivered, then came back to hook it up. Smooth from start to finish.
Tom K. Hot tub

Three outlets in the kitchen quit working and I could not figure out why. The electrician found a bad connection in about twenty minutes and showed me what had happened.
