Process

How we replace the wiring

Trace the affected circuits

Discuss the scope and estimate

We explain the proposed circuit work and provide a free estimate before it begins.

Install replacement wiring

We replace the wiring covered by the agreed scope and make the required circuit connections.

Test the new circuits

We test the replacement wiring and check its operation after installation.

Choosing the right wiring work

Scope around concealed wiring

The replacement plan accounts for circuit routes and access. You'll know which areas we need to reach before work begins.

A different electrical fault

Full rewiring isn't automatically the right job for a dead outlet or a tripped breaker. We troubleshoot the fault and discuss the work it needs.

Work around your property

Occupied homes and businesses have different access needs. We'll discuss the affected rooms and circuits with you before the work begins.

How we identify old wiring

Porcelain tubes: Porcelain tubes protect conductors where they pass through framing. We look for them as a clue during an assessment.
Cloth insulation: Cloth insulation covers some older conductors. We check its condition where the wiring is accessible.
Open conductors: Open conductors run separately rather than together inside a modern cable. We trace accessible conductors to establish their circuit connections.

Questions about old wiring and replacement

How can I tell if my house has knob-and-tube wiring?

Porcelain knobs can be a sign of knob-and-tube wiring, but Electrician Pittsburgh checks the circuit to identify it. Visible wiring doesn't reveal every connection, and some older wiring may no longer be in use. Tell us where you've seen it, and we'll assess the accessible areas.

What should I tell you before the visit for Knob-and-Tube Wiring Replacement?

Details about the wiring's location and any electrical symptoms help us prepare for the visit. Tell us about affected outlets or fixtures and any work planned in those rooms. You can also point out accessible areas, but don't open walls or touch exposed wiring to gather information.

When does an old wiring concern become urgent?

A burning smell, buzzing panel or repeated breaker trips can signal an electrical fire risk. Keep away from the affected equipment and avoid using it. Tell us what you've noticed and where it occurred. We'll assess the fault and discuss the wiring work needed for your property.

Which part of the job changes the wiring quote?

The circuit scope and access to concealed wiring change the quote for replacement. A circuit that runs through finished spaces can require a different work plan from an accessible circuit. We'll discuss the areas involved and the proposed work with you. Request a quote for the scope at your property.

Why might a dead outlet need a different repair?

A dead outlet can have a fault that doesn't require replacing every older circuit. We troubleshoot the outlet and its circuit before discussing the work. If the circuit includes old wiring, we'll explain what we find and whether replacement belongs in the proposed scope. You can then decide how to proceed.

Can you address a breaker fault along with old wiring?

Yes, we handle breaker replacement as well as rewiring when the work calls for both. The cause of a breaker fault needs an assessment before we set the scope. Tell us which breaker is affected and what you've noticed. We'll discuss the repair and wiring work with you.
