Whole House Rewiring

Signs Your Home May Need Rewiring

• Cloth covered wires or white ceramic knobs in the attic or basement
• Mostly two prong outlets with no ground
• Lights that flicker or dim often
• Outlets or switches that feel warm
• An insurance company or home inspector raised concerns about the wiring

Knob and Tube Wiring

Knob and tube was used in many homes built before the 1940s. The wires run on porcelain knobs and through porcelain tubes.

It has no ground wire. The old insulation can crack and fall off. It was also not made to be buried in insulation, which many homes now have. Most experts suggest replacing it.

Historic Home Rewiring

Historic homes in places like Ellicott City, Annapolis, and Baltimore City have plaster walls, detailed trim, and features worth saving.

Electricians who work on older homes fish new wires through existing spaces when they can. They use small openings and plan around trim, fireplaces, and old floors.

If your home is in a historic district, some outside changes may need extra approval. Ask your electrician to check before work starts.

How a Rewire Works

The electrician maps every circuit in the home. They plan new circuits for the kitchen, baths, and laundry, where power use is highest.

Most rewires are done room by room, so you can often stay in the home. Walls are patched after the wires are in. A permit and inspection are part of the job.
