Whole-Home Rewiring by Licensed Orange County Electricians

If you have an older home that may have a dated and dangerous electrical wiring system, the Orange County electrical experts at Tradesman Electric can provide whole-home rewires. The term is very descriptive because that is exactly what we do: we replace the entire electrical wiring system of your home. A whole-home rewire is especially important if you have an older home with outdated or dangerous electrical wiring systems. Your electrical needs are ever-increasing as you add electric devices to the electrical load of the home. We tend to add electrical devices like large TVs, cable boxes, computers, game systems, phone and tablet chargers, smart home devices, and a wide range of kitchen and cleaning appliances. It becomes even more important to keep your electrical system up-to-date so that it can accommodate all of your new devices.

If your home is a lot older and the electrical system is still operating with knob and tube wiring, aluminum wiring installed in the 1970s or earlier, or is a two-wire system (no grounded outlets), your house could be at risk as a major electrical hazard. If any of the aforementioned items pertain to you, a whole home rewire is needed to bring your system up to current electrical safety codes. With Tradesman Electric, having a whole-home rewire means we guarantee our expert and licensed electricians will provide you with the highest level of electrical workmanship using the best quality equipment that meets the highest Orange County electrical standards.

Tradesman Electric installs all new three-prong electrical outlets as part of our whole-home rewires. New three-prong GFCI electrical outlets will be installed in all required areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor areas.

Electrical Outlet Installation & Upgrades

Outlets do have a way of getting finicky over the years. Some outlets may stop working altogether. Often the issue is that the connection between the wire and the outlet has become corroded. Often, you may see a spark or arc flash. If you hear a hissing or buzzing sound coming from your outlets, this condition needs investigation by a licensed electrician. If you notice the electrical outlets are producing heat, you may have an arcing connection behind the wall. This is also an electrical hazard. We recommend you address the issue as soon as possible. In some cases, we can resolve the arcing issue nut in other cases, the arcing behind your outlets means that your home needs a completely new wiring system. The licensed electricians at Tradesman Electric can inspect your electrical system and advise you on the safest solution

Does your home have two-prong outlets? If so, we would need to rewire your home to include a grounding system compatible with three-prong receptacles before installing new electrical outlets.

 Tradesman Electric can also install new indoor and outdoor electrical outlets. It is possible that before we can install new outlets, we may have to upgrade your electrical breaker panel. We need to ensure that your panel has the proper voltage and amperage required
