Whole house rewiring in San Luis Obispo, CA

Rewiring is the least glamorous and most consequential electrical work there is. In older San Luis Obispo neighborhoods we still find knob and tube, cloth-insulated conductors and ungrounded two-prong outlets carrying loads nobody imagined in 1948. A rewire replaces the wiring itself rather than patching around it.

Recent San Luis Obispo feedback

We rewired in stages so we could keep living here. They planned the access holes where the patcher could actually fix them, which I did not expect.

Ellen and Ray M.San Luis Obispo, CA

Panel had no room left and we wanted an EV charger. Got a straight answer, a flat number, and the whole thing done in a day. The new labels alone were worth it.

Marisol R.San Luis Obispo, CA

Smart switches finally work because they pulled neutrals into the boxes. Two other installers had told me it was not possible.

Whole House Rewiring in San Luis Obispo — questions we get asked

How do I know if I have knob and tube wiring?

Look in the attic or basement for individual wires running through white ceramic knobs and tubes. Two-prong outlets throughout and a fuse box are strong supporting signs.

How much does it cost to rewire a house in San Luis Obispo?

Whole-home rewires in San Luis Obispo are priced by square footage, circuit count and access — a single-story home with an accessible attic and crawlspace costs far less than a two-story plaster home. We walk it, then give one firm number.

Will you patch the drywall?

We cut planned, patch-ready access and coordinate closely with your patcher or painter. Ask and we will quote the rewire with patching included.

Do I have to move out during a rewire?

Usually not. We work in phases and keep power on to the areas you are using. Larger San Luis Obispo County projects sometimes have a day or two where it is easier to be elsewhere.

Is aluminum wiring dangerous?

Aluminum branch wiring from the 1960s and 70s is not inherently unusable, but its connections loosen and overheat over time. Remediation with listed connectors or replacement resolves it.
