Wiring/Rewiring In Cartersville, GA

Wiring is out of sight, so it is easy to forget. But insulation dries out, connections loosen and older systems were never designed for today’s loads. Homes built before the 1970s may still have knob-and-tube wiring, ungrounded circuits or aluminum branch wiring.

We rewire homes room by room or all at once, add circuits for kitchens, shops and additions, and correct wiring that does not meet code. We plan routes to minimize wall openings and coordinate patching so the house stays livable throughout.

Types & Specs

Wiring/Rewiring Types

New Construction & Addition Wiring

New-Build Wiring

Installing a complete electrical system from scratch in a new home or building, running fresh cables through open studs and framing before drywall goes up.

Dedicated Circuit Installation

Running high-capacity, single-purpose lines for heavy-draw appliances like HVAC units, electric ranges, washers/dryers, or EV Chargers.

Sub-Panel & Outbuilding Wiring

Adding secondary breaker panels or running feeder lines to detached garages, workshops, sheds, or outdoor spaces.

Whole-House vs. Partial Rewiring

Full-House Rewire

Replacing all legacy branch-circuit wiring throughout a home, upgrading the main electrical panel/consumer unit, modernizing grounding systems, and adding grounded outlets.

Partial Rewire

Updating only specific high-risk or remodeled areas—such as replacing old wiring strictly in the kitchen, bathroom, or a basement finish during a targeted renovation.

Outdated Material Replacement

Swapping out hazardous or obsolete electrical types—such as knob-and-tube or cloth-insulated wiring—with modern copper NM-B / Romex cable.

Upgrades & Component Replacements

Electrical Panel / Service Upgrade

Replacing an overloaded or undersized main breaker panel (e.g., upgrading from 100-amp to 200-amp service).

Safety Device Integration

Adding AFCI (Arc-Fault Circuit Interrupter) breakers to prevent fires or GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter) outlets in wet or outdoor zones to prevent shocks.

Fixture, Switch & Outlet Updates

Replacing worn switches, adding modern USB-equipped outlets, or installing recessed lighting and exterior floodlights.

Do you need a full rewire?

Not always. Many homes only need specific circuits replaced or a few problem areas corrected. We will tell you honestly whether a partial rewire, targeted repairs or a full replacement makes the most sense for your home and your budget.

FAQ

Wiring/Rewiring: Common Questions

How much does it cost to rewire a house?

Whole-house rewiring is usually priced per square foot, and the typical range is shown in the price guide above. The final price depends on scope, including access, the number of circuits, the panel and the amount of patching.

Can I live in my house during a rewire?

Usually yes. We work in phases and restore power to occupied areas at the end of each day whenever possible.

Is knob-and-tube wiring dangerous?

Its insulation degrades with age, it has no ground, and it is often buried in attic insulation, which it was never designed for. Many insurers will not cover it, and we recommend replacing it.

What about aluminum wiring?

Aluminum branch wiring can be made safer with listed connectors at every termination, or replaced. We will explain both options.

Do you wire additions and remodels?

Yes. We work with homeowners and general contractors on remodels, additions and basements.

How can I tell what kind of wiring my house has?

The age of the home is the first clue. Wiring visible in an attic, basement or crawlspace may show cloth-covered cable, knob-and-tube porcelain insulators, or cable jackets marked AL for aluminum, and two-prong outlets throughout often point to circuits without a ground. An inspection confirms what is behind the walls.
