Signs That You Need Electrical Rewiring

Several indicators suggest your property’s wiring may be outdated and require professional inspection. 

  • Frequent tripped breakers or blown fuses: Your electrical system may be overloaded and unable to handle modern power demands.
  • Flickering or dimming lights: This can signal loose connections or inadequate wiring struggling to distribute power.
  • Burning smells or scorch marks: A smell of burning plastic or discoloration around outlets and switches is a major fire hazard that requires immediate attention.
  • Buzzing or sizzling sounds: These sounds from outlets or walls can indicate electrical arcing, which is another significant fire risk.
  • Outdated wiring materials: Homes built before the 1970s may have unsafe knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, which is a significant fire risk.
  • Lack of outlets: Relying on numerous extension cords is a sign that your home lacks sufficient electrical capacity.
  • Ungrounded two-prong outlets: These outlets lack a ground wire, increasing the risk of electrical shock and leaving modern electronics unprotected.

How to Choose a Rewiring Electrician

Since rewiring is a complex and high-stakes project, choosing a qualified professional is critical.


  1. Verify licensing and insurance: Confirm that the electrician is licensed, bonded, and insured. This protects you in case of injury or property damage.
  2. Check reviews and references: Look for consistent positive feedback on services like Google, Yelp, and the Better Business Bureau. Ask the electrician for references from past rewiring jobs.
  3. Get multiple quotes: Obtain written, itemized quotes from at least three different contractors to compare pricing and project timelines.
  4. Confirm experience with similar projects: Ensure the electrician has specific experience with residential rewiring, especially if you have an older home.
  5. Discuss permits and code compliance: The electrician should be familiar with local building codes and handle the necessary permits for the project.
