Wiring vs. Rewiring

Knowing the difference between wiring and rewiring can help you understand what type of service your home may need.

Wiring refers to installing electrical systems in a new construction or addition projects. This process involves running wires, connecting outlets, switches, and fixtures, and ensuring the home has power where you need it.

Rewiring is the process of replacing old or outdated electrical wiring with new materials. This is common in older homes where the existing wiring no longer meets modern safety standards or is insufficient to support today’s appliances and technology.

Regardless of your home’s situation, our team at Gardner Electrical is experienced in both services and can guide you through the process of equipping your home with a dependable electrical system.

When Is Whole-Home Rewiring Necessary?

Rewiring your home is a significant project, but it’s often a necessary investment to maintain a safe and reliable electrical system. Our electrical service experts urge you to monitor your home’s wiring and schedule an inspection at the first sign of malfunction. 

Warning signs you need to rewire your home include:

• Outdated wiring - If your home was built more than 30 years ago and still has aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring, it’s likely time for an upgrade.
• Frequent electrical problems - Experiencing flickering lights, frequently tripped breakers, or outlets that don’t work could signal underlying wiring issues.
• Home renovations or expansions - If you’re remodeling or adding on to your home, you’ll likely need to rewire to accommodate new spaces and appliances.
• Safety concerns - Burning smells, sparks, or scorch marks around outlets and switches are clear signs of dangerous wiring that needs immediate attention.
• Insufficient power - Older wiring systems weren’t designed to handle the electrical loads of today’s devices and appliances.

If you're unsure whether your home requires rewiring, Gardner Electrical offers professional inspections to assess your system and recommend the best course of action. In the event that rewiring isn’t necessary, we offer professional electrical repairs to restore proper function to your system. 

How Long Does It Take to Wire a Home?

The time it takes to wire or rewire a home can vary depending on the size of the property, the complexity of the project, and the condition of the existing wiring. 

Here’s a general breakdown of how long various types of wiring projects take:

• New construction wiring - Installing wiring in a new home or addition typically takes 3 to 10 days, depending on the size and layout.
• Partial rewiring - Updating specific areas of the home, such as the kitchen or bathroom, may take 1 to 3 days.
• Whole-home rewiring - Replacing all the wiring in an older home can take anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks.

At Gardner Electrical, we strive to complete every project efficiently without compromising on quality or safety. Our team provides you with a detailed timeline upfront so you know what to expect.

How Often Should My Electrical Wiring Be Inspected?

Routine inspections are an essential part of maintaining a safe and functional electrical system. We recommend having your home’s wiring inspected every 5 to 10 years, or sooner if you experience any issues.

During an inspection, our licensed electricians assess the condition of your wiring, test for potential hazards, and recommend repairs or upgrades as needed. Inspections are especially crucial if your home is older, you’re planning a renovation, or you notice warning signs like frequent breaker trips or buzzing sounds from outlets.
