Overview

Professional Electrical Wiring & Rewiring in Lawrenceville, GA

Wiring problems tend to hide behind walls, which is exactly why they get ignored until they can't be. Whether it's a single damaged run feeding one room or an entire house full of wiring that was never sized for modern life — think window units, computers, and everything else we plug in now — we'll walk the property, tell you what we're actually seeing, and give you options instead of a one-size-fits-all fix.

Wiring problems we address

  • Aluminum branch wiring (common 1965–1975) — expands and loosens at connections, a documented fire hazard
  • Knob-and-tube wiring — ungrounded, no longer safe under insulation, and often a barrier to home insurance
  • Cloth-insulated wiring — insulation dries out and crumbles, exposing conductors
  • Ungrounded (two-wire) circuits and two-prong outlets throughout the house
  • Undersized wiring feeding modern loads — space heaters, window units, kitchens
  • DIY splices outside junction boxes, wire nuts in walls, and backstabbed connections failing under load
  • Rodent-damaged wiring in attics and crawlspaces
  • Circuits that were extended so many times the voltage drops at the far end

Whole-house rewiring vs. partial rewiring

A full rewire replaces every branch circuit and usually pairs with a new panel. It's warranted for knob-and-tube, widespread deteriorated insulation, or a home being taken down to the studs anyway. A partial rewire targets the worst circuits — kitchen, baths, bedrooms, or a specific area — and is often the right call for a home that's mostly sound. We assess and tell you honestly which you need.

Aluminum wiring remediation

If your home has aluminum branch circuits, a full rewire isn't the only option. We remediate connections with approved methods — AlumiConn or COPALUM connectors at every device and junction — which many insurers accept as a permanent fix at a fraction of rewire cost.

How we keep the disruption down

We fish wiring through attics, basements, crawlspaces and interior wall cavities to reach most locations without opening long channels in the drywall. Where access holes are unavoidable, we keep them small and located for easy patching, and we walk you through the plan before we start.

What affects rewiring cost

  • Home size and number of circuits
  • One or two stories, slab vs. crawlspace vs. basement, and attic access
  • Finished vs. unfinished walls and ceilings
  • Whether the panel and service are being upgraded at the same time
  • Fixture, outlet and switch counts, and any added circuits
  • Permit and inspection fees

Copper vs. aluminum wiring in older homes

Lawrenceville homes built in the late 1960s through mid-1970s may have aluminum branch wiring. Aluminum isn't inherently dangerous, but it expands and contracts more than copper with each heating cycle, which loosens connections over time. Loose connections arc, and arcing starts fires. The fix isn't necessarily a full rewire — in many cases, we can remediate aluminum wiring with approved copper-to-aluminum connectors (COPALUM or AlumiConn) at every termination point: outlets, switches, fixtures and the panel. It's less disruptive and less expensive than a rewire, and it brings the risk down to the same level as copper.

What modern electrical code requires for new wiring

If you're adding circuits or rewiring any part of your Lawrenceville home, current code applies to the new work. That means AFCI protection on bedroom circuits, GFCI protection in wet locations, tamper-resistant receptacles throughout, and 12-gauge minimum on 20-amp kitchen and bathroom circuits. We wire to the current NEC as adopted by Georgia, and we pull the permit so the county inspector signs off on it. Code compliance isn't red tape — it's the baseline that keeps your wiring insurable and your family safe.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my house needs to be rewired?

The clearest signs are frequent breaker trips under normal load, outlets that spark or feel warm, a burning smell you can’t trace, and two-prong (ungrounded) outlets throughout the house. If your home was built before 1975 and still has the original wiring, an inspection will tell you definitively. Homes with knob-and-tube, cloth-insulated or aluminum branch wiring are the highest-priority candidates.

Do you have to tear out all my drywall to rewire?

No. We route new wiring through the attic, crawlspace and interior wall cavities wherever possible, using targeted access holes rather than stripping walls. A typical ranch with attic and crawlspace access needs relatively few drywall cuts. A two-storey with finished walls on every floor requires more, but we plan the route to minimise them. We patch and prime every opening we make.

Is aluminum wiring something I have to replace entirely?

Not necessarily. Aluminum wiring itself isn’t dangerous — it’s the connections that fail. Approved remediation methods (COPALUM crimps or AlumiConn connectors) make every aluminum-to-device connection as safe as copper. Full replacement is an option but costs significantly more. We assess the wiring condition and recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your home’s specific situation.

Can you rewire one room or just the kitchen?

Yes. A targeted rewire is common during a renovation — you’re opening the walls anyway, so it’s the cheapest time to replace the wiring in that room. We run new copper circuits from the panel to the room, install code-compliant outlets (GFCI/AFCI where required) and a properly sized breaker. The rest of the house stays untouched unless you want to phase the work over time.

Need Wiring or Rewiring?

Old aluminum, cloth or knob-and-tube replaced with modern copper, grounded and permitted.
