Benefits of Upgrading or Replacing Electrical Wiring

Over 40% of homes in the Greater Kansas City area date back to before 1980. Old electrical panels, wiring, and other components are inefficient, unreliable, and potentially unsafe. Even if an older system is in relatively good condition, it may not meet a modern household’s needs. Consider that 100-amp panels are the modern minimum and many homes need 150 amps or more. Despite this, older homes often have 40- and 60-amp panels. They also lack modern features, such as Type 2 surge protection.

Code-compliant wiring will improve electrical safety and minimize the risk of fires and other electrical hazards. Electrical wiring replacement can make your home more energy efficient and lower your monthly electrical bill. Modern wiring makes a home more convenient, functional, and valuable. It also future-proofs a home. After we upgrade your electrical system, your place will be ready for EV charging, tankless water heating, and much more.

Signs Your Home Needs Rewiring

Our experts encourage homeowners to schedule routine electrical inspections every several years. If you can’t remember your last inspection, the time to schedule is now. That’s particularly true for houses that are older than 25 years. You should also watch for signs that your house wiring in Kansas City needs professional attention.

Monitor for indications that your home may need new wiring:

• Burning or fishy smells
• Bulbs burning out frequently
• Flickering or dimming lights
• Unexplained rising electric bills
• Frequent tripped circuit breakers
• Outlets getting warm to the touch
• Electrical panel buzzing or corrosion

Our Home Wiring and Rewiring Services

Our team carries out full and partial electrical wiring replacement. We can help you selectively upgrade your electrical system. Our team also performs wiring for home additions and newly finished areas of your home, such as basements and garages.

A common concern is whether we can complete whole-home wiring projects in occupied homes. The answer is yes. While wiring installation will always be faster in an unoccupied home, we appreciate that most households don’t have that option. Our team can plan and work around your needs.

Whole-home rewiring generally includes all wiring and electrical connections, the electrical panel, and any outlets, switches, and dimmers. Your new electrical panel will have Type 2 surge protection and, optionally, we can add Type 1 protection as well. The panel will also have as many circuits as you need and the capacity to add more later. You should always leave room for the electrical needs of your household to change over time. Rewiring is also an excellent time to add devices to your system. That includes more outlets in the rooms you use most often. Consider outlets with integrated charging ports and Type 3 surge protection. You can also add lights, switches, dimmers, home automation devices, and much more.
