Whole-House and Partial Rewiring Near You in Orem, UT

Our Orem electricians replace worn wiring room by room or for the whole house, working through attics and basements to keep wall damage small. Worried about something you see right now? Call us for a same day check, or our 24 hour line for anything that smells hot. Facing an electrical emergency? A licensed electrician near you in Orem is one call away.
Signs your home may need rewiring
No single sign means you need a full rewire. Several together usually do.
Two-prong outlets throughout
No ground wire in most of the house is a sign of original, older wiring.
Cloth-covered or brittle wire
Old insulation can crack and expose copper when it is moved.
Lots of extension cords
Too few outlets for how you live today.
Frequent flicker and trips
Many circuits acting up, not just one.
Ungrounded or DIY additions
Past owners added wiring without permits or proper boxes.
Aluminum branch wiring
Common in late 1960s and early 70s homes. See Aluminum Wiring Repair.

How we rewire without wrecking your walls
Rewiring sounds messy. It doesn't have to be. Many Orem homes are ramblers or two-story homes with a basement and an attic, which gives us good paths for new wire.
- Fish wire through existing walls from above and below.
- Cut small, neat holes only where we must, then patch them.
- Work room by room so you keep power in the rest of the house.
- Protect floors and furniture, and clean up dust every day.
Partial rewire or whole house?
You don't always need to rewire everything. Here is how we help homeowners decide.
| Option | Good when | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Targeted repair | One circuit or room has damaged wiring | That circuit replaced and tested |
| Partial rewire | Kitchen, bath or an addition is the problem area | New circuits for the rooms that need them |
| Whole-house rewire | Most wiring is old, ungrounded or unsafe | All new branch wiring, outlets and switches |
| Rewire plus panel | The panel is also old or too small | Everything new, often with a panel upgrade |

Home rewiring questions
How do I know if my house needs rewiring?
Look for several signs together: two-prong outlets, cracked or cloth wire, frequent trips, scorched devices, or many DIY additions. An inspection gives a clear answer.
Can I live in my home during a rewire?
Usually yes. We work room by room so most of the house keeps power each day.
How long does a whole-house rewire take?
It depends on size and access. Many homes take several days of work plus inspection time.
Will you have to tear open my walls?
No. We fish wire through attics and basements and cut small holes only where needed, then patch them.
Do I need a permit to rewire?
Yes. Rewiring needs a permit and inspections in Orem. We handle both.
Should I replace my panel at the same time?
If the panel is old or too small, doing both together often saves time and money.
Wondering if your wiring is safe?
Start with an inspection. We will tell you if you need a repair, a partial rewire or a whole-house rewire.
