ELECTRICAL SERVICE

Whole-Home Rewiring in Austin, TX

If your home still has decades-old wiring, cloth insulation, knob-and-tube, or constant electrical headaches, rewiring is the permanent fix. Whole-home rewiring replaces aging, unsafe wiring with modern, code-compliant circuits, giving you safety, capacity, and peace of mind for decades. AC Electric has rewired Central Texas homes since 1984, and we do it with the care, planning, and minimal disruption that a job this important deserves.

How AC Electric approaches a rewire

A rewire is a big project, so planning and tidiness matter. We map out the circuits, plan our access points to limit wall damage, and stage the work so your home stays livable. We pull the permits, install modern wiring, grounded outlets, and the right protection (GFCI and AFCI where required), and we coordinate inspection. Where we have to open walls, we do it thoughtfully and clean up after ourselves.

DO YOU NEED REWIRING?

Signs your home may need rewiring

The home is several decades old and has never been rewired.
You have cloth-insulated wiring, knob-and-tube, or old ungrounded two-prong outlets.
Breakers trip constantly, or you blow fuses regularly.
Outlets or switches are warm, discolored, or spark.
Lights flicker or dim throughout the house.
You smell a faint burning odor, or you have had small electrical fires or scares.
You are doing a major remodel and it makes sense to update the wiring while walls are open.

EXAMPLE

Not every old home needs a full rewire. Sometimes targeted repairs or a panel upgrade are enough. We will give you an honest assessment, not a scare tactic.

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to rewire a house in Austin?

It depends on the size of the home, the number of circuits, and access, so we provide a free written estimate after evaluating your home. We will also tell you if a full rewire is not actually necessary.

Do I have to move out during a rewire?

Usually not. We stage the work to keep your home livable, though some rooms will be without power as we work through them.

Will rewiring damage my walls?

We minimize wall openings by planning our access carefully, and we patch where needed. A remodel is the ideal time to rewire because walls are already open.

Is knob-and-tube or cloth wiring dangerous?

It can be, especially when it is brittle, modified, or ungrounded, and many insurers will not cover it. We will evaluate yours and recommend the safest path.
