Whole-Home Rewiring in Montgomery County

If your home was built before 1985, there is a significant chance your wiring is outdated, potentially unsafe, and unable to handle modern electrical demands. Homes built in the 1940s-1960s may still have knob-and-tube wiring — an ungrounded system that is a fire hazard and typically uninsurable.

Homes from the 1960s-1970s may have aluminum branch wiring, which expands and contracts differently than copper, causing loose connections that overheat and arc. Even homes from the 1980s may have undersized copper wiring or insufficient circuits for today's electrical loads.

Volt Electrical provides comprehensive whole-home rewiring services throughout Norristown, Eagleville, King of Prussia, Conshohocken, and Plymouth Meeting. We replace all outdated wiring with modern copper conductors, install grounded outlets throughout, add GFCI and AFCI protection where required by the 2020 NEC, and upgrade your panel to handle the increased capacity.

Our rewiring process is designed to minimize disruption to your daily life — we work room by room and restore your home at the end of each day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my home needs rewiring?
Your home likely needs rewiring if it was built before 1985 and has never been rewired, you have two-prong (ungrounded) outlets, your insurance company has flagged your wiring, you see cloth-wrapped or rubber-insulated wiring in your attic or basement, you experience frequent breaker trips or blown fuses, lights flicker when appliances turn on, or outlets feel warm to the touch. Homes in Norristown's older neighborhoods and Conshohocken's historic district are especially likely to need rewiring.
How long does a whole-home rewiring take?
A typical whole-home rewiring project takes 5-10 business days depending on the size of your home, the number of stories, and accessibility of walls and ceilings. A 1,500 square foot ranch home may take 5-6 days, while a 3,000 square foot colonial could take 8-10 days. We work room by room so you can continue living in your home during the project, though power to the room being worked on will be off during work hours.
Will rewiring damage my walls and ceilings?
Some drywall access is necessary to run new wiring, but modern techniques minimize damage. We use fish tapes and flexible drill bits to route wires through existing wall cavities wherever possible. Where access holes are needed, we patch and prepare them for paint. In historic homes (common in Conshohocken and Norristown), we take extra care to preserve original plaster and woodwork.
Is aluminum wiring really dangerous?
Aluminum branch circuit wiring (common in 1960s-1970s homes in Eagleville and Plymouth Meeting) is a documented fire hazard. Aluminum expands 30% more than copper when heated, causing connections to loosen over time. These loose connections generate heat, which can cause arcing and fires. The Consumer Product Safety Commission found that homes with aluminum wiring are 55 times more likely to have fire hazard conditions at outlets. Montgomery Township specifically bans aluminum conductors in buildings (except service entrance cables) for this reason.
