Common Home Rewiring Scenarios

With over five decades of electrical experience serving Aberdeen, our licensed electricians have successfully rewired every type of older home. From dangerous aluminum wiring to obsolete knob-and-tube systems, we provide complete electrical replacements that ensure safety and adequate capacity. When your home needs rewiring, call (410) 879-1485.

Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s often contain aluminum wiring that poses serious fire risks due to aluminum’s tendency to oxidize at connections, creating heat and potential ignition points that have caused numerous house fires. Insurance companies increasingly refuse coverage or charge higher premiums for homes with aluminum wiring. Our licensed electricians completely replace aluminum wiring with modern copper wiring throughout your home, eliminating fire hazards, restoring insurance eligibility, and providing safe electrical systems that protect your Aberdeen family and property.

Many Aberdeen homes built before 1950 still contain original knob-and-tube wiring that lacks grounding, uses deteriorating insulation, cannot safely handle modern electrical loads, and presents serious fire risks, with insurance companies often refusing coverage for homes with this obsolete wiring type. Knob-and-tube wiring must be completely replaced. Benfield Electric specializes in rewiring historic homes, carefully removing knob-and-tube systems and installing modern grounded electrical wiring that preserves your home’s character while providing safe, code-compliant electrical service throughout your Aberdeen property.

Older homes with undersized electrical systems lack adequate circuits and capacity for modern appliances, electronics, HVAC systems, and electrical demands, requiring complete rewiring combined with panel upgrades to provide sufficient electrical service. Inadequate capacity causes constant breaker trips and prevents adding modern amenities. Our experienced electricians design and install complete electrical system upgrades that provide adequate capacity, sufficient circuits, and modern safety features, transforming your Aberdeen home’s outdated electrical infrastructure into a reliable system supporting contemporary electrical needs.

Why Aberdeen Homeowners Trust Benfield Electric for Home Rewiring

Since 1968, Benfield Electric has been Aberdeen‘s trusted choice for major electrical projects. Our licensed and certified electricians bring over five decades of electrical experience to every home rewiring project. We handle all permits and inspections, minimize disruption to your daily life, and deliver code-compliant electrical systems. With flat-rate, upfront pricing and fully insured service, we make home rewiring manageable. When your home needs complete electrical system replacement, trust Benfield Electric’s proven expertise.

How do I know if my home needs rewiring?

Signs include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, two-prong ungrounded outlets throughout, visible old wiring like knob-and-tube or cloth-wrapped wiring, aluminum wiring, burning smells, or a home more than 40 years old that has never been rewired. Insurance companies and home inspectors often flag these conditions. Benfield Electric provides comprehensive electrical assessments that determine whether your Aberdeen home needs rewiring, identifying safety hazards and inadequate capacity that require electrical system replacement.

How much does whole house rewiring cost?

Home rewiring costs vary significantly based on home size, accessibility of existing wiring, extent of work required, necessary panel upgrades, and whether walls need opening, but rewiring is a major investment that protects your family and home value. Benfield Electric provides detailed, flat-rate upfront pricing after assessing your specific home and rewiring needs, including all labor, materials, permits, and inspection coordination, so you understand the complete investment before your Aberdeen home rewiring project begins.

How long does home rewiring take?

Complete home rewiring typically takes one to two weeks for most homes, though larger properties or complex situations may require more time, with work scheduled to minimize disruption to your daily life. Our efficient electricians work systematically through your home while you continue living there when possible. We provide realistic timelines during consultation and coordinate all aspects of your rewiring project to complete your Aberdeen home’s electrical system upgrade as quickly as possible while maintaining quality and safety.

Will rewiring damage my walls and require repairs?

Modern rewiring techniques minimize wall damage through strategic access points, fishing wires through existing spaces, and careful repair of necessary openings, though some wall patching is typically unavoidable for complete rewiring projects. We work carefully to limit disruption and can coordinate with contractors for repairs. Benfield Electric uses the least invasive methods possible for your rewiring project while ensuring complete electrical system replacement, and we repair any necessary openings to match your Aberdeen home’s existing finishes.
