Home Rewiring in Port St. Lucie, FL
Some homes need more than a repair — they need new wiring. Homes built in the 1960s–70s with aluminum branch wiring, cloth-insulated or knob-and-tube wiring, and homes where decades of DIY additions created hazards all benefit from professional rewiring. We do partial and whole-house rewiring across Port St. Lucie, Fort Pierce, Stuart, Jensen Beach, Palm City — permitted, inspected, up to current code. Florida Electrical License #ER13016161.
Not sure where your home stands? An electrical safety inspection gives you a clear, honest picture.
Signs Your Home Needs Rewiring
- Aluminum branch wiring — common in 1965–1975 homes. Connections loosen over time, a leading cause of electrical fires, and insurers often flag or surcharge it.
- Frequent breaker trips — your system can’t handle modern electrical loads.
- Discolored outlets or burning smells — signs of heat damage behind devices.
- Two-prong outlets throughout — no equipment ground for today’s electronics and appliances.
- Cloth-insulated or knob-and-tube wiring — degraded insulation that was never designed for modern loads.
- Tingling when touching appliances — stray voltage or a grounding failure. Get this investigated immediately.
Partial vs. Whole-House Rewiring
Not every home needs a full rewire. When problems are isolated to one area or a few circuits, targeted circuit rewiring may be all that’s needed. A whole-house rewire replaces all branch wiring and devices — and often the panel, too (see our electrical panel upgrade services). Either way, we recommend the minimum work that makes your home safe — nothing more.
Our Rewiring Process
- Full assessment — we map your circuits, identify wiring types, and document every hazard.
- Clear plan and upfront price — you approve the scope before any work begins.
- Phased work — we rewire in sections to keep disruption manageable. Most families stay in the home.
- Permit and inspection — all work is permitted and inspected to the current Florida Building Code.
- Patch-ready finish — we minimize drywall cuts so repairs are quick and clean.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a whole-house rewire take?
Typically several days to two weeks, depending on the size of the home and access to wiring. You’ll get a firm timeline upfront before we start.
Can we live in the home during rewiring?
Usually, yes. We work in phases and keep essential circuits live, so most families stay in the home throughout the project.
Will rewiring lower my insurance?
Many insurers surcharge or decline homes with aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring. A documented, permitted rewire often helps — ask your agent how it affects your policy.
Do you have to tear out all the drywall?
No. We fish wires through walls and attics, making only small, repairable cuts where necessary.
