Wiring does not last forever. Insulation becomes brittle, connections loosen and older systems were never designed for modern electrical loads. Home Run plans and completes whole-home rewiring for older houses in Covington, Madison, Macon and nearby Georgia communities.
When Rewiring Is Worth Considering
- Knob-and-tube or cloth-insulated wiring is still in use
- Most outlets are two-prong and ungrounded
- Aluminum branch wiring, common in some homes from the 1960s and 1970s, is present
- Frequent flickering, tripping or warm outlets appear in several rooms
- You are planning a major renovation and walls or ceilings will already be opened
- An insurer or home inspector has raised concerns about the wiring
Our Rewiring Process
Rewiring starts with an inspection of the existing system and a circuit-by-circuit plan. We map out where new wiring will run, how many circuits each area needs, and whether the panel should be replaced at the same time.
Wherever possible we route new wiring through attics, crawl spaces and existing cavities to limit wall openings. We tell you in advance where access openings are needed and how they will be handled. Work is completed with required permits and inspections, and every circuit is tested and labeled.
Protecting Older and Historic Homes
Homes with plaster walls, original trim and historic details need extra care. We plan routes that respect the character of the house, which matters in historic areas such as downtown Madison and Macon’s older neighborhoods.
Rewiring FAQs
Can we stay in the house during rewiring?
In many cases, yes. Work can often be done in sections so that most of the house has power at the end of each day. We will discuss the schedule with you before starting.
Is partial rewiring an option?
Sometimes. If only part of the house has outdated wiring, rewiring those circuits may be enough. An electrical safety inspection helps decide.
