Knob & Tube Removal
Legacy circuits de-energized and removed, with new home runs landed on a properly sized panel.
Whole-Home Rewiring
Whole-home rewiring for older homes in Salt Lake City
Knob-and-tube, cloth-insulated and aluminum branch circuits replaced with modern copper, routed through existing framing wherever access allows so the drywall repair stays small.
Licensed & insured
Utah licensed electrical contractor with Master-level scoping on every project.
Diagnostics first
We test and prove the fault before anything gets replaced, so you pay for the fix.
Scheduled around you
Clear arrival windows Monday through Friday, 8 to 5, and a crew that cleans up.
Permits handled
Permits, utility coordination and inspection sign-off taken care of for you.
Whole-Home Rewiring
Rewiring without gutting the house
Avenues bungalows, Sugar House and Bountiful post-war homes, and Park City cabins. Old wiring comes out, new circuits go in, and the plaster stays mostly where it is.
Aluminum Branch Remediation
COPALUM-style pigtailing or full replacement of 1960s and 70s aluminum branch wiring at every device.
Circuit Separation
Dedicated kitchen, laundry, bath and appliance circuits so one hair dryer no longer takes out half the floor.
Grounded Outlets
Three-prong receptacles that are actually grounded, plus AFCI and GFCI protection where code requires it.
Phased Occupied Rewires
Room-by-room or floor-by-floor phasing so you keep heat, refrigeration and internet the whole time.
Permits & Insurance Docs
Permitted, inspected and documented, which matters for insurance carriers that flag knob-and-tube.
How a rewire runs
The variable in a rewire is access, not wire. We map attic, basement, closet and chase routes first, because that determines both cost and how much patching you will pay for later.
- 1Access and condition survey
We open a few strategic spots, trace what is live, and identify which circuits are original and which were added later.
- 2Scope and phasing plan
You get a room-by-room plan, a fixed number, and a schedule that keeps critical circuits energized.
- 3Rough-in
New home runs pulled, boxes set, old conductors removed or abandoned safely, inspection at rough.
- 4Trim and closeout
Devices, plates, panel labeling, final inspection, and a punch walk with you before we call it done.

Whole-Home Rewiring FAQs
Rewiring questions
Do I have to move out during a whole-home rewire?+
Usually not. We phase the work so heat, refrigeration and at least part of the lighting stay live. Occupied rewires take longer than empty ones, and we price them that way up front.
Is knob-and-tube wiring illegal in Utah?+
Existing knob-and-tube is not automatically illegal, but it cannot be extended, it has no ground, and it is dangerous once buried in insulation. Many insurers will not cover a home that still has it energized.
How much drywall damage should I expect?+
Less than most people fear. Attic and basement access, closet chases and fishing techniques handle most runs. We mark expected patch locations in the proposal instead of discovering them mid-job.
Can you just rewire part of the house?+
Yes. Kitchens, baths and bedrooms are the common partial scopes, especially when a remodel opens walls. We make sure the partial work leaves a coherent, code-compliant system rather than a patchwork.
Does aluminum wiring have to be replaced entirely?+
Not always. Approved connectors at every device and splice is a recognized remediation and costs far less than a full rewire. Full replacement makes sense when walls are already open or the wiring has heat damage.
