Rewiring
Kitchen Rewire and Siemens 200-Amp Panel
Mordecai, Raleigh, NC
We rewired this kitchen in Mordecai, Raleigh during its remodel and replaced a panel that lacked space for the new circuits with a Siemens 200-amp panel. The homeowner now has outlets where code requires and the new layout needs, with Siemens arc-fault breakers installed on request.
Rewiring
Workshop 30-Amp Circuit, Outlets and Lighting
Oakwood, Raleigh, NC
This Oakwood, Raleigh workshop had only a panel and a few outlets, with no switched lights. Under permit, we added a 30-amp circuit in 10-gauge Romex for heavy tools, two 20-amp 120-volt outlets and lighting on 14-gauge Romex, so the shop now has switched light and dedicated tool power.
Service Options
Optional Add-Ons for Whole House Rewiring
These add-ons are commonly recommended during whole-house rewiring work in Raleigh, NC based on conditions found during the onsite evaluation.
200A Panel Upgrade
Pair the rewire with a new 200A panel for a completely modern system — one permit, one project.
Structured Low-Voltage Wiring

Electrical Standards
Whole House Rewiring NEC Code Requirements
Every rewiring project must comply with the National Electrical Code governing conductor sizing, arc-fault protection, grounding, and box fill.
NEC 240.4
1. Conductor Sizing and Protection
Every new circuit uses copper conductors matched to its breaker — 14 AWG on 15A, 12 AWG on 20A. Mismatched pairs are a fire risk the rewire eliminates.
NEC Ref: 240.4
Conductors shall be protected against overcurrent in accordance with their ampacities.
NEC 210.12
2. Arc-Fault Protection
Most habitable rooms now require AFCI protection — breakers that detect arcing from damaged wiring and shut off before ignition.
NEC Ref: 210.12
AFCI protection required for 120V branch circuits supplying most dwelling areas.
NEC 210.8
3. Grounding and GFCI
All new receptacles are grounded; kitchens, baths, laundry, garages, and outdoor outlets get GFCI protection.
NEC Ref: 210.8
GFCI protection for personnel required in specified dwelling locations.
NEC 314.16
4. Box Fill and Splices
Every splice lives in an accessible, properly sized junction box — no buried connections, a common violation in old DIY wiring.
NEC Ref: 314.16
Boxes shall be of sufficient size to provide free space for all enclosed conductors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions
Common questions from Raleigh homeowners about whole-house rewiring service.
Still have questions?
Our Raleigh electrical experts are here to help you every step of the way.
Real People. Real Answers.
We're here when you need us.
How much does whole-house rewiring cost in Raleigh, NC?
Most full rewires run $12,000–$20,000 depending on home size, wiring access, and whether a panel upgrade is included. Partial rewires and phased plans are quoted by scope after the onsite evaluation.
Do I have to move out during a rewire?
Usually not. We work room by room in phases, keeping power on in the rest of the house and cleaning up daily. Most families stay home for the entire project.
How long does a whole-house rewire take?
Typically 3–7 working days for an average home, plus inspection scheduling. Larger homes or slab foundations with limited access take longer.
Will you damage my walls?
We route through attics, crawlspaces, and closets first, and keep wall openings small and strategic. Rough patching is included; finish drywall and paint are a separate trade.
Does my 1960s home really need rewiring?
Not automatically — an evaluation tells you. Aluminum branch wiring, cloth insulation, ungrounded outlets, and chronic breaker trips are the signals that it does.
Will rewiring satisfy my insurance company?
Yes. The work is permitted, inspected, and documented — we provide the paperwork insurers ask for, and it typically resolves aluminum or knob-and-tube exclusions.
