Can I live in the house during a rewire?

Usually yes. We work in sections and keep power on where we can. We plan the outage windows with you so daily life keeps moving.

Will this help with insurance?

Often, yes. Many insurers will not write or renew a policy on knob and tube or aluminum wiring. A documented, permitted rewire clears that flag and we provide the paperwork.

Why it does not pay to wait

Old cloth, knob-and-tube, and aluminum branch wiring gets brittle and loose with age and heat. It works right up until a connection arcs inside a wall. It is also why insurers drop or refuse to write policies. Waiting risks both the house and the coverage on it.

San Antonio has beautiful older homes, and a lot of them are still running on wiring that was old news thirty years ago. Knob and tube, cloth-covered conductors, ungrounded circuits, aluminum branch wiring. That is not a maybe-someday job. That is the reason a lot of these homes cannot get insured.

We rewire with a plan. We map the circuits, protect the finishes we can, run new grounded copper, and bring the panel and devices up to current code. When we are done, your home is safe, insurable, and ready for real modern loads.

What you can check yourself first

Before you call, here is what you can safely check on your own. Even if you still call us, you will walk in knowing more than you did.

Count your two-prong, ungrounded outlets. A lot of them points to older wiring.
Look in the attic or the panel for cloth-covered or brittle wiring.
Check whether your home still runs on a fuse box instead of breakers.
Ask your insurer if your wiring is flagged. Knob-and-tube and aluminum branch wiring often are.
