What's Included in Our Wiring & Rewiring Service

Full Wiring Assessment

We inspect your entire electrical system -- wiring type, insulation condition, grounding, panel capacity, and circuit loads -- to determine the full scope of work needed.

Aluminum Wiring Replacement

We replace dangerous aluminum wiring with modern copper conductors or install COPALUM crimp connectors at every connection point to eliminate fire-hazard conditions.

Knob-and-Tube Removal

Complete removal of knob-and-tube wiring and replacement with modern NM-B Romex cable, proper junction boxes, and grounded outlets throughout your home.

Whole House Rewiring

Full replacement of all branch circuits with proper gauge copper wiring, new outlets, GFCI and AFCI protection where required, and updated grounding to current code.

New Circuit Installation

Dedicated circuits for home additions, kitchens, workshops, hot tubs, and high-draw appliances. Properly sized wiring and breakers for every application.

Permit & City Inspection

We pull all required electrical permits and coordinate the city inspection to ensure your rewiring is fully documented, code-compliant, and approved.

Signs Your Home Needs Rewiring

Your circuit breakers trip frequently. Repeated tripping indicates overloaded circuits, loose connections, or deteriorated wiring that cannot safely carry your electrical load.
Your outlets are warm, discolored, or spark when plugging in. Heat and discoloration at outlets indicate loose connections or deteriorated wiring behind the wall -- a serious fire risk that requires immediate attention.
Your home has aluminum wiring (built 1965-1973). The CPSC reports homes with aluminum wiring are 55 times more likely to have fire-hazard conditions at outlets. Aluminum expands and contracts, loosening connections over time.
You still have knob-and-tube wiring. This ungrounded wiring system from pre-1940s homes has no ground wire, deteriorating cloth insulation, and cannot safely support modern electrical loads. Most insurers refuse to cover homes with active knob-and-tube.
You smell burning near outlets or switches. A burning smell indicates arcing -- electrical current jumping across a gap in deteriorated wiring. This is an immediate fire hazard. Stop using the circuit and call an electrician.
Your home is over 40 years old and has never been rewired. Wiring insulation degrades over decades. Homes built before 1985 often lack GFCI protection, proper grounding, and sufficient circuit capacity for modern appliances.

Wiring & Rewiring FAQs

How much does it cost to rewire a house in Murrieta, CA?

Whole house rewiring in Murrieta typically costs $4 to $8 per square foot. For a 1,500 sq ft home, expect $6,000 to $12,000. A 2,500 sq ft home runs $10,000 to $20,000. These costs include new copper wiring, outlets, switches, panel connections, and permit fees. Factors like wall access, number of circuits, and panel upgrade needs affect the final price. Power Man Electric provides free detailed estimates.

Is aluminum wiring dangerous and should I replace it?

Aluminum wiring installed in homes built between 1965 and 1973 is a known fire hazard. The CPSC reports that homes with aluminum wiring are 55 times more likely to have fire-hazard conditions at outlets. The issue is that aluminum expands and contracts more than copper, loosening connections over time and creating arcing points. You have two options: full replacement with copper wiring ($395-$476 per circuit) or COPALUM crimp connectors at each connection point. Power Man Electric can inspect your aluminum wiring and recommend the safest, most cost-effective solution.

How long does it take to rewire a house?

A full house rewire typically takes 3 to 7 days for a standard 1,500-2,500 sq ft home. The timeline depends on home size, wall accessibility, number of circuits, and whether drywall needs to be opened and patched. A single-room rewire or dedicated circuit addition can be completed in 1 day. Power Man Electric provides a detailed timeline during your free consultation.

Do I need a permit to rewire my house in California?

Yes. California requires an electrical permit for any rewiring work that involves new circuits, panel modifications, or replacement of existing wiring. Permit fees in Murrieta range from $100 to $400 depending on the scope of work. All rewiring must comply with the current California Electrical Code and pass a city inspection. Power Man Electric handles all permit applications and coordinates inspections.

What are signs that my house needs rewiring?

Common signs include frequent circuit breaker trips, flickering or dimming lights, discolored or warm outlets, burning smell near outlets or switches, two-prong outlets without grounding, aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring, and a home older than 40 years that has never been rewired. If you notice any of these warning signs, contact Power Man Electric for a free safety inspection.
