Safe Full Home Rewiring Done Right

At Franks Innovative Electric Inc., we provide full home rewiring for homeowners who need to replace old, unsafe, or overloaded electrical wiring. If your home has aging electrical systems, two-prong outlets, aluminum wiring, ungrounded circuits, frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, or not enough power for today’s appliances, a full rewire is often the safest long-term solution. Our goal is simple: give your home safer power, better performance, and wiring that meets current electrical code.

A full home rewire is one of the most important electrical upgrades you can make. Older homes were not built for modern electrical demand. Today, most families use more devices, larger kitchen appliances, HVAC systems, home office equipment, entertainment systems, and EV chargers than older wiring was ever designed to handle. Rewiring helps reduce fire risk, improves reliability, supports grounded outlets, and prepares your home for future upgrades.

When a full rewire may be the right choice

We usually recommend a full home rewiring service when a house shows clear signs of electrical wear, outdated materials, or safety concerns. Common reasons to consider rewiring include:

• Old or brittle wiring insulation
• Knob-and-tube wiring or other outdated wiring methods
• Aluminum branch wiring
• Ungrounded outlets or two-prong receptacles
• Burning smells, buzzing, or warm outlets and switches
• Lights that flicker or dim when appliances turn on
• Breakers that trip often or fuses that blow repeatedly
• Not enough circuits for your current electrical load
• Renovations, additions, or major remodeling projects
• Preparing the home for a panel upgrade, EV charger, or dedicated circuits

If you are not sure whether you need spot repairs or a complete rewire, we can inspect the system and give you honest guidance. We focus on real solutions, not unnecessary upsells.

What is included in full home rewiring

Every home is different, but a typical full rewire involves replacing old branch wiring throughout the house and upgrading key parts of the electrical system so everything works together safely. Depending on the home, scope may include:

• Replacement of old electrical wiring with new code-compliant wiring
• New grounded circuits for general lighting and receptacles
• Rewiring for kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, garages, and outdoor areas
• Replacement or relocation of outlets, switches, and fixtures as needed
• Installation of GFCI and AFCI protection where required
• Dedicated circuits for appliances and specialty equipment
• Grounding and bonding improvements
• Electrical service and panel coordination if needed
• Permit handling and code compliance work
• Final testing, walkthrough, and inspection coordination

We build the work around your home’s layout, the age of the structure, access in walls and attic spaces, and your current and future power needs. Our team has 20 years of combined experience, and we bring the same clean, careful workmanship to rewiring projects that we bring to panel upgrades and larger residential electrical jobs across Riverside and the Inland Empire.

Our rewiring process

We believe homeowners should know exactly what to expect. Full rewiring is a major project, so we take time to explain the scope clearly and keep the work organized from start to finish.

1. Initial evaluation: We inspect the existing wiring, panel, circuits, outlets, switches, and visible electrical conditions. We look for safety issues, outdated materials, load concerns, and practical access points.
2. Project planning: We map out what needs to be replaced, which circuits should be added, and whether related upgrades are needed for the panel or service equipment.
3. Detailed quote: We provide a clear proposal based on the condition of the home and the amount of work required.
4. Permits and code requirements: If permits are required, we handle that process and complete the work to local code standards.
5. Rewiring work: We remove or abandon outdated wiring as appropriate, run new wiring, update devices, and organize circuits for better safety and performance.
6. Testing and inspection: We test the system, verify function, and coordinate inspection as needed.
7. Final walkthrough: We review the completed work with you so you know what was done and how your upgraded electrical system is set up.

We are known for high-quality, clean, and professional electrical work. That matters on a full rewire because details matter. Clean routing, proper labeling, safe terminations, and code-correct installation all help protect your home for years to come. City inspectors have repeatedly praised our work, and at least two inspectors have trusted us to work on their own properties.

Why homeowners choose full rewiring instead of repeated repairs

In some homes, patching one problem after another ends up costing more over time. A full rewire addresses the bigger issue instead of chasing symptoms. Homeowners often choose this service because it can:

• Improve overall electrical safety
• Reduce the chance of overheating and fire hazards
• Provide grounded, reliable power throughout the home
• Support modern appliances and electronics
• Help pass inspections during remodeling or sale preparation
• Increase confidence in the home’s electrical system
• Make future upgrades easier, including panel upgrades and EV charging

If you plan to stay in your home for years, rewiring is often a smart investment in safety, performance, and peace of mind.

Homes that benefit most from rewiring

We often perform this service in older homes in Riverside and surrounding Inland Empire cities where the original electrical system no longer matches current demand. This includes houses with outdated panels, limited outlets, old wiring types, or years of unpermitted changes. We also help homeowners during major remodels when walls or ceilings are already open, which can make access easier and allow for a more complete electrical upgrade.

Whether your goal is safety, code compliance, better function, or preparing for a renovation, we tailor the rewiring plan to fit the home and your priorities.

What to expect during the project

Full home rewiring can vary in complexity based on the size of the house, accessibility, and whether the property is occupied during work. Some rewires can be completed in phases, while others are best handled as a larger coordinated project. We will explain the expected timeline, how access will work, and what areas of the home will be affected. Our team works hard to keep the job site as clean and organized as possible and to minimize disruption where we can.

Because every house is different, exact methods and timing depend on construction type, existing electrical conditions, and the scope of the upgrade. We will walk you through the practical details before work begins so there are no surprises.
