Older wiring wasn't built for today's electrical loads, and after 60 or 80 years its insulation can crack and crumble. We rewire older homes around Yardley room by room or all at once, fishing new cable through existing walls so you're not left with a gutted house.

Outlets or switch plates feel warm
Your insurer won't cover the house until the wiring is replaced
You're remodeling and the walls are already open
How We Rewire a House
We start with a walkthrough to map what's in the walls and what you want the finished house to have: more outlets, dedicated kitchen circuits, grounded receptacles, better lighting. Then we plan cable routes through attics, basements and existing wall cavities. Most rewires need only small, neat access holes rather than open walls, and we can arrange drywall and plaster patching when we're done.
​
New wiring is grounded throughout and gets arc-fault and ground-fault protection where current code requires it. We usually rewire one area at a time, so you keep power in the rest of the house while we work. Many rewires include a panel upgrade, since an old fuse box or undersized panel can't support the new circuits.
Partial Rewiring
Not every house needs a full rewire. If the problem is a few ungrounded circuits, ground wire installation may be enough. If your house was built in the late 1960s or early 1970s, check whether it has aluminum branch wiring; our aluminum wiring page covers that separately.
What Affects the Cost
Square footage, number of stories, plaster versus drywall, attic and basement access, and how many circuits and outlets you want all shape the price. We give you a written estimate by room or area, so you can phase the work if that fits your budget better.
Living in the House During a Rewire
We plan the work so the kitchen, a bathroom and bedrooms stay usable each night. Furniture gets moved away from the walls we're working on and covered, and we clean up dust at the end of each day. You'll always know which rooms we're in next.
Upgrades Without a Full Rewire
Not every older house needs new wiring throughout. Often the right answer is a set of targeted upgrades: grounded three-prong outlets, a few new circuits for the kitchen and home office, USB and GFCI outlets where they're needed, and better lighting. We'll tell you honestly whether your wiring can be updated in place or needs replacing.
Grounding Ungrounded Outlets
Two-prong outlets, or three-prong outlets with no ground behind them, are common in homes built before the 1960s. We run new ground wires where we can, add GFCI protection where code allows it instead, and check the grounding electrode and the bonding of water and gas pipes. Good grounding is also what lets surge protection and sensitive electronics work as designed.
Rewiring Around Yardley
We rewire historic homes in Doylestown and New Hope, and older twins and singles in Quakertown and Morrisville, where knob-and-tube and early cloth-insulated cable are still common.

Homes wired with single-strand aluminum in the 1960s and 70s can overheat at outlets and switches. We make every connection safe with approved copper pigtail connectors, or replace the aluminum wiring entirely.

Replace an outdated or overloaded electrical panel with a modern 200-amp service. We handle the permit, the PECO disconnect and reconnect, the inspection, and label every circuit when we're done.
Electrical Subpanel Installation
Add circuits where you need them with a subpanel for a garage, basement, addition or workshop. We check your service capacity first, size the feeder properly and handle the permit and inspection.
