About this service
Electrical wire is the backbone of your home’s power, carrying electricity from the panel to your outlets and appliances. Over time, wires can become brittle, frayed, or insufficient for modern appliances, which creates a serious fire hazard. If you have older knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, it is often wise to have it inspected. The cost to replace or repair wiring depends on the length of the run and how easily we can access the walls; exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
