We Replace Outdated and Unsafe Wiring

Older homes need whole home rewiring to stay safe. Many contain aluminum wiring or cloth-insulated conductors. These materials pose serious fire risks. We remove obsolete systems completely. Then we install modern copper wiring throughout your property. Our electricians pull new cables through walls, attics, and crawl spaces. We minimize damage to your finishes. Every circuit we install meets current NEC Article 210 requirements for branch circuits. We ensure proper grounding on every line. We coordinate inspections with local building departments. Your project passes on the first visit. Our crew labels every panel clearly. We document all circuits in detail. You receive a complete electrical map when we finish.

Modern Panel Upgrades

200-Amp Service for Today's Power Demands

Most rewiring projects require panel upgrades. Modern homes need more power capacity. We install 200-amp main panels with room for all your circuits. This handles all your appliances and future needs. Our work includes proper bonding and grounding electrode connections. We add AFCI protection where required by code.

PowerMaster Electric has provided us with excellent service on our generator. The technicians, Chris and Asber, were thorough and explained everything to us. Hal came through before a severe ice storm by scheduling Asber to come to our home to install a part necessary to keep our generator running. Valerie in the office is so friendly and patient always following up to make sure our generator is running properly. Highly recommend!

We had a routine annual maintenance visit scheduled and the technician (Abser) identified a failed circuit board controller. He didn't have one on his truck but had to come back the next day (which was with a winter storm barreling down on the area). After a long day on calls out of the area he came by well after dark to replace the board right before the storm arrived. He did an excellent job communicating and updating us on his progress during the day and ETA for the evening. Well done on the customer service to get our generator up and running before the storm.

Chris and Asber showed up exactly the time we planned and were very knowledgeable and experienced. They finished the job and explained to me in detail all the work they completed. They also left everything neat and in order. What a great experience!

Common Questions

Residential Electrical FAQs

Common questions from Triangle homeowners about residential electrical services. Don’t see yours? Call us directly — we’re happy to help.
How long does a complete rewiring project take?
Most homes require seven to fourteen days. The timeline depends on square footage and complexity. We work room by room to keep portions of your home livable during construction. Single-story homes typically finish faster than multi-level properties. We provide a detailed timeline after our initial assessment. We stick to the schedule we promise.
Yes, rewiring requires access to wall cavities and ceiling joists. That is where old wiring runs. We use strategic access points to minimize the number of openings needed. Our electricians often work with a drywall contractor. They patch and finish surfaces after wiring installation. We discuss access plans during your estimate so there are no surprises.
You can usually stay home. You will be without power in specific areas as we work. We typically maintain power to your kitchen and one bathroom throughout the project. Some homeowners prefer to stay elsewhere for convenience. It is not required for safety reasons. We have your electricity restored each evening.
Costs vary based on home size, existing conditions, and panel requirements. A typical 1,500 square foot home ranges from $8,000 to $15,000. This includes permits and inspections. Homes with difficult attic access cost more. Multiple stories or knob-and-tube removal also increase cost. We provide detailed written estimates after evaluating your specific electrical system and accessibility.
Frequent breaker trips are a common warning sign. Flickering lights and discolored outlets also indicate problems. Burning smells near outlets or panels require immediate attention. Homes built before 1970 often contain outdated wiring materials. These fail to meet current safety standards. If your insurance company requests an electrical inspection or quotes higher premiums, rewiring may be necessary.

We pull all necessary electrical permits. We schedule required inspections with your local jurisdiction. Our license allows us to handle the entire permitting process on your behalf. We make sure all work meets code before the inspector arrives. Projects pass without delays. You receive copies of all approved permits and final inspection documents.
