House rewiring and knob and tube replacement in Millbrae, California

Rewiring is the least glamorous and most consequential electrical work there is. In older Millbrae neighborhoods we still find knob and tube, cloth-insulated conductors and ungrounded two-prong outlets carrying loads nobody imagined in 1948. A rewire replaces the wiring itself rather than patching around it.

Recent Millbrae feedback

We rewired in stages so we could keep living here. They planned the access holes where the patcher could actually fix them, which I did not expect.

Ellen and Ray M.Millbrae, CA

Old fuse box gone, 200 amp service in, inspection passed the first time. Clear communication the whole way through.

Bethany W.Millbrae, CA

Tesla Wall Connector installed, conduit run neatly along the garage wall, permit handled. Charges overnight now instead of trickling all week.

Whole House Rewiring in Millbrae — questions we get asked

Is aluminum wiring dangerous?

Aluminum branch wiring from the 1960s and 70s is not inherently unusable, but its connections loosen and overheat over time. Remediation with listed connectors or replacement resolves it.

How do I know if I have knob and tube wiring?

Look in the attic or basement for individual wires running through white ceramic knobs and tubes. Two-prong outlets throughout and a fuse box are strong supporting signs.

Will you patch the drywall?

We cut planned, patch-ready access and coordinate closely with your patcher or painter. Ask and we will quote the rewire with patching included.

Do I have to move out during a rewire?

Usually not. We work in phases and keep power on to the areas you are using. Larger San Mateo County projects sometimes have a day or two where it is easier to be elsewhere.

How much does it cost to rewire a house in Millbrae?

Whole-home rewires in Millbrae are priced by square footage, circuit count and access — a single-story home with an accessible attic and crawlspace costs far less than a two-story plaster home. We walk it, then give one firm number.
