House rewiring and knob and tube replacement in Mission Viejo, California
Rewiring is the least glamorous and most consequential electrical work there is. In older Mission Viejo 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 Mission Viejo 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.Mission Viejo, CAAdded four outlets and GFCI protection in the garage and laundry. Small job, treated like a real one. Fair price, no upsell.
Lorraine T.Mission Viejo, CAOld fuse box gone, 200 amp service in, inspection passed the first time. Clear communication the whole way through.
Bethany W.Mission Viejo, CAWhole House Rewiring in Mission Viejo — questions we get asked
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 Orange County projects sometimes have a day or two where it is easier to be elsewhere.
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.
How much does it cost to rewire a house in Mission Viejo?
Whole-home rewires in Mission Viejo 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.
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.
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.
