Recent Rancho Santa Margarita 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.Rancho Santa Margarita, CAPanel had no room left and we wanted an EV charger. Got a straight answer, a flat number, and the whole thing done in a day. The new labels alone were worth it.
Marisol R.Rancho Santa Margarita, CAOur restaurant cannot close, so they did the panel work overnight. Walked in the next morning to everything working and the floor cleaner than we left it.
Nadia F.Rancho Santa Margarita, CAWhole House Rewiring in Rancho Santa Margarita — questions we get asked
How much does it cost to rewire a house in Rancho Santa Margarita?
Whole-home rewires in Rancho Santa Margarita 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
