Whole House Rewiring across San Bruno
We cover all of San Bruno, from downtown out to the newer subdivisions on the edge of town, plus the neighboring communities of South San Francisco, Millbrae and San Francisco.
San Bruno sits in San Mateo County, and the electrical work here reflects that mix: older housing stock that needs grounding, capacity and device upgrades, alongside newer construction that simply needs more circuits than it was built with. Crews route through the Peninsula daily, so travel time to a call in San Bruno is short.

|---|---|
| Wall and ceiling material | Lath and plaster is slower and more fragile to open than drywall. |
| Existing wiring type | Knob and tube removal and aluminum remediation each carry their own scope. |
| Patching and finishing | You can keep patching separate or bundle it into the quote. |

Recent San Bruno 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.San Bruno, CAGenerator sized properly, transfer switch installed, and they tested it under load. Ran the whole house through the last shutoff without us touching anything.
Greg H.San Bruno, 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.San Bruno, CAWhole House Rewiring in San Bruno — questions we get asked
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.
How much does it cost to rewire a house in San Bruno?
Whole-home rewires in San Bruno 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.
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.
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.
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.
