Electrical Rewiring in Tacoma

Signs You Need a Rewiring

Electrical problems can come in many forms, but there are some clear signs that rewiring might be necessary. Of course, the team at Hunt’s Services will attempt to repair the problem first to save you time and money, but there are scenarios where rewiring your home is likely to only option.

First, if your building has aluminum wiring, rewiring it is your best bet. Aluminum wiring became popular in the mid-1960s because copper prices increased significantly. However, officials soon discovered that aluminum wiring was a fire hazard, so it was discontinued in the early 1970s. This wiring remains in many homes built in that period, and it’s wise to replace it if you find yourself in this situation.

Another sign a rewiring is necessary is when there’s a burning smell in your home. This burning could be caused by heat coming off faulty wires behind your walls and is a serious safety issue you’ll want to address immediately. Turn your circuit breaker off if you notice a burning smell, and get an electrician on the job before using your electrical service again.

Outlet problems could mean your wiring needs replacement. These issues could include discolored, sparking, or loose outlets, as each scenario means there’s something wrong. Discolored outlets could mean your outlets are loose and that wiring has been exposed. You might also get a shock when using an outlet that’s experiencing issues.

Having your electrical breakers trip constantly could mean you have a problem with your wiring. While the occasional tripping breaker is typical, when it happens all the time, it could mean your wiring is experiencing issues or your electrical panel needs replacement and is at the end of its lifespan.

All of these issues mean that, at the very least, it’s time to have a professional electrician look at your system. Call Hunt’s Services at 253-533-7500 to inspect your wiring and develop a solution in Tacoma and throughout Pierce County.

How to Rewire a Home or Commercial Property

Rewiring a building is a massive job, and it’s not worth attempting unless you have the necessary training and experience. You want to ensure the job is done correctly because more issues could also appear in the future.

When you bring in a contractor like Hunt’s Services, they’ll handle the entire job systematically, ensuring there are no electrical safety concerns from now on.

The rewiring process beings with a contractor completing an electrical inspection. Hunt’s Services will have a look at your system to determine if repairs are possible or if a complete rewiring is necessary.

When whole home rewiring is the only way to go, we’ll start by preparing the area and developing a plan. This plan could involve looking in your crawlspace and attic to figure out the best way to remove your old wiring and install new wires.

Often times with whole home rewiring, we also need to replace or upgrade your electrical panel so that it is up to code with your new wiring. This is especially true with older homes that may still have knob and tube or fuse based electrical panels.

It’s worth noting that not all of the old wiring has to come out. The wiring behind your walls, for example, won’t hurt anything once it’s disconnected, so your contractor might choose to leave it in place to save you time and money.

Installing the new wiring could involve cutting a few strategic holes in your drywall. Fortunately, modern installation techniques allow us to run many of your wires without much access to the area behind your walls. Junction boxes help keep the cables organized, and stapling the wires to joists or rafters keeps them in place.

It will take our Tacoma electricians some time to complete this job, especially if you have a large home. It’ll be worth it, though, once your whole home rewiring is complete. Call Hunt’s Services in Tacoma to book your appointment today.
