## Situations we see in Clayton

### Fabric insulation crumbling

Once the cloth and rubber goes brittle, conductors sit bare inside boxes. There is no repair for that other than new wire.

### Aluminum branch wiring

Aluminum expands and creeps at terminations and runs hot. Depending on scope we either replace the runs or pigtail every connection with approved connectors.

### Two-prong outlets everywhere

No equipment ground means no fault path. Rewiring the branch circuits is the real fix, though GFCI protection is a legitimate interim step in some cases.

### Insurance flagged knob and tube

Carriers in Contra Costa County increasingly require removal. We document what was replaced so you have something to send the underwriter.

## Reviews from Contra Costa County

★★★★★

Smart switches wouldn't work because there was no neutral. They pulled one, got everything on Lutron, and set up the scenes before leaving.

Bought a 1948 house with cloth wiring. They phased the rewire so we always had power in half the house, and gave us paperwork our insurer accepted.

Breaker tripped Sunday night and I got a call back in about ten minutes. Tech found a bad connection in a junction box behind the closet, fixed it that night, and the price was what he said on the phone.

## Whole House Rewiring in Clayton — questions

Is knob and tube wiring illegal in Clayton?

Existing installations are generally allowed to remain, but you cannot extend them, most insurers dislike them, and the insulation is long past its service life. That combination is why owners replace it.

Can I stay in the house during a rewire?

In most Clayton projects, yes. We work in phases and leave you with power in the rooms we are not touching that day.

How much does whole house rewiring cost in Clayton?

It scales with square footage, number of circuits, attic and crawlspace access, and whether the walls are plaster or drywall. A 1,200 square foot single story with attic access is a very different number than a two-story plaster home. Call (833) 652-8933 for a walkthrough and a firm scope.

Do I need a new panel if I rewire?

Usually. New circuits need somewhere to land, and a rewire is the natural moment to move to a 200 amp panel with AFCI protection.

Will you cut up my walls?

Some openings are unavoidable, but we fish through existing cavities wherever we can and keep openings small, straight and in patchable locations. We tell you where they will go before we cut.
