Rewiring is disruptive work done well or done badly, and the difference is planning. Rupert Electrical Solutions maps every circuit in your Merced home first, then rewires in phases so you never lose the kitchen and the bedrooms in the same week.

Situations we see in Merced
Insurance flagged knob and tube
Carriers in Merced County increasingly require removal. We document what was replaced so you have something to send the underwriter.
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.
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.

Reviews from Merced 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.
Chantal P.Smart home wiring · MercedWarehouse high bay retrofit to LED. Did it over a weekend so we never stopped shipping, and the place is twice as bright.
Greg L.Warehouse lighting · MercedSix recessed lights in the living room and a dimmer that finally doesn't buzz. They laid the whole layout out on the ceiling with tape first, which I appreciated.
Tom R.Lighting installation · MercedWhole House Rewiring in Merced — questions
How much does whole house rewiring cost in Merced?
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.
Can I stay in the house during a rewire?
In most Merced projects, yes. We work in phases and leave you with power in the rooms we are not touching that day.
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.
Is knob and tube wiring illegal in Merced?
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.
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.
