MAIN 200AWhole House Rewiring in Saratoga, CA
Insurers across Santa Clara County have grown strict about knob and tube and aluminum branch wiring, and some will not write a policy at all. Rewiring a Saratoga home resolves that, and it is the only fix that actually addresses insulation that has gone brittle.

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

Reviews from Santa Clara County
GFCI in the bathroom kept tripping. They found real leakage in an old fixture rather than just replacing the GFCI and calling it done.
Nadia F.GFCI repair · SaratogaSmart switches wouldn't work because there was no neutral. They pulled one, got everything on Lutron, and set up the scenes before leaving.

Renee B.Generator · SaratogaWhole House Rewiring in Saratoga — questions
Is knob and tube wiring illegal in Saratoga?
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.
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.
Can I stay in the house during a rewire?
In most Saratoga 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 Saratoga?
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.
