Whole Home Rewire in Sacramento Area

Outdated Wiring? Let’s Fix It Right — Safely and Permanently.

If your home still has old aluminum, knob-and-tube, or ungrounded wiring — it’s time to think about a full rewire. Electrical issues aren’t just inconvenient. They’re dangerous.

At Menderix, we specialize in whole house rewiring for older homes across Sacramento, Elk Grove, Roseville, Folsom, and surrounding areas. Whether you’re renovating or replacing unsafe wiring, we bring your system up to modern safety and code — with minimal disruption to your home.

Signs Your Home May Need Rewiring

Many Sacramento-area homes built before the 1970s still rely on outdated wiring. Warning signs include:

  • Frequent tripped breakers or blown fuses
  • Lights flickering or dimming when appliances run
  • Warm or discolored outlets and switches
  • No ground wire in outlets (two-prong plugs)
  • Aluminum wiring or knob-and-tube present
  • Extension cords or power strips everywhere
  • Burning smells or buzzing near outlets

Even if everything “still works,” older systems often can’t handle the load of today’s modern appliances, home offices, EV chargers, or HVAC systems.

What’s Included in a Whole House Rewire

Every rewire project is unique, but typically includes:

  • Removal or bypass of outdated wiring (aluminum, cloth-insulated, or knob-and-tube)
  • New copper wiring run throughout the entire home
  • Replacement of outlets, switches, and lighting boxes
  • Installation of GFCI and AFCI protection where required
  • Upgraded grounding system
  • Panel upgrade (MPU) if needed to handle modern load
  • Full permitting, inspection, and code compliance
  • Clean drywall cuts, labeled circuits, and careful restoration

We also provide partial rewiring options — ideal for kitchen or bathroom remodels, additions, or when replacing unsafe circuits one phase at a time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my home needs rewiring?

Common signs include flickering lights, frequently tripped breakers, two-prong outlets, or outdated knob-and-tube wiring. If your home was built before the 1980s and hasn’t been rewired, it’s worth getting a professional evaluation — especially if you plan to add EV chargers, solar, or modern appliances.

Is a full home rewire really necessary, or can I just update parts?

Partial updates can work for small issues, but in older homes with outdated or unsafe wiring, a full rewire ensures safety, long-term reliability, and code compliance. We’ll help you assess the condition of your system and make an honest recommendation.

Will rewiring damage my walls or ceilings?

We use strategic access points to minimize drywall disruption, and we patch up our work after installation. If your home is undergoing renovation, that’s the perfect time to rewire with minimal impact.

How long does a whole house rewiring project take?

Most rewiring jobs take 3 to 7 days depending on the size, age, and layout of your home. We work efficiently while ensuring everything is done safely and up to current NEC (National Electrical Code) standards.

Do I need to vacate my home during the project?

In most cases, no. We rewire in stages to keep parts of your home live, but if the electrical system is extremely outdated or unsafe, we may recommend temporary relocation for safety and speed.

Do you handle permits and inspections?

Yes — we offer both options. You can manage the permit process yourself, or we can take care of all permitting, utility coordination (with SMUD, PG&E, or your local agency), and inspections for an added fee. We’ll walk you through both choices.

Can I upgrade my panel and rewire at the same time?

Absolutely. Rewiring is the perfect time to install a new 200A+ main panel, especially if you’re planning future upgrades like EV charging, solar, or HVAC. We can bundle everything into one seamless project.

What kind of wiring do you use?

We install high-quality copper wiring, properly sized and routed according to code. We use modern materials like NM-B (Romex) or MC where appropriate and always plan for future electrical needs.

Will a rewire increase my home’s value?

Yes. A full rewire can improve safety, increase resale value, and reduce the risk of costly electrical problems later. It’s especially valuable if your current wiring is not grounded or not up to code.

Is my home’s electrical system safe now?

If you have outdated wiring or an older fuse box, your system may not meet current safety standards — or support modern appliances. A professional assessment can give you peace of mind. After we complete a rewire, you’ll have a modern, safe, and efficient system ready for decades to come.
