Whole-Home Electrical Rewiring

At Mills Electric Co, we provide professional, code-compliant Whole-Home Rewiring services. Led by owner Raymond Mills, who brings over 21 years of hands-on electrical experience, we serve homeowners and business owners with an active NC Electrical License #36565 and full liability coverage through our biBerk Policy #N9BP158903.

At Mills Electric Co, we replace outdated wiring systems safely and to current code. Every full rewire is backed by our standard 1-Year Workmanship Warranty and our promise: “We do the job right, or we’ll make it right.”

Replace outdated, ungrounded, or unsafe home wiring with a modern system. We replace cloth-insulated cabling, old aluminum wiring, and knob-and-tube setups. We run new grounded copper wiring, install modern panels, place code-correct outlets in every room, and coordinate structural access to minimize drywall footprint.

Signs It Is Time to Call for Whole-Home Rewiring

Decaying house wiring is a major fire hazard. Schedule a diagnostic walkthrough if you notice any of these signs:

• Living in an older home containing ungrounded 2-prong outlets or cloth wiring – This can point to an overloaded circuit or loose connection that requires inspection.
• Flickering lights, buzzing outlets, or regular circuit trips under normal appliance loads – A symptom that shouldn’t be ignored as it could pose safety hazards.
• Unsafe aluminum wiring installations flagged by home inspectors or insurance companies – Often indicates that your existing system is struggling to serve your modern power demands.
• Planning a full-home renovation and wanting to replace all old wiring systems safely – Requires a code-correct installation or repair rather than a temporary shortcut.

What Affects the Cost and Scope of the Job?

We provide transparent project pricing. The written estimate for rewiring your home is calculated based on:

1. The square footage, age, and framing characteristics of your home – This determines the amount of wire, conduit, and labor time needed for the run.
2. Drywall access levels (open basements and attics make routing far easier and cheaper) – Wall construction, ceiling access, and safety clearances directly impact the work scope.
3. Whether the main panel, meter base, and service mast must also be replaced – Older systems may need safety upgrades or permit coordination before adding new equipment.
4. The number of outlets, switches, and fixtures being completely replaced – The power rating of the device or panel determines breaker sizes and service line requirements.
