Complete & Partial Rewires

Complete & Partial Home Rewiring in Southeast Louisiana

Older homes in the New Orleans metro and Northshore areas often have wiring that is decades past its safe lifespan. Whether your home has knob-and-tube wiring, degraded cloth-covered wiring, or an outdated system that simply cannot handle modern electrical loads, CR Electric provides complete and partial rewiring services to make your home safe and functional.

When Does Your Home Need Rewiring?

• Your home is more than 40 years old and has never been rewired
• You have knob-and-tube or cloth-insulated wiring
• Insurance companies are requiring electrical upgrades
• Outlets are ungrounded (two-prong) throughout the home
• You experience frequent breaker trips or blown fuses
• Lights flicker or dim regularly
• You smell burning or notice discolored outlets
• You’re renovating and need to bring wiring up to code

Our Rewiring Process

1. Comprehensive Inspection — We evaluate your entire electrical system to determine the scope of work needed.
2. Detailed Proposal — You receive a written estimate that outlines the work, timeline, and cost.
3. Strategic Planning — We plan the rewiring route to minimize wall openings and disruption to your daily life.
4. Professional Installation — Our licensed electricians install new copper wiring, updated outlets, and modern circuit protection throughout your home.
5. Panel Upgrade — Rewiring projects often include an electrical panel upgrade to support the new circuits.
6. Inspection & Testing — We test every circuit and coordinate the required municipal inspections.
7. Cleanup — We patch, clean up, and leave your home better than we found it.

Complete vs. Partial Rewiring

Complete rewiring replaces all wiring in the home and is recommended for homes with severely outdated or dangerous wiring. Partial rewiring targets specific areas — such as a kitchen remodel, addition, or a section with known problems — and is a cost-effective option when the rest of the home’s wiring is still in good condition.
