Why Rewiring Your Home Isn’t a Luxury — It’s a Necessity

Electrical systems age, and when they do, they become not only inefficient but also dangerous. Many homes in Philadelphia and the surrounding areas still rely on outdated aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring. These systems weren’t designed for today’s demands; air conditioning, home automation, electric vehicle chargers, and multiple large home appliances all draw heavy amperes through wires that simply can’t keep up.

When wiring overheats or becomes damaged due to wear, pests, or moisture in crawl spaces or basements, it creates a serious risk of fire. Rewiring your home ensures your system aligns with modern electrical code and keeps your family safe, your electronics running efficiently, and your property value protected.

Signs It’s Time for a Whole-House Rewire

If your light switch crackles, your fuse blows regularly, or you’ve gotten a whiff of melting plastic near your circuit breaker, it’s time to call a licensed electrician in Philadelphia. Here are more signs you may be overdue for electrical rewiring services:

  • Flickering lights or dimming when larger appliances turn on
  • Warm or discolored outlets, switches, or walls
  • Frequent tripping of breakers or blown fuses
  • Two-prong outlets or lack of GFCI outlets in the bathroom or kitchen
  • Electrical panel upgrades without proper wiring support
  • Cloth-insulated or aluminum wiring found during a home inspection
  • Frequent need for electrical repairs

Even if your system hasn’t failed outright, upgrading your residential wiring now can improve your home’s efficiency, increase accessibility to newer tech, and future-proof your investment.

George was an excellent help with installing 2 new recessed lights and wiring an area for a chandelier id like to put in. He was so kind and informative, and cleaned up after his work was complete. I am satisfied with the work and would use them again!

Gen3 added a 110V outlet and ran a new line from my box. It was probably the most transparent, communicative, and calming experience I've had with a contractor. Branden was awesome, answerred all my questions, and quickly installed this new outlet. I highly recommend Gen3!!

Gen3 removed the old knob and tube wiring from our house. It was a big job but Aaron and Mike & co were great. Very respectful towards us and our stuff. Very efficient, professional and hard working. Showed up exactly when they said they would and left a clean work space at the end of the day. Polite and communicative and trustworthy. Job started and ended right when they said it would and came in right on the dollar per original estimate. We chose them based on the recommendation of our neighbors and would definitely recommend them to others.

Gen 3 just installed a mini split system in my apartment. Every person I dealt with was exceptionally pleasant. The installers (Eric and Jonathan and crew) stayed in touch with me and made sure I was happy with the unit placement. It was a major job, requiring a lot of people, and they got it done ahead of schedule. I could not be more pleased with the service, and I will absolutely use Gen 3 in future for any electrical work I need.

What Happens During a Home Rewiring Project?

A full rewiring is more than just replacing some wires in the wall. It’s a systematic overhaul of your entire electrical wiring. Before a new electrical installation, GEN3 Electric & HVAC begins with a complete inspection and review of your current infrastructure, including wiring gauge, safety grounding, and panel capacity.

Next, we design a modern electrical wiring layout to meet your home’s needs, from ceiling fan setups and kitchen loads to future home automation plans. Our skilled electrical contractors use safe, durable materials like thermoplastic electrical conduit, copper conductors, and high-quality junction boxes to ensure everything meets or exceeds National Electrical Code (NEC) and local building code standards.

Our rewiring process is handled with care. Whether we’re snaking electric cables through drywall, fishing new lines through the attic, or working under the floor in tight spaces, we respect your home and your schedule when we rewire electric components. We keep homeowners like you informed every step of the way to minimize disruptions and manage the project with as little downtime as possible.

How Much Does It Cost to Rewire a Home?

The price to rewire a house depends on several key factors: square footage, number of circuits, accessibility of wiring paths, and upgrades to other components like lighting, outlets, or smart home devices. 

While the upfront cost can vary, remember that it’s a strategic home improvement that adds lasting value. You might even tap into your home equity, explore loans, or qualify for tax credits if energy-efficiency upgrades are part of your rewiring plan. Plus, you’re investing in peace of mind by eliminating hazards, ensuring fire safety, and protecting everything from your electronics to your clothes dryer.
