Wiring and rewiring

Homes in Columbus, Westerville, and the surrounding area range from decades-old construction with knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring to newer builds with a wiring mistake made somewhere along the way. Either way, wiring problems tend to get worse, not better, until someone traces them properly.

Warm outlet covers, breakers that trip for no clear reason, flickering lights, or a faint burning smell are all signs the wiring needs attention. Our troubleshooting process starts by identifying exactly where the problem is, rather than guessing or replacing parts that do not need it. From there we can recommend a full rewire, a partial rewire of the affected area, or targeted repairs depending on the age and condition of your home's wiring.

Rewiring work is done with as little disruption to walls and finishes as possible, running new wire through existing paths where we can. We bring older circuits up to current code, which often means adding GFCI protection in kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas where it is now required. Homeowners in Hilliard and Dublin often come to us after a home inspection turns up wiring concerns, and we walk through what actually needs to happen before any work starts.

• Troubleshooting for flickering lights, warm outlets, or nuisance trips
• Full or partial rewiring for older homes
• GFCI protection added where code requires it
• Permitted, code-compliant work
