Rewire a house

House Rewiring Services in San Diego, CA | Licensed & Trusted Electricians

Is your San Diego home more than 30 years old? Do you notice flickering lights, warm outlets, or frequently tripping breakers? These are common signs that it may be time to rewire your house. At Green Electric Solutions, we provide expert, code-compliant house rewiring services in San Diego, CA, helping homeowners stay safe, energy-efficient, and prepared for modern electrical demands.

Why Rewire Your House in San Diego?

Homes built before the 1990s often use outdated wiring such as knob-and-tube, aluminum wiring, or cloth-insulated cables. These systems were not designed to handle today's electrical loads, putting your safety—and property—at risk.

Common Signs You May Need Rewiring:

Frequent circuit breaker trips
Flickering or dimming lights
Burning smell from outlets or panels
Two-prong outlets with no ground
Visible old wiring in attic or basement
Outlets or switches that spark or feel warm

Benefits of Rewiring Your Home

1. Improved Electrical Safety

Old or damaged wiring is one of the leading causes of residential fires. Rewiring ensures your system meets the latest safety codes and drastically reduces fire hazards.

2. Modern Power Capacity

From smart devices to high-powered kitchen appliances, new wiring ensures your home can support today’s power needs without overloading.

3. Code Compliance & Insurance

Upgraded wiring keeps your home in compliance with the California Electrical Code and often reduces your homeowners insurance premiums.

4. Boost in Property Value

Rewiring is an investment that adds resale value—especially in San Diego neighborhoods with vintage homes like Normal Heights, Mission Hills, and Golden Hill.
