Complete Home Rewiring
Many homes in Greater Victoria were built with electrical systems that are no longer safe or adequate for modern living. Our comprehensive rewiring services address these critical needs:
Why Rewiring a Home in Victoria is Necessary
Older wiring systems pose both safety and performance risks. Knob and tube wiring (common in homes built before 1950) lacks proper grounding and insulation, creating fire hazards and making it impossible to safely power modern appliances. Aluminum wiring (installed in many homes from the 1960s and 70s) expands and contracts with temperature changes, leading to loose connections that can cause fires.
Beyond safety concerns, outdated wiring simply can’t handle today’s electrical demands. Modern homes require substantially more power for computers, large appliances, electric vehicle chargers, and smart home systems.
What a Complete Rewire Includes
Our full rewiring service encompasses:
Complete removal* of old knob and tube, aluminum, or deteriorated copper wiring
Installation of new copper wiring throughout your home
Upgrading electrical panels to handle increased capacity
Adding proper grounding systems for safety
Installing GFCI and AFCI protection where required by code
Increasing the number of outlets and circuits to meet modern needs
Ensuring compliance with current Canadian Electrical Code standards
*Where possible/appropriate
