Whole-Home Rewires in Tacoma

Bring Aging Homes Up to Modern Electrical Standards

If your home still has aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube circuits, or cloth-insulated cables, you're living with electrical systems that were never designed to handle today's demands. These outdated materials aren't just inefficient—they're genuine fire hazards that put your family and investment at serious risk.

Champs Electric provides comprehensive whole-home rewiring for aging properties, major remodels, and homes with unsafe legacy wiring throughout Tacoma. We understand the unique challenges posed by the area's large stock of mid-century and older homes, many of which feature wiring that hasn't been updated in 50 or more years.

According to the U.S. Fire Administration, homes with outdated wiring are 55 times more likely to experience electrical fires than those with modern systems. Complete rewiring eliminates these hazards while adding capacity, improving reliability, and preparing your home for decades of safe use.

Why Tacoma Homes Require Full Rewiring

Tacoma's housing stock includes thousands of homes built in the 1940s through 1970s, a period when aluminum wiring and outdated insulation materials were common. These systems weren't built for air conditioning, home offices, entertainment systems, or electric vehicles.

Aluminum wiring, in particular, expands and contracts with temperature changes, loosening connections over time and creating hot spots. Knob-and-tube wiring lacks grounding and can't safely support modern appliances. Cloth-insulated cables deteriorate with age, exposing bare conductors and increasing shock and fire risk.

We replace outdated wiring with modern copper conductors, install properly rated breakers and panels, and label every circuit for easy future maintenance. Our process includes thorough cleanup, minimal wall damage, and complete safety testing before we consider the job finished. Get in touch today for Whole-Home Rewires in Tacoma.
