FAQs
Why might I need a whole-home rewire in Oakdale?
Homes built before the mid-1980s often contain aluminum branch circuits, outdated two-prong outlets, or cloth-wrapped wiring that can overheat and fail modern safety tests. If you notice flickering lights, warm switch plates, frequent breaker trips, or you still have a fuse box, a rewire is the safest long-term fix. A full rewire not only eliminates fire hazards but also upgrades capacity so you can run today’s high-demand appliances, EV chargers, and home-office equipment without nuisance interruptions.
What "latest technology" components do you include in a modern rewire?
Our Oakdale rewire packages feature copper or copper-clad aluminum conductors, AFCI/GFCI combination breakers, tamper-resistant outlets, and whole-house surge protection. We install Cat6 data cabling, in-wall USB-C charging outlets, and smart-ready junction boxes that let you add devices later without opening walls. All lighting circuits are wired for LED fixtures with dimming capability, and we pre-run conduits to strategic locations for solar, battery back-up, or EV service upgrades.
How long does a typical whole-home rewire take and will I have to move out?
A 1,500–2,000-sq-ft single-story home in Oakdale usually takes 3–5 working days. Larger or two-story homes can take up to two weeks, especially if drywall patching and painting are included. You don’t necessarily have to move out: we rewire in zones, restoring power to essential circuits each evening, and we provide temporary lighting and outlet drops. However, families with small children or extensive home-office needs often choose a brief stay elsewhere for convenience.
How much does a complete rewire cost in Oakdale and what factors affect the price?
For a typical three-bedroom Oakdale home, prices start around $10,000 and range upward to $25,000, depending on square footage, attic/crawl-space access, number of circuits, and finish level. Adding smart-home cabling, recessed lighting, or a new 200-amp service panel increases materials and labor. Homes with lath-and-plaster walls or limited attic space require more time to fish new conductors, while vacant or gutted properties can be done faster and more economically. We provide a fixed bid after a free on-site assessment and load calculation.
Will my new wiring meet California and Oakdale electrical codes and pass inspection?
Yes. All work follows the 2023 National Electrical Code as adopted by California Title 24 and any amendments enforced by the City of Oakdale’s Building Division. We pull the required permits, schedule city inspections, and provide you with a Certificate of Compliance upon approval. Our technicians are California-licensed C-10 electricians, insured, and trained in current AFCI, GFCI, and tamper-resistant requirements, ensuring a smooth inspection process.
Can you integrate smart-home and energy-saving features during the rewire?
Absolutely. A rewire is the perfect time to embed smart switches, occupancy sensors, and low-voltage control wiring with no visible conduit. We can pre-wire for Wi-Fi thermostats, automated blinds, security cameras, and PoE lighting. For energy savings, we size conductors for future solar inverters, add sub-panels for battery storage, and install demand-response relays that let you participate in PG&E’s off-peak programs. These additions future-proof your home and can lower utility bills immediately.
