Whole House Rewiring in Prescott Valley, AZ

If your home’s wiring is more than 30 years old, it may be quietly putting your family at risk. Degraded insulation, loose connections, and undersized circuits are problems you cannot see until something goes wrong. A whole house rewire replaces aging or hazardous wiring with modern, grounded copper and brings your entire electrical system up to current safety standards.

Assurance Electrical Services (ROC #322083) has rewired hundreds of Prescott Valley homes over the past 20 years. We handle everything from the initial assessment through permits, panel upgrades, GFCI/AFCI protection, and final county inspection. Most rewires take 5 to 10 days, and you can stay in your home during the work. Call (928) 713-2177 for a free rewiring assessment.

Not Sure What Is Behind Your Walls?

Our on-site assessment identifies your wiring type, condition, panel capacity, and any code violations so you know exactly where you stand.

Your Home’s Wiring Has a Lifespan

Copper wiring from the 1970s through 1990s degrades over decades. Insulation becomes brittle, connections loosen, and circuits that were adequate for a few appliances cannot keep up with today’s air conditioners, home offices, EV chargers, and modern kitchens.

If your home has aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube wiring, or cloth-covered insulation, the risk is more urgent. These wiring types are documented fire hazards. Insurance companies and home inspectors flag them routinely, and some carriers will refuse coverage altogether.

How Do You Know If Your Home Needs Rewiring?

Most homeowners do not realize their wiring is a problem until they see one of these warning signs:

  • Burning smell near outlets, switches, or the electrical panel
  • Warm or discolored outlets and faceplates
  • Sparking, buzzing, or sizzling sounds from outlets or switches
  • Frequent breaker trips, especially when running normal appliances
  • Flickering or dimming lights when appliances turn on
  • Two-prong outlets throughout the home (no grounding)
  • Heavy reliance on extension cords and power strips

If your home was built before 1980 or has a panel older than 30 years, a professional wiring assessment is worth the peace of mind alone.

Insurance Issues Due to Your Wiring?

Some insurers refuse to cover homes with aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube wiring, or panels older than 30 years. A whole house rewire resolves these issues and can restore your eligibility for standard rates.

What Happens When You Delay a Rewire

  • Degraded insulation exposes conductors that can arc against framing inside walls
  • Loose connections generate heat that can ignite surrounding materials
  • Insurance consequences escalate, including denial of claims or policy cancellation
  • Home sale complications including delayed closings, reduced sale price, or lost deals

What’s Included in a Whole House Rewire

  • New copper wiring throughout the home, properly sized for each circuit
  • 200-amp panel upgrade (or larger if needed)
  • GFCI outlets in all code-required locations
  • AFCI breakers for bedrooms and living areas
  • New grounded three-prong outlets replacing any remaining two-prong outlets
  • Proper grounding and bonding throughout
  • All required permits and inspections
  • Additional circuits for modern needs as required

Frequently Asked Questions

A whole-house rewire typically costs between $8,000 and $20,000, depending on home size, number of circuits, accessibility of wiring pathways, and whether a panel upgrade is included. A 1,500 square foot home with an accessible attic and crawlspace falls at the lower end. Larger homes with finished walls and limited access cost more. We provide detailed estimates after an on-site assessment.
Most whole-house rewires take 5 to 10 working days, depending on home size and construction. You can stay in the home during the work. Individual circuits go offline during their replacement, but we plan the sequence to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Yes. A whole house rewire requires an electrical permit from the Town of Prescott Valley or Yavapai County, depending on your jurisdiction. Assurance Electrical handles all permit applications and inspection scheduling as part of the project.
Common indicators include frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, warm or discolored outlets, burning smell near outlets or the panel, two-prong outlets throughout the home, a panel older than 30 years, aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube wiring, or an insurance company requesting an electrical upgrade. A safety inspection can confirm whether a full rewire is necessary.
Yes. We perform partial rewires when only certain areas or circuits need replacement. However, if your home has widespread aluminum wiring, knob-and-tube wiring, or an outdated panel, a full rewire is usually more cost-effective and safer than addressing sections individually.
We minimize drywall disruption by routing new wiring through attics, crawlspaces, and existing pathways wherever possible. Some drywall access may be necessary, and we patch and restore any openings we create. The extent of wall work depends on your home’s construction and accessibility.
