What's Involved in Rewiring My House?

A residential rewiring project in Winnipeg will vary between homes. However, here is a general overview of what you can expect when you work with an electrician from our team:

1. Initial assessment

Expert electric personnel from Furnasman will evaluate your residential electric system to a great sense of the electrical work required.

2. Planning

Next, our expert electric personnel will develop a plan based on the layout and electrical needs of your home.

3. Removal of outdated wiring

Now the electrical work begins. They’ll conduct the tube removal, get rid of outlets, and dispose of old lighting.

4. Instillation electrical work

Next, our expert electric personnel will install new wiring, outlets, switches, and fixtures according to your unique needs and home.

5. Inspection of electrical work

We’ll then have the rewiring inspected by qualified residential electricians from our business to ensure compliance with safety and building codes.

6. Testing

Once the inspection is complete, an residential electrician will conduct safety and operational tests on the new system.

7. The installation is finished

Lastly, we’ll neatly patch holes in your walls, ceilings, and floors as needed, ensuring that we clean up drywall dust with our shop vac. Then, our business will complete your installation service by putting in new lighting fixtures and covers

How Much Does Electrical Wiring in a House Cost?

The cost for a residential electrical wiring service varies drastically based on a wide range of issues.

There are several factors at play, including:

• The size of your home
• The size of the wiring project
• The scope of the wiring project – for example, new additions such as media rooms, sound systems, security systems, etc.

Providing a hard estimate is difficult without knowing any of the above.

How Do I Know if My Home's Electrical Wiring is Bad?

These are some signs of poor electrical wiring in your home:

• Melting, slightly melted or discoloured wire in panel
• Melting, slightly melted or discoloured plugs/outlets
• Flickering lights
• Breakers constantly tripping

If you’ve noticed some or all of these signs, it may be time for an electrical inspection & rewiring, contact the pros at Furnasman today.

Wiring FAQs

How Do I Know When It's Time to Replace My Electrical Wiring?

If your home is on aluminum electrical wiring, you should call an electrical contractor to replace it right away. Aluminum wiring is not safe, and most insurance companies will no longer allow for coverage of homes that still use it.

If your home is on knob & tube wiring, you might want to consider upgrading to a more modern system.

How Long Does It Take an Electrician to Wire a House?

How long it takes an electrical contractor to wire a house depends largely on the house’s size. For a bungalow, for example, a relative estimate would be about one week. Homes with additional floors can expect an extra week for each floor. This is still, however, an estimate; the actual time will vary from house to house and project to project.

How Long Does a Home's Electricial Wiring Last?

• Copper wiring will last a very long time.
• Aluminum, however, will last around 20 years, and should be replaced at that point.

Can I (and Should I) Remove Old Unused Electrical Wiring?

No, not yourself; never attempt to move or remove old wiring yourself. A certified electrical contractor should be dispatched to inspect it themselves and confirm that it is, in fact, unused. Attempting to do so yourself is not safe and could result in severe injury or even death.
