Signs you need it

## When to call

-   You are remodeling a kitchen, bath or basement, or adding a room
-   Your home has knob and tube wiring or ungrounded wiring
-   Your home has aluminum branch wiring

What we do

## Step by step

1.  We walk the project with you or your contractor and plan circuits, outlets and lights.
2.  We agree on the price.
3.  After the permit is issued, we do the rough-in wiring while the walls are open.
4.  The inspector checks the rough-in before the walls close.
5.  After drywall, we install devices and fixtures, test everything and get the final inspection.

## Remodel Wiring & Rewiring questions

Straight answers to what Northern Virginia homeowners ask most.

![Zappy holding a coil of electrical cable and a wire stripper](/brand/zappy/zappy-electric-sandro-mascot-rewiring-cable-300.webp)

What is knob and tube wiring?

It is very old wiring, common before the 1950s, run on porcelain knobs and tubes. It has no ground, and many insurance companies will not cover homes that still use it.

Can you rewire a house without tearing out all the walls?

Often yes. We fish new wire through walls and ceilings from the attic, the basement and small openings, then patch the holes.
