"Angus did a great job! He was very prompt and professional. He was happy to do the work and didn’t let our messy garage deter him at all. He happily put in some long hours to get the job done. We would hire him for anything electrical in the future."

"The job took 2 days. The first day they replaced the AC. So we were comfortable that evening and beyond. The workmen were very professional. Everything was done as expected and tested out before they left. And the old stuff was all removed with the areas left clean."

FAQs for electrical for home addition or remodel installation projects in Ames, IA

There are several telltale signs that your home is due for an electrical upgrade. You may need to rewire your house if your lights are constantly flickering or your circuit breaker keeps tripping. If you feel mild electric shocks when you touch light switches, hear buzzing sounds, or notice burning smells, you may need to rewire your house, too. Discolored or burnt-looking switches and faceplates are another crucial warning sign. 

Properly installed copper wiring in a residential property can last as long as 50 to 100 years in some cases, but many homes over 30 years old are due for an upgrade. That’s the timeline that many experts recommend, even if it is only a partial update to accommodate technological advancements, increased power demands, and changing safety requirements. 

At $3 to $5 per square foot, the cost to wire a 2,000-square-foot house ranges from $6,000 to $10,000, on average. This can depend on many factors, like the age and complexity of the house and how easy it is for contractors to access the areas they need to get the job done. Opening and repairing walls can further add to your total cost.
