Q: What are the signs you need to rewire a house?

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.

Q: How long will the wiring in my house last?

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.

Q: How much does it cost to wire a 2,000-square-foot house?

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.

"This was the worst experience i have ever had with a company. They came and damaged my house and kept us without AC for days. They admitted to the extensive damage and went weeks before attempting to repair it. The services were never fully completed and they were paid over 90% of the job. I disputed the last 10% and provided overwhelming evidence of their negligence. And after a year their last ditch effort was to send collections letters. Don't walk, RUN from this company. I will provide pics and my my experience to anyone who is planning on using this company. Used to be family owned and was amazing. Second they sold it went downhill fast."

"The provider came to give estimate for the emergency situation we were in for water leaking into electric panel box from electric pole attached to house outside. The provider suggested we upgrade Panel Box from 100amp service to 200amp service since box had to be changed anyway. The estimate was $400 higher than the other estimate we got from another ANGI electrician at $3100 but the provider could come the next day to complete job. Where the other electrian could not do the job for 4 days out. Provider stated that he doesnt accept credit cards or do financing so I told him "no thank you" to the job, as this was an emergency and didnt have cash to pay him. After Provider left he called back stating he could use an associate of his credit billing account so he can do the job. The provider NEVER mentioned getting PERMITS AND A UNDERWRITERS CERTIFICATE for us to upgrade the AMP service to our home. I hired this provider From ANGI believing he was a vetted Professional and we would have all proper services done including any and all paperwork involved especially that he was charging more for the job. After job was completed he still had no credit card available and was mad that I didnt have all cash. I was dumbfounded as he stated that he had access to a credit terminal. I gave him a Check for $1600 and a $100 bill Which then he gave me an invoice that had no Electrical License listed or any type of insurance listed. I had to actually call Suffolk County NY to find out if he actually had a license and insurance which I wrote down on attached file. Provider stated he had to get in touch for the credit. He called later with a link for PAYPAL for me to pay $1300 that I owed him which I paid asap. The provider then had to come back because he didnt attach our Oil Burner to the new Circuit Panel Box and it was freezing inside our home. He then approached me while my husband was still in the basement getting the oil burner started and was demanding another $100 because PAYPAL charged him FEES. I said bluntly "NO" and he started billigerently YELLING at me "YOU WANT ME TO EAT IT???" over and over. He left Slamming my front door while screaming outside extremely loud "SHE WANTS ME TO EAT IT???" meaning the extra $100. I called PAYPAL to ask about the tranaction and Payplal stated that he had to agree to their terms and fees which are on the business owners' and not the customers responsibility. He was very scary and I was afraid of him and was afraid he was going to retaliate against us some way. The PERMIT and UNDERWRITERS CERTIFICATE MUST BE FILED AND DELIVERED TO US as we only found out that this was MANDATORY by an Electrical Contractor that my daughter was hiring for same service."

"I used stone to upgrade the electric in my house and connect my hot tub and pool. The crew that came to my home were good... But if you have a question about something Sean is nowhere to be found. You have to go thru the secretary who is absolutely clueless to ask a question. The only time you see Sean is when he comes to your house for the estimate. After that he is unobtainable. When you call in the morning with a question your lucky if you get an answer by the end of the day or the next day. I found them to be overpriced, rude and even nasty at times. I would never use them again"
