Re-Wires and Installs

New circuits and complete rewires laid out for the finished space.

Aging aluminum, cloth, or knob-and-tube wiring is a serious hazard in many older Louisiana homes. Ceasar’s Electric specializes in whole-home and partial re-wires and new installs, replacing failing wiring with modern copper circuits built to current code.

We work room by room to keep your home livable, protect finishes, and minimize disruption throughout the project.

How a Rewire Works

Walk-through and scope

We look at the panel, the accessible wiring and the rooms involved, then decide between a partial rewire, a whole-home rewire, or new circuits only.

Written quote

The scope and price are written out before we start, including what drywall access is needed.

Rough-in

New copper wiring is run to code. We use access points and fish wire where we can to limit drywall repair.

Inspection

We schedule the rough-in and final inspections when a permit is required.

Devices, panel and cleanup

Outlets, switches and breakers are installed and tested, the panel is labeled, and the work area is left clean.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my home needs to be re-wired?+

Cloth, aluminum, or knob-and-tube wiring, frequent breaker trips, discolored outlets, or a burning smell are all signs. Homes built before the 1970s are the most common candidates.

Can you re-wire a house without tearing out all the walls?+

In many cases yes. We use careful fishing techniques to run new circuits with minimal drywall damage, and we work room by room to keep your home livable.

How long does a whole-home re-wire take?+

It depends on the size and layout of the home, but most whole-home re-wires take several days to about a week. We give you a clear timeline with your quote.

Is aluminum wiring dangerous?+

Aluminum branch wiring can loosen and overheat at connections over time. We can replace it or correct the terminations to make your home safe.

Do I have to move out during a rewire?+

Often not. A partial rewire or new circuits can usually be done while you stay in the home. A whole-home rewire is more disruptive, and we tell you before work starts what to expect room by room.

Can you rewire without tearing out all the drywall?+

In many homes, yes. We use attics, crawl spaces, closets and fished runs to reach most walls, and open the drywall only where we have to. The walk-through tells us how much access is realistic.
