Whole-Home Rewiring & Knob-and-Tube Replacement in NJ

A large share of the housing in Morris, Essex, Bergen, and Union Counties was built before 1960, and much of it still runs on its original wiring. Knob and tube and cloth-insulated cable become brittle with age, aluminum branch wiring from the late 1960s and 1970s loosens at the connections, and none of it was sized for a modern kitchen.

Trapani Electric rewires houses in Morris, Passaic, Essex, Bergen, and Union Counties, either room by room or the whole house at once. We plan runs through closets and existing chases where possible, work around plaster and trim rather than through it, and coordinate with your contractor when a wall does have to be opened. The job is permitted and inspected, and the old wiring is disconnected rather than left live in the walls.

These are the usual reasons homeowners call us:

• Fuses blow or breakers trip on a regular basis
• Outlets or switch plates feel warm or have discolored
• There is a burning smell with no obvious source
• The house has two-prong outlets throughout
• Knob and tube or aluminum wiring was found during an inspection
• A renovation or addition is planned and the wiring has to be brought up to code first

If you have an inspection report in hand, we can go through it with you and explain which items need to be addressed and which can wait.
