Older Homes

Older homes in Sacramento

An Older House Has Older Wiring. We Tell You What Yours Needs.

An inspection, a sale, or an insurer asking about it. Whatever flagged it, we look at the wiring and tell you what it needs now, what can wait, and what it costs, before any work starts.

What we are called about in older homes

Knob-and-tube wiringMore options than a full rewire. We tell you what yours needs now and what can wait. Federal Pacific and Zinsco panelsPanel brands that inspectors and insurers often flag. We check yours and tell you what it needs and what it costs. Fuse boxesStill found in older Sacramento homes. We tell you whether yours needs to become a breaker panel, and what it costs. Two-prong and ungrounded outletsThree prongs do not always mean grounded. The fix can be adding the ground, not rewiring. Findings from a home inspectionDouble taps, open junction boxes, and the rest of the list. We work through it item by item.

We look before we quote.

Older wiring is not one decision. A house is a set of circuits, and each has its own answer. Telling them apart is what we do.
