Rewire Your Whole House in Calgary
Older homes often contain wiring that no longer meets today’s electrical requirements. This can include outdated aluminum wiring, knob and tube wiring, or circuits that were installed before current electrical safety rules were in place. Rewiring your home improves safety, increases electrical capacity, and ensures your system can support modern devices and appliances without overloading. At Calgary Electric, we have extensive experience upgrading wiring in older Calgary homes, and we complete the process with attention to detail and full code compliance.
​
A complete home rewiring project involves replacing all electrical wiring, updating outlets and switches, installing a modern electrical panel if needed, and ensuring proper grounding throughout the property. Our electricians plan the wiring layout carefully, work efficiently to minimize disruption to your home, and ensure every component is installed correctly. When the project is finished, you will have a safer electrical system that operates with greater stability, better energy efficiency, and improved reliability. Rewiring can also increase the value of your property, especially if you plan to renovate, sell, or add new features such as air conditioning, a hot tub, or an electric vehicle charger.
Does Your House Need Rewiring?
There are several signs that may indicate your home needs updated wiring. If you notice flickering lights, frequently tripping breakers, or discolored outlets, the electrical wiring may be struggling to handle the load. Homes built several decades ago often used materials and wiring methods that are no longer acceptable under current electrical codes. Knob and tube systems, aluminum wiring, and ungrounded circuits are common issues in older Calgary properties. These systems can pose increased safety risks and should be inspected by a licensed electrician.
Another common indicator is overheating outlets or warm electrical panels. This can mean that circuits are drawing more power than they were originally designed to support. If you experience buzzing sounds, burning smells, or lights that dim when appliances are turned on, you may have an overloaded or failing wiring system. Calgary Electric can perform a complete inspection to determine the condition of your wiring and provide clear recommendations based on what we find.
​
The cost of rewiring your home will depend on several factors including the size of the property, the accessibility of the wiring, the number of circuits required, and the overall condition of the electrical system. While rewiring is an investment, it significantly improves safety and reduces the chance of electrical fire hazards. It also ensures your home can support modern electrical demands such as high efficiency appliances, updated lighting systems, home offices, entertainment setups, and heating or cooling equipment. We offer transparent pricing and detailed explanations so you understand the full scope of work before we begin.
​
When it comes to the types of wiring systems used in residential properties, we install high quality copper wiring that meets all Canadian electrical standards. Copper wiring is safe, efficient, and durable, making it the preferred choice for both new builds and full rewiring projects. Our process includes removing outdated wiring, installing new circuits, upgrading outlets and switches, ensuring proper grounding, and providing a complete inspection once the work is done. Every connection is tested carefully to confirm safe operation and long term reliability.
​
Calgary Electric also works closely with homeowners during renovations. If you are updating your kitchen, finishing a basement, or adding a new living space, proper wiring is essential. We can add circuits, relocate outlets, install new lighting, and ensure your electrical system can handle additional power requirements. Our electricians communicate clearly throughout the project and coordinate with other trades to maintain a smooth and efficient workflow.

Calgary Electric provides detailed inspections, honest recommendations, and high quality workmanship on every project. Whether you need a small upgrade or a complete wiring replacement, we are committed to delivering dependable electrical solutions that keep your home safe and functional for years to come.
