OLDER & HISTORIC HOME REWIRING

Older homes always need better attention to detail or much more experience to keep the originality or finding a custom fix to a outdated scenario. From a custom retro fit or custom repair/install(s), each house is built differently and not all tasks can be done the same. SRP Electric Inc. specializes not only in bringing your home up to today’s codes and making it safe with minimal damage but know our way through the process of historic permits.  Whether you have a Craftsman style home, Victorian style home or historic home, please know that we are well experienced and take pride on having the opportunity to be part of history!

Electrical Rewiring for Older & Historic San Diego Home

A new panel alone may not be sufficient if your home still has knob-and-tube wiring, deteriorated cloth-insulated wiring, or aluminum branch circuit wiring from the 1960s and 70s. These systems were acceptable when installed but are now considered fire and shock hazards — and are typically uninsurable in their original condition.


SRP Electric is San Diego's go-to specialist for whole-house rewiring in older homes, including Victorian, Craftsman, Spanish Colonial, and Bungalow-style properties. We have the experience to run new wiring through finished walls with minimal disruption, preserving the original character of your home wherever possible. When rewiring is necessary, we combine it with the panel upgrade for maximum efficiency and cost savings.


We also specialize in aluminum wiring remediation — a common issue in homes built between 1965 and 1973. Aluminum branch wiring expands and contracts with heat cycles, loosening connections over time and creating arc-fault risks. Our team can properly retrofit aluminum wiring with approved copalum crimps or pigtailing, or replace it entirely depending on the scope of the problem.

Older & Historic Home Rewiring (San Diego Specialists)

  • Do you rewire older or historic homes in San Diego?

    Yes, SRP Electric Inc. specializes in rewiring historic and older homes throughout San Diego while preserving structural integrity and character.

  • Why is rewiring important for older San Diego homes?

    Many older homes in San Diego still have outdated wiring systems that can pose safety risks. Rewiring improves safety, efficiency, and reliability.


  • Will rewiring damage my home?

    We use minimally invasive techniques and carefully plan projects to reduce disruption. We’ll walk you through the process before starting.


  • Is knob-and-tube wiring dangerous?

    Original knob-and-tube wiring is not inherently dangerous when it is in good condition and not overloaded

    or covered by insulation. However, in most older San Diego homes it has been modified, spliced, or

    covered over the decades — all of which create genuine fire hazards. Most insurance companies will no

    longer insure homes with active knob-and-tube wiring. We recommend a professional inspection to

    evaluate your situation.
