How do I get whole-house rewiring & upgrades in Fort Lauderdale?
Rewiring replaces old or unsafe wiring throughout a home, and an electrician should assess the house before deciding how much to replace. Call 844-510-1963 and we connect you with an independent, Florida-licensed contractor who serves your city.
When does a house need rewiring?
Reasons include wiring that is old or damaged, circuits that cannot handle today's loads, a renovation that opens the walls, or a home with aluminum branch wiring. The contractor inspects first and tells you whether a partial upgrade is enough.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says an estimated two million homes and mobile homes have been built with aluminum wiring since 1965 and that many fires involved overheated terminals at a receptacle or switch. It recommends asking a knowledgeable electrician to determine whether your home has it.
What are the warning signs of a wiring problem?
The same CPSC page names warm switch or receptacle face plates, a burning-plastic smell, and flickering lights not traced to appliances. If you notice them, stop using the circuit and call a contractor.
What is involved in a rewire or upgrade?
The work can include new branch circuits, new outlets and switches, grounding, GFCI protection where required, and often a panel upgrade. See our panel upgrade page for the permit basics and our inspection page for how an assessment works.
Rewiring is permitted work. Plantation says electrical permits are required for all electrical work, so plan for permits and inspections in the schedule.
How much does it cost?
Rewiring is priced by the job, not by a published rate, so there is no honest single number. Our cost guide lists sourced ranges for common electrical work, and a written estimate is the only real price for your home.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my home has aluminum wiring?
Ask a qualified electrician to check. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends that a knowledgeable electrician determine this and assess the connections.
Does rewiring a house require a permit?
Yes. Plantation, for example, says electrical permits are required for all electrical work, and other Broward cities publish similar rules.
Should I rewire before or after a remodel?
Usually before the walls are closed, because access is easier. Ask the contractor to look at the plans before drywall goes up.
Can I rewire my own home in Florida?
Only in limited cases. Florida exempts an owner who applies for the permit, supervises and does the work on their own single-family or duplex home.
