Owning an older home in Chicagoland comes with unique charm, but often also with outdated and potentially hazardous electrical systems. Father and Sons Electrical specializes in rewiring older homes, replacing knob-and-tube, aluminum, or other outdated wiring with modern, safe, and code-compliant electrical systems.

The electrical systems in many historic Chicagoland homes were not designed to handle the demands of today’s appliances and technology. Outdated wiring can lead to frequent circuit trips, insufficient power, and, most critically, a significant risk of electrical fires. Rewiring is a major investment in your home’s safety, efficiency, and future value.

Signs Your Older Home May Need Rewiring:

• Frequent Tripped Breakers/Blown Fuses: Your system can’t handle the electrical load.
• Flickering or Dimming Lights: Indicates inadequate wiring or voltage issues.
• Outlets That Don’t Work: Could be due to old, ungrounded wiring or loose connections.
• Two-Prong Outlets (Ungrounded): Lack of grounding is a safety hazard for modern electronics.
• Burning Smells or Scorched Outlets: Immediate signs of serious electrical problems.
• Knob-and-Tube Wiring: An outdated system that lacks a ground wire and insulation can become brittle.
• Aluminum Wiring (1960s-1970s): Prone to expansion and contraction, leading to loose connections and fire risk.

Our licensed electricians meticulously plan and execute whole-house rewiring projects with minimal disruption. We ensure your new electrical system provides ample power, complies with all current safety codes, and enhances the overall safety and functionality of your cherished older home. Protect your investment and your family with a professional rewire from Father and Sons Electrical.
