How to Prepare for a Whole-Home Rewiring Project
Here are key steps homeowners should take:
- Plan Ahead: Schedule an inspection to understand the project scope and expected timeline.
- Clear Access: Remove furniture and clutter from affected rooms to give electricians room to work.
- Consider Temporary Living Arrangements: Some homes may require temporary relocation, especially during major rewiring.
- Understand What Will Be Updated: Depending on the project scope, rewiring may include updates to outlets, switches, light fixtures, and panels.
- Ask Questions: We can explain each step and answer questions about your new electrical system.
Preparation and timing vary based on your home’s layout, wall construction, number of circuits, wiring accessibility, and project scope. Before work begins, confirm work areas, furnishing protection, planned power interruptions, cleanup expectations, and the sequence of work. In many cases, homeowners can stay in the home during rewiring, but temporary relocation may be more practical for larger projects or when limited circuits will remain available during the work.
Common Wiring Issues Found in Older Greer Homes
An evaluation may turn up one or more of the following conditions:
- Aluminum Wiring: Associated with overheating and connection problems. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, warning signs linked to aluminum wiring concerns include hot-to-the-touch faceplates on receptacles or switches, the smell of burning plastic at outlets or switches, flickering lights, and circuits that fail to work.
- Cloth-Insulated Wires: Insulation that has degraded over time and may no longer protect conductors adequately.
- Knob-and-Tube Wiring: An older system that lacks grounding and isn’t suited for modern electrical loads. The CPSC cites knob-and-tube wiring, aging systems, and overloading as factors associated with residential electrical fire reports.
- Lack of Grounding: Increases the risk of electrical shock and damage to connected electronics.
- Insufficient Circuits: Older homes weren’t designed to support today’s appliances and devices, which can result in frequent breaker trips.
- Missing GFCI Protection: Ground fault circuit interrupter protection may be missing in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, outdoor areas, and other locations covered by current code requirements.
Frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, and burning smells near outlets are warning signs that warrant professional attention. A warning sign alone doesn’t determine project scope. Inspection findings should guide whether the right solution is a repair, device replacement, circuit work, partial rewiring, or broader system replacement. Homeowners shouldn’t open energized electrical panels or attempt work on suspected hazardous wiring.

South Carolina has adopted the 2020 National Electrical Code with state modifications as its governing electrical standard. We provide solutions that address applicable code requirements and discuss those requirements with homeowners before work begins.
