Many old homes are wired with outdated cloth wiring.  Cloth wiring may pose a fire hazard and should be replaced.  This type of wiring is no longer manufactured or sold, and the outmoded technology actually becomes more dangerous over time since the cloth becomes brittle and can fall apart.

Old homes pose other wiring problems as well.  Typically, when these homes were built or wired, the electrical demand was low (by today's standards), and the old wiring often is not sufficient to handle the load we now require.  In addition, because of the low electrical demand of the time, many older homes do not have a sufficient number of outlets, and the outlets that do exist may not be wired to safely handle the amperage used on the circuit.

Absolute Best Service Company specializes in rewiring older homes.  Older homes were often built with impeding framing techniques, which create a challenge for rewiring and render modern snaking methods practically useless.  With years of experience, we have developed our own techniques to minimize (and sometimes eliminate) the need to open walls for the rewiring project, allowing you to maintain existing wall treatments that may be difficult or impossible to replace.  Whether your old home is a sprawling mansion or a charming cottage, we can unobtrusively rewire it to code, allowing access to all the modern conveniences you wish to use in a safe manner, adding value and peace of mind.
