Serving Woodinville & the Eastside
Whole-Home Rewiring
Whole-home rewiring replaces outdated or unsafe wiring — knob-and-tube or aluminum branch circuits — that many insurers will no longer cover. Horizon Electric NW rewires in stages so you can stay in the home, coordinating with your contractor during a remodel, across Woodinville and the Eastside.

Older homes still carry knob-and-tube or early aluminum branch wiring that no longer meets modern safety expectations — and that many home insurers will not underwrite without remediation. Rewiring replaces that wiring with modern, grounded circuits sized for how the home is used today. It is the right time to address it during a remodel, before drywall goes back up, or when an inspection or insurance review flags it.
Staged so you can stay home
A full rewire does not have to mean moving out. We work in stages — room by room or zone by zone — so power stays on where you need it, and we coordinate with the general contractor when a remodel is running at the same time. Every circuit is permitted, inspected, and documented for the next sale.
Our process
- 1
Assess
We assess the existing system and run any load calculation the job requires.
- 2
Scope & quote
We scope the work to current code and give you a clear written quote.
- 3
Permit & perform
We pull the required electrical permit and complete the work to NEC 2023 and Washington WAC 296-46B standards.
- 4
Inspect
We carry the job through final inspection so it is documented for insurers and future buyers.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I have to move out during a rewire?
- Usually not. We stage the work so the household keeps power where it is needed, and sequence around a remodel when one is underway.
- Will rewiring help with insurance?
- Often, yes. Carriers frequently decline or surcharge homes with knob-and-tube or unremediated aluminum wiring; a permitted, documented rewire addresses that.
