Frequently Asked Questions
When should I consider rewiring my house?
You should consider rewiring your house if it’s older (built before the 60s), if you experience frequent tripped breakers, flickering lights, or if your home’s electrical system doesn’t meet modern power demands.
How long does a whole house rewiring project take?
The length of time depends on the size and age of your home, but typically, whole house rewiring can take several days to a few weeks. A professional electrician from Absolute Services will provide a more accurate estimate after inspecting your property.

How can I tell if my home needs rewiring?
Signs that your home may need rewiring include frequent blown fuses, flickering or dimming lights, electrical shocks, or sparks from outlets. If you notice any of these, it’s important to contact a professional electrician right away.
Is rewiring an old house dangerous?
