Hazardous Wiring Types in Older Georgia Homes
If your home was constructed before 1985, you may have one of these fire hazard systems behind your walls.
Knob & Tube Wiring (Pre-1950)
Lacks a ground wire, making electronic devices vulnerable. The cloth and rubber insulation becomes brittle, and contact with modern attic fiberglass insulation poses severe fire risks.
Aluminum Wiring (1965–1973)
Expands more than copper, causing loose terminals at outlets and switches. Severe oxidation produces intense resistive heat and arcing—the #1 cause of older home electrical fires.
Cloth-Insulated Wiring
Degrades and crumbles over decades, leaving bare copper conductors exposed inside wall cavities and junction boxes, risking short circuits and electrical shock.
Our Whole-Home Rewiring Process
We follow a structured 4-phase methodology to deliver code-compliant rewiring with minimal disruption.
Comprehensive Inspection
We perform a thorough inspection of the existing electrical system to identify wear, corrosion, or improper connections and determine replacement scope.
Replacement Planning
We design an optimal circuit layout, selecting premium copper Romex NM-B conductors with higher load capacity and clean routing pathways.
Careful Installation
Our electricians replace old wires, outlets, and switches with minimal wall cutting, keeping work areas protected and tidy throughout the project.
Final Safety Verification
Once complete, we conduct thorough multi-meter testing to verify grounding continuity, load balancing, and municipal code sign-off.
Serving Homeowners & Businesses Across Georgia
From our headquarters to major metropolitan areas and peaceful lake communities, VD Electrical Services provides prompt, licensed electrical contracting throughout Georgia.
Whole-Home Rewiring FAQs
Signs include homes built before 1975 with original wiring, aluminum branch wiring, 2-prong ungrounded outlets, cloth-covered cables that crumble to the touch, burning smells, flickering lights, or difficulty obtaining homeowners insurance due to outdated electrical wiring.
Yes. Aluminum wiring installed in homes between 1965 and 1973 is significantly more likely to cause electrical fires than copper. Aluminum expands more under heat, oxidizes at contact points, and causes loose connections that lead to hazardous arcing.
No. We use minimally invasive 'surgical' rewiring techniques. Our electricians fish new Romex cabling through existing wall cavities, attic spaces, and crawlspaces, keeping drywall cuts to a minimum.
Absolutely. Insurance companies frequently surcharge or deny coverage for homes with knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring. A fully rewired home with a modern grounded system increases appraisal value, ensures effortless sale transactions, and qualifies for lower insurance premiums.
