Home Rewiring in Austin, TX

Whole-home rewiring in Austin for homes with knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum wiring, or outdated cloth-sheathed wire.

Austin’s Hyde Park, Clarksville, Bouldin Creek, and East Austin neighborhoods are full of pre-1960 homes still carrying knob-and-tube or early aluminum wiring that no longer meets modern load requirements and often voids homeowner’s insurance. Arc Nemesis Electric specializes in whole-home rewiring for Austin’s older housing stock — replacing the original wiring system with modern copper, bringing the panel and grounding up to code, and passing Austin Energy inspection in a single coordinated project.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Rewiring

Signs your home needs rewiring: the house was built before 1970 and has never had the wiring inspected; you have two-prong ungrounded outlets throughout; your electrician finds knob-and-tube or aluminum branch circuit wiring; breakers trip frequently on standard loads; your homeowner’s insurance is threatening cancellation due to wiring type. Arc Nemesis Electric offers wiring inspections for older Austin homes — if knob-and-tube or aluminum is present, we give you a full rewire assessment and flat-rate quote.
Rewiring a 1,000–1,500 sq ft Austin bungalow typically runs $8,000–$15,000. Larger homes from 1,500–2,500 sq ft run $12,000–$20,000. Pricing depends on the number of circuits, wall accessibility, and whether the panel also needs upgrading. Arc Nemesis Electric provides a detailed flat-rate quote after inspecting the home — no billing surprises at the end of a multi-day project.
A typical 1,200–1,500 sq ft Austin bungalow takes 3–5 days. Larger homes or those with difficult wall access (plaster walls, finished attics) can run 5–8 days. Arc Nemesis Electric minimizes disruption where possible — keeping partial power to livable areas during the project where code allows — and sequences the Austin Energy inspection to happen immediately after completion.
In most cases, yes — with some interruption. Arc Nemesis Electric phases the rewiring to maintain power to kitchen and bedroom circuits as long as possible. During panel work and final connections, a full shutdown is required (typically a half-day). We discuss the sequencing during the quote visit so you can plan accordingly.
Homeowner’s insurance does not typically pay for elective rewiring. However, if your insurer is threatening non-renewal due to knob-and-tube wiring — increasingly common in Austin for homes built before 1950 — the rewiring cost is necessary to maintain coverage. Some insurers will cover fire damage caused by faulty wiring if the home was properly insured at time of loss. Contact your insurer before and after the rewire for documentation.
