Home Rewiring in Greater Sacramento
Older homes were not wired for the way we use electricity today. Deteriorating insulation, undersized circuits, ungrounded outlets, and outdated wiring methods can limit capacity and raise real safety concerns. PR Electric rewires homes across Citrus Heights and the Sacramento area — in part or throughout — replacing aging wiring with new, properly grounded circuits sized for modern loads. Much of this work happens during remodels when walls are already open, and the whole-home rewire shown on this page is our own work during a gut remodel.

PR Electric is an owner-operated, C-10 licensed electrical contractor. Every project gets professional attention and direct accountability from the person doing the work.
Common reasons customers call
- Knob-and-tube, cloth-insulated, or aluminum branch wiring
- Two-prong outlets and a lack of grounding
- Frequent nuisance tripping, overloaded circuits, or too few circuits for the home
- Repeated troubleshooting calls that point back to deteriorating wiring
- A remodel, addition, or ADU that opens up walls and makes rewiring practical
- Insurance or real-estate requirements tied to wiring condition
What PR Electric does
- Assess the existing wiring type, condition, and capacity
- Recommend targeted or whole-home rewiring as appropriate — and whether the panel needs to grow with it
- Run new, properly sized and grounded branch circuits with device boxes set at every location
- Add the GFCI and AFCI protection current code requires
- Coordinate with remodeling work and the inspection schedule to minimize disruption
- Test every circuit and restore a clean, finished result
What affects scope & cost
Every project is different, so we scope the work to your situation rather than a one-size-fits-all package. Factors that influence scope include:
- The size of the home and number of circuits involved
- How accessible the wiring is (open walls vs. finished spaces)
- The existing wiring method being replaced
- Related panel or service upgrades to support the new circuits
How it works
- 01Wiring assessmentWe identify the wiring type, look for deterioration and past modifications, and check the panel capacity that will feed the new circuits.
- 02Scope & planWe recommend targeted or whole-home rewiring, plan the circuit layout, and align the schedule with any remodel work.
- 03PermitRewiring requires an electrical permit and inspections; we pull the permit and schedule the rough-in and final inspections.
- 04Rough-inWe run new grounded circuits and set boxes at open framing, then pass the rough inspection before walls close.
- 05Finish & testWe install devices and fixtures, energize and test each circuit, and complete the final inspection.

Home Rewiring — FAQ
Common indicators include two-prong ungrounded outlets, cloth-insulated or knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch wiring, frequent tripping, warm outlets or switches, and recurring problems that troubleshooting traces back to the wiring itself. We can inspect the wiring and tell you whether targeted repairs or a rewire makes more sense.
Not always. The approach depends on access and the scope. Where possible we minimize disruption, and rewiring is often most practical during a remodel when walls are already open.
In many cases, yes. We can prioritize the most important circuits and plan the work in stages depending on your needs and budget.
Often, but not always. A rewire adds circuits and modern protection, and an older or undersized panel may not have the space or capacity. We evaluate the panel as part of the assessment and tell you if an upgrade is needed.
Yes. Rewiring requires an electrical permit with a rough-in inspection before walls are closed and a final inspection when the work is complete. We handle both as part of the project.
