Warning Signs Your Melbourne Home Needs Rewiring

Home Built Before 1970

Homes over 50 years old likely have outdated wiring inadequate for modern electrical demands and safety standards.

Aluminum Wiring or Knob-and-Tube

These dangerous wiring types cause fires and fail to meet current codes—replacement is essential for safety.

Discolored Outlets & Burning Smells

Scorch marks on outlets, burning odors, or sparking indicate dangerous wiring failures requiring immediate attention.

Frequently Tripping Breakers

Constant breaker trips, blown fuses, or flickering lights signal wiring unable to handle your home’s electrical load.

Complete Rewiring Solutions for Melbourne Homes

Melbourne’s older homes—especially in Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, and Miami Beach—often contain dangerous outdated wiring that wasn’t designed for today’s electrical demands. Aluminum wiring, ungrounded systems, cloth-wrapped cables, and deteriorated insulation create serious fire risks. Salt air and humidity accelerate wire corrosion faster than in other climates. Mister Sparky’s licensed electricians specialize in rewiring older homes using modern materials and techniques that minimize wall damage. We ensure your home’s electrical system is safe, reliable, and code-compliant, protecting your family and property while supporting all your modern electrical needs.

Whole House Rewiring

Complete home rewiring replaces every circuit from the panel to every outlet, switch, and fixture. This comprehensive approach ensures consistent safety throughout your home. Our electricians carefully plan wire routes, fish new cables through walls and attics minimizing damage, install modern grounded outlets at every location, upgrade to current electrical code requirements, and patch/repair any necessary access holes. We work room-by-room, maintaining power to unaffected areas when possible. Melbourne homes benefit from marine-grade connections in coastal areas and proper protection against humidity. Complete rewiring typically takes 3-7 days depending on home size, but provides decades of safe, reliable electrical service.

Whole house rewiring includes:

Aluminum Wiring Replacement

Homes built 1965-1973 often contain aluminum wiring that expands/contracts with temperature changes, loosening connections and causing fires. Aluminum oxidizes, creating resistance and heat at connection points. This wiring type is a documented fire hazard requiring professional replacement. We remove all aluminum circuits, install copper wiring throughout, use approved connectors where aluminum must remain temporarily, and ensure proper connections at every device. Insurance companies increasingly require aluminum wiring replacement or expensive additional coverage. Copper wiring eliminates fire risk, improves reliability, and restores full home value and insurability.

Knob-and-Tube Wiring Removal

This obsolete wiring system from homes built before 1950 lacks grounding, uses deteriorating cloth/rubber insulation, and can’t safely handle modern electrical loads. The installation method—exposed wires on ceramic insulators—is unsafe by today’s standards and often shows damage from rodents or age. Most insurance companies won’t cover homes with active knob-and-tube wiring. We carefully remove all knob-and-tube circuits, install modern NM cable or conduit systems, provide proper grounding throughout, and bring your home to current electrical code. This essential upgrade protects your family, restores insurability, and supports modern appliances safely.

Partial Rewiring & Circuit Updates

Not every home needs complete rewiring—sometimes specific circuits or rooms require updates. We rewire problem areas, high-demand circuits for kitchens and laundry rooms, additions and renovations, or circuits with damaged wiring. This targeted approach costs less than whole-house rewiring while addressing specific safety concerns. Our electricians assess which circuits need replacement, match new wiring to existing where appropriate, and ensure seamless integration. Partial rewiring is ideal for homes with mixed-age wiring where some circuits are adequate while others pose risks or can’t handle modern loads.

Don’t risk your family’s safety with dangerous outdated wiring. Mister Sparky’s licensed electricians provide professional rewiring services that eliminate fire hazards, support modern electrical demands, and ensure code compliance. Melbourne’s older homes deserve safe, reliable electrical systems. Call (321) 345-1832 now for a comprehensive wiring evaluation and free rewiring quote

What is House Rewiring?

House rewiring is where you have licensed electricians replace all of the wiring in your home, wiring that otherwise runs unnoticed through your walls, floors, and ceilings. It is a very extensive process but one that will always be required at some point as electrical systems wear down due to age, surges, and changes to power needs.

What to Expect from Our Melbourne House Rewiring

House rewiring in Melbourne, FL is no simple task. It’s important that you be prepared for the process as much as we are. House rewiring can be a very messy process especially if we have to cut into your walls.

The Mess

Our team of qualified electricians will use advanced methods to help rewire your home without having to take out large portions of your drywall. This is done by moving the new wires through your walls with access points. In some cases, however, we will need to cut access points to make this process easier and that is when things get a little messy. Rest assured that during your Melbourne, FL house rewiring, it is possible to remain in your house while the process is happening, but we will have to turn off the electricity to any areas of the home where we are working. We always try to keep the mess and the disruption to a minimum.

The Work

For this project, you can expect our team to start by opening your ceilings, your walls, lifting up some of your carpet and lifting up floorboards depending on where we are working. This gives us an access point through which we can replace wiring and cabling that then gets connected to your electrical circuits and mounting boxes. If you need any additional work done like outlet installation for new outlets or hardwired smoke detector installation so that you can conform to updated Florida codes, we can handle all of these installation processes while we work on your house rewiring. The final steps include installing your fixtures, faceplates, and sockets, and testing the entire home.

The Timeline

The projected timeline will vary depending on several factors like the size and age of your home. Melbourne homes that are more than 40 years old can take at least one week for whole house rewiring whereas smaller, newer homes might only take a few days. We will always keep you informed with a more accurate estimate based on your circumstances.

Melbourne, FL House Rewiring FAQs

Do I have to do anything to prepare for house rewiring?

During your assessment our team of licensed electricians will discuss where we plan to access your wiring and if there’s any furniture in the way, indoor plants, or rugs, we will ask that you move them or we can move them for you. Depending on the layout and the scope of your job, you might only have to move furniture in specific rooms at any time but anything that you leave is best covered with blankets or tarps to protect it from the dust that we generate.

Is there anything else I should have electricians do during house rewiring?

When you are going through the trouble of investing in whole house rewiring in Melbourne, FL it is best to consider upgrades to other parts of your electrical system if you can afford it because it can all be done at once. Note that a house rewiring will usually require a new electrical panel especially if yours is outdated, and new circuits wired to your updated wiring. If you have outdated outlets, you might consider having our team install things like GFCI outlets around sinks in your bathroom or kitchen, and other repairs to bring your home up to code.

Do you have to tear down my drywall for house rewiring?

Our local electricians in Melbourne, FL have advanced tools and techniques to help minimize how much we have to cut into your drywall. For many parts of a home rewiring, we can fish the wires through your existing walls or ceilings using openings that are already cut into your drywall for things like your outlets or lights. However this depends on the layout of your home or office, how many levels you have, and other factors which we will discuss during your assessment.
