Whole House Rewiring in Pigeon Falls, WI
Old wiring was never designed for the way we use power now. If your Pigeon Falls home still has knob and tube, cloth-covered cable or 1960s aluminum branch wiring, whole house rewiring replaces it with grounded copper circuits and gives you outlets where you actually need them.

Wisconsin has a lot of older housing, and the wiring inside tells its age. Knob and tube from before the 1940s has no ground and insulation that turns brittle. Aluminum wiring from the mid 1960s to mid 1970s loosens at connections and overheats. Either can make a home hard to insure or sell. A rewire starts with a plan: we map existing circuits, agree where new outlets, switches and lights go, then replace the wiring in stages and finish with a new panel layout, permit sign-off and labeled circuits.
Thunderstorms roll across western Wisconsin hard in summer, and winter cold arrives early. Around Pigeon Falls that brings storm-damaged services, surge-damaged electronics and plenty of interest in backup generators. We handle the emergency calls and the upgrades that prevent the next one.
Pigeon Falls is a regular stop for our crews, as are Whitehall, Hixton and Blair close by.

Whole House Rewiring questions from Pigeon Falls customers
How much does it cost to rewire a house in Pigeon Falls?
Whole house rewiring cost depends on the size of the home, the number of stories, wall construction and how accessible the attic and basement are. Plaster and lath takes more care than drywall. We walk the house and provide a detailed written quote.
Do I have to move out during a rewire?
Usually not. We work in sections and restore power to the lived-in parts of the house at the end of each day. Expect some dust and a few days without power in the area being worked on.
Is knob and tube wiring dangerous?
It is not automatically unsafe, but it is ungrounded, often overloaded, and the insulation is well past its design life. Covering it with attic insulation is a known fire risk. Most insurers want it replaced.
How long does a rewire take?
A typical single-family home takes one to two weeks depending on size and access. A partial rewire can be a matter of days.
