Home Rewiring Services in Utah and Salt Lake Counties

Professional. Safe. Up to Code.

If your home’s wiring is old, unreliable, or simply not keeping up with your modern electrical needs, RyCo Electric is here to help. We specialize in full and partial home rewiring for older properties, remodels, and growing families across Utah and Salt Lake counties. Our licensed electricians deliver clean, code-compliant work with minimal disruption to your daily life.

Signs Your Home Might Need Rewiring

Not sure if it’s time to rewire your home? Here are common warning signs:

Lights that flicker, dim, or buzz
Outlets that feel warm or look scorched
Breakers tripping frequently
Two-prong outlets (no grounding)
Aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring
No GFCI protection in bathrooms or kitchens
Burning smells or occasional sparks

If your home was built before the 1980s and hasn’t been rewired, it’s worth getting a professional inspection. RyCo Electric can assess your system and let you know exactly what’s going on.

The Dangers of Outdated Wiring

Old or damaged wiring doesn’t just slow things down—it creates real safety risks. Faulty wiring is a leading cause of house fires and can put your family and property in harm’s way.

Fire Risk: Brittle or frayed wires can spark behind walls.
Shock Hazard: Ungrounded or exposed wiring increases the chance of electrical shock.
Code Violations: Older systems may not meet current safety standards.
Insurance Issues: Some policies won’t cover homes with known hazardous wiring like aluminum or knob-and-tube.

Upgrading your home’s wiring ensures a safer, more reliable electrical system—and better peace of mind.

What to Expect During a Rewiring Project

We get it—rewiring sounds like a big job. At RyCo Electric, we take pride in clean, organized work that minimizes disruption. Here’s how the process works:

Initial Assessment: We evaluate your current system and talk through your power needs.
Permitting: We handle all the necessary permits and plan inspections with your local city.
Strategic Access: We rewire through attics, basements, or crawl spaces whenever possible to reduce drywall damage.
New Wiring & Outlets: We install grounded wiring, modern outlets, and updated switches.
Final Testing & Cleanup: Every connection is tested and verified before we patch, clean up, and walk you through the updates.

Most projects are completed in phases and can be worked around your living schedule.

The Benefits of Rewiring Your Home

Rewiring might seem like a behind-the-walls job, but the benefits are real and visible:

Improved Safety: Modern wiring and GFCIs reduce the risk of shocks and fire.
Support for Modern Loads: Power today’s appliances, EV chargers, and smart home tech.
Higher Resale Value: Homebuyers love knowing the wiring is new and up to code.
Fewer Outages: Say goodbye to tripped breakers and overloaded circuits.
Peace of Mind: Know your family and electronics are protected.

Full vs. Partial Home Rewiring

Not every project requires a full rewire. Depending on your situation, we may recommend:

Partial Rewiring: Ideal for remodeling a kitchen, adding a basement suite, or upgrading a panel.
Full Rewiring: Best for homes with outdated systems, major safety concerns, or poor layout.

We’ll walk you through both options, explain what makes sense, and never push you to do more than needed. Our goal is a system that’s safe, future-ready, and cost-effective.
