Safe Whole Home Rewiring Done Right
We replace outdated wiring to improve safety, power performance, and code compliance throughout your home.
Whole Home Rewiring
If your home has old, damaged, or overloaded wiring, a whole home rewiring project can make a major difference in safety, comfort, and daily performance. At High Level Electric, we provide whole home rewiring in Sacramento to replace outdated electrical wiring, bring your system closer to current code standards, and support the way modern homes use power today. If your lights flicker, breakers trip often, outlets feel warm, or you still have older two-prong outlets, your wiring may be due for a full upgrade.
Whole home rewiring is the process of removing or bypassing unsafe, aging, or undersized wiring and installing new electrical wiring throughout the house. This service is often needed in older homes with knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum wiring, brittle insulation, ungrounded circuits, or pieced-together past repairs. Rewiring can also be the right move if you are planning a remodel, adding new appliances, upgrading your electrical panel, or trying to improve overall electrical capacity and reliability.
We start with an on-site assessment so we can inspect the current condition of the electrical system and understand your goals. We look at the age of the home, the existing panel, circuit layout, grounding, outlet condition, switch locations, lighting circuits, dedicated appliance circuits, and any known trouble spots. After that, we provide a free, honest, upfront estimate and explain the scope clearly, so you know what needs to be done and why.
A full house rewiring project may include:
- Replacing outdated branch circuit wiring
- Upgrading grounded outlets and GFCI protection where required
- Installing AFCI protection for improved fire safety
- Correcting overloaded or improperly wired circuits
- Replacing damaged switches, outlets, and junctions
- Adding dedicated circuits for kitchens, laundry rooms, HVAC equipment, or home offices
- Updating lighting wiring and switch legs
- Improving grounding and bonding
- Labeling circuits for easier future maintenance
- Coordinating electrical panel upgrades when needed
Every home is different, so the exact scope depends on the condition of the existing wiring and how accessible the walls, attic, crawl space, and framing are. In some homes, rewiring can be done with limited wall openings. In others, more access is needed to safely run new wiring where it belongs. We walk you through the plan before work begins and communicate clearly during the project, so there are no surprises.
One of the biggest reasons homeowners call us for house rewiring is safety. Old wiring can increase the risk of electrical shock, nuisance tripping, equipment damage, and electrical fire. Many older systems were not designed for today’s demand from refrigerators, microwaves, chargers, computers, televisions, electric ranges, space heaters, and HVAC equipment all running at once. A proper rewiring job helps your electrical system handle modern loads more safely and more efficiently.
Another major benefit is performance. New wiring can help eliminate common issues like dimming lights, dead outlets, inconsistent power, and circuits that bog down under normal use. Rewiring also makes it easier to add recessed lighting, ceiling fans, smart switches, USB outlets, EV charging, and other electrical upgrades in the future. If you are investing in your home, updating the wiring is one of the smartest long-term improvements you can make.
At High Level Electric, we handle whole home rewiring with a strong focus on planning, workmanship, and code compliance. We are licensed, insured, and bonded, and we follow local and national electrical codes on every project. Our team also handles permitting and inspections when required, which helps make the process easier for you. Many homeowners want a headache-free project, and that is exactly what we aim to provide.
As a locally owned company based at 4246 2nd Ave, Sacramento, CA 95817, we know the types of homes and electrical systems found across the Greater Sacramento area. We work with homeowners who want clean, professional service, good communication, and work done the right way the first time. We are proud to have a perfect 5-star rating on Yelp and Google, and we work hard to earn that trust on every visit.
You may want to consider a full rewiring service if you notice any of these warning signs:
- Frequent breaker trips or blown fuses
- Flickering or dimming lights
- Buzzing outlets or switches
- Burning smells near outlets or the panel
- Discolored outlet covers or scorch marks
- Ungrounded two-prong outlets
- Old aluminum or knob-and-tube wiring
- Not enough outlets for modern use
- Electrical issues during home inspection
- Major remodeling plans
In many cases, whole home rewiring goes hand in hand with other upgrades like electrical panel replacement, surge protection, dedicated circuits, and home energy improvements. If your current panel is undersized or outdated, we can review whether a panel upgrade should happen at the same time. Taking care of the full electrical system together can improve efficiency and help avoid repeat work later.
We believe customers should feel comfortable with both the work and the payment process. That is why we offer free estimates and transparent pricing. Payment is collected after the job is completed, and we accept credit and debit cards, tap to pay through Housecall Pro, Apple Pay, checks, cash, Zelle, Venmo, Klarna financing, and in-house financing options.

Whole Home Rewiring FAQs
If you're thinking about rewiring your house, these are the questions we hear most often from Sacramento homeowners. We want you to feel informed, comfortable, and confident before you move forward.
- How do I know if my home needs whole home rewiring?
Common signs include flickering lights, warm outlets or switches, tripped breakers, buzzing sounds, two-prong outlets, aluminum wiring, or an older home with outdated electrical wiring. If your home struggles with modern power needs or you are planning a remodel, a full rewire may be the safest long-term fix. At High Level Electric, we provide a free on-site assessment in Sacramento and give you an honest recommendation based on your home’s wiring, panel, and overall electrical system.
- Is whole home rewiring worth it?
In many homes, yes. Whole home rewiring can improve safety, support today’s appliances and electronics, reduce nuisance electrical problems, and help bring the property closer to current code standards. It can also make future upgrades easier, like a panel upgrade, EV charger installation, lighting improvements, or added circuits. We focus on doing the job right the first time, so you get safer and more reliable power throughout the home.
- Will you need to open up my walls?
Sometimes, yes. A whole house rewire usually requires access behind walls, ceilings, or crawl spaces so we can remove or bypass outdated wiring and run new circuits. We always plan the work carefully to limit damage as much as possible. Before we start, we explain the process clearly, walk you through what to expect, and make sure there are no surprises.
- Do you handle permits and inspections for rewiring work?
Yes. We handle permitting and inspections when they are required, so you do not have to manage that on your own. Our team follows local and national electrical codes and keeps safety at the center of every project. High Level Electric is licensed, bonded, and insured, and our California electrical contractor license number is #1142142.
- How much does whole home rewiring cost?
The cost depends on the size of the home, the age of the wiring, access to the work areas, the number of circuits needed, and whether related upgrades are needed, such as a panel replacement or grounded outlets. That is why we start with a free estimate and honest on-site evaluation. We offer upfront, transparent pricing, and payment is collected after the job is completed. We also accept cards, Apple Pay, checks, cash, Zelle, Venmo, Klarna, and in-house financing.

Why Sacramento homeowners trust us
Real feedback on safe, clean electrical work, clear pricing, and service that gets the job done right
"I highly recommend High Level Electric and Damell for any electrical work. Damell has completed all of the electrical work on my home, and I have always been impressed with how fair, professional, and reliable he is. He works quickly, does quality work, and is always willing to fix any issues that come up. During my recent kitchen remodel, Damell was able to quickly install the electrical work needed so I could continue using my kitchen and keep the project moving without unnecessary delays. He has consistently gone above and beyond to make sure the job is done right. If you’re looking for an honest, professional, and dependable electrician, I highly recommend High Level Electric!"
"Damell was able to come to my property within an hour. It was a small matter that just required fiddling a bit with the breaker box, that he solved in a few minutes. He took his time explaining the situation and the cause, educating me on the matter so I would know what to look out for next time. Damell is an honest and courteous professional that I would highly recommend."
"Wonderful company, Damell came out to give us a quote and he was able to do the service the same day for such a fair price. Great work and great people!"
"High Level Electric responded to an urgent call to help us and a contractor determine if some old knob and tube wiring in our 100 yr old house was live. They identified which circuits were live and which weren’t. We needed a plan to replace the live circuits in order to continue with a construction project. They identified all the outlets, light, and appliances powered by the old wiring, and developed a clear plan to update it all. They were here for us when we urgently needed help. Damell, their leader, projected professional confidence and dealt with us in a respectful and kind manner."
"It’s always a pleasure working with Damell. He’s a real pro and he can do anything! I highly recommend High Level Electric"
"Nice service nice guy very good deal thanks damell"
"I would give High Level Electric the highest rating possible: knowledge, professionalism, thorough detail, communication, timeliness, and many other character and business integrity traits that are so lacking in the trades today. He is very personal, and takes time to go over options available after inspecting your needs, answering your questions and making sure you understand in layman's terms. He did difficult rewiring in my 1965 cottage of both walls and ceiling, installing new outlets, repairing old outlets and light sockets in my rear and rear porch, bathroom, and kitchen, and installed ceiling lights in my living room and bedroom. Very efficient. Night and day difference! Reasonable price. Call Dammel and crew! Excellence is certainly his trademark. Richard O. Citrus Heights"
"I've used Damell and HLE for electrical work in both of our homes, and I can't recommend them enough. Damell is timely, personable, and incredibly attentive. Having previously witnessed the trauma of a house fire, he truly understood our concerns and handled everything with exceptional care. In our older home, he installed several outlets in key areas to safely support electric bidets, the washing machine, and a wall-mounted TV. He also assessed all of our existing outlets, replacing those that were outdated or unsafe. I really appreciated how transparent he was. He clearly explained what needed to be addressed right away versus what could wait. There was never any pressure or upselling, just honest guidance to help us make the best decisions for our home. When we moved into our newer home, we didn't hesitate to call him again. This time, he installed an outlet in the garage so we could safely run a second refrigerator. Damell's professionalism, integrity, and quality of work have earned our complete trust. We'll definitely continue to use HLE for all of our electrical needs."
"Damell came out to help us with what seemed like a simple light switch box move but he then discovered the original wiring was improper and it was causing intermittent malfunction at the switch. I appreciated his expertise and his calm and patient mannerisms in troubleshooting the issue. I highly recommend High Level Electric!"
"If you need an honest electrician this is your company. They don’t upsell you with stuff you don’t need."

"He did all my electrical work took out all the nob and tube and put Romex in excellent job on time cleaned up after himself very professional"

He was incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain what was going on in a way we could understand.

What stood out most to me was how trustworthy and honest he is—no upselling, no cutting corners, just straightforward and high-quality work. He took the time to explain everything in a way that was easy to understand and made sure I felt confident that I was making the right decision. I’ll definitely be using him again for any future projects!"
"If I could give High Level Electric beyond 5 stars, I would most definitely do so. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY! Damell has been our electrician for 6yrs ano counting and the work is immaculate. The work is very clean, very professionally executed. He's very knowledgeable, respectful towards his clients and their space and will walk you through the process. Even offers multiple solutions depending on what your needs are. He's changed out outlets, installed security cameras throughout my entire home, installed recessed lighting in my living room and provided my main panel with surge protection without any problems. Very reasonably priced and they're willing to work with you as well. I've never had an issue with this company. If you want safe and reliable work High Level Electric is THAT company!"
"We had ongoing electrical issues at our home such as flickering lights, breakers constantly tripping, and lights dimming every time we used appliances like the microwave or air fryer. We called High Level Electric, and Damell quickly diagnosed the problem. They found that multiple circuits were improperly tied together and needed to be separated to properly distribute the electrical load. During their inspection of our main panel, they also discovered corroded aluminum wiring that was affecting performance and safety. We decided to move forward with a full 200 amp panel upgrade, along with circuit separation and installation of a new dedicated electrical oven circuit. High Level Electric handled everything from permits to city inspections and utility coordination, and even got our power restored the same day. The new panel includes FireGuard (AFCI) breakers, and when a few issues came up, they took the time to troubleshoot and fix everything at no additional cost, which really showed their integrity and professionalism. They also had to open up part of the wall, but patched it cleanly and left everything looking great. Now our lights no longer flicker or dim, even when running multiple appliances, and we have plenty of space in our upgraded panel for future additions. If you’re looking for a reliable electrician for a panel upgrade, troubleshooting, or home electrical work, I definitely recommend High Level Electric. We will for sure be calling them back for our upcoming ADU project."
"Damell is an outstanding electrician! Honest and skilled as they come. He gets to the root of your electrical issues and is attentive to your needs throughout the whole process. Can’t recommend him enough!"
"I had TVs mounted by this business. They were quick, efficient and reliable. I had no clue about mounting anything so I had them come and help. They were very knowledgeable about the process, electrical wiring and were very quick. As a bonus they also mounted my PS5 and accessories. If you’re looking for anything electrical don’t hesitate to give them a call. They will help you with any and everything you need."
"Best electrician out here!! I highly recommend high level electric for all your electrical needs! If you’re looking for somebody who is knowledgeable and trustworthy give them a call! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
