When your home's wiring has reached the end of its safe lifespan, patching individual problems is not enough. Whole-home rewiring replaces all the electrical wiring in your house with modern, code-compliant cable, installs a new panel, adds proper grounding and arc-fault protection, and gives you an electrical system that will serve your home safely for decades. Unity Power & Light provides complete rewiring services for homes throughout Aiken County.

We work in occupied homes, keeping essential circuits energized throughout the project and minimizing disruption to your daily life. Our process is designed to be efficient, clean, and transparent, with flat-rate pricing that covers everything from the permit to the final inspection.

What's Included in a Whole-Home Rewire

All New Branch Wiring

Every circuit in the house replaced with modern NM-B copper cable. Properly sized conductors for each circuit, run through attic, walls, and crawl space to every outlet, switch, and fixture.

New Outlets & Switches

All outlets and switches replaced with new devices. GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, garages, and outdoors. Grounded three-prong outlets throughout the home.

Safety Upgrades

AFCI protection for all bedroom circuits, GFCI protection for all required locations, hardwired smoke detectors, and proper grounding throughout the entire system.

📄

Permits & Inspections

Electrical permit, rough-in inspection before walls are closed, and final inspection after completion. All handled by us as part of the project.

Wall Patching

Access holes patched with drywall. We minimize wall openings by routing through attics and crawl spaces wherever possible. Final taping and painting are available as an add-on or can be handled by a drywall contractor.

Our Rewiring Process

  2. Permit & Scheduling: We pull the electrical permit and schedule the work at a time that works for your household.
  3. Rough-In Wiring: New wiring is installed throughout the home. We keep essential circuits energized during this phase so you have power for daily needs. Duration: 3-6 days depending on home size.
  4. Rough-In Inspection: Aiken County inspector reviews all wiring before walls are closed.
