Old Home Rewiring

Older homes often have outdated electrical systems that no longer meet the demands of modern appliances or safety standards. If you live in an older home and need to update or replace your electrical wiring, Tempest Electric is here to help. We provide expert rewiring services for older homes to ensure your electrical system is safe and functional. Benefits of rewiring an old home include:

• Improved Safety: Older wiring may be unsafe due to wear and tear, outdated materials, or faulty connections. Rewiring ensures your home is up to code and significantly reduces the risk of electrical hazards.
• Increased Capacity: Older homes often have electrical systems that can’t handle the power demands of modern appliances, air conditioning, or home electronics. Rewiring can upgrade your system to meet current energy needs.
• Code Compliance: If you’re planning a renovation or selling your home, rewiring ensures your home is compliant with modern electrical codes and regulations.
• Upgraded Fixtures & Outlets: During the rewiring process, we can update outlets, light switches, and electrical fixtures to modern standards, adding more outlets or upgrading to newer, safer models.

Knob and Tube Rewiring

Many older homes still have knob and tube wiring, which was once a common method of electrical installation. However, knob and tube wiring is outdated, unsafe, and often no longer meets modern electrical standards. If your home still has knob and tube wiring, it’s important to have it replaced to ensure safety. Tempest Electric offers specialized knob and tube rewiring services to bring your home’s electrical system up to code and improve its safety.

• Safety Concerns: Knob and tube wiring can be a fire hazard, especially if the insulation surrounding the wires has deteriorated. Replacing knob and tube wiring can greatly reduce the risk of electrical fires.
• Modern Electrical Needs: Knob and tube wiring does not support the power demands of modern homes, which require more outlets and stronger circuits to support modern appliances and electronics.
• Code Compliance: Knob and tube wiring no longer meets current electrical codes. Rewiring ensures your home is compliant with safety regulations.

Kitchen & Bathroom Upgrades

Home renovations often include kitchen and bathroom upgrades, which require specialized electrical work. At Tempest Electric, we provide expert wiring services to upgrade the electrical systems in these rooms, ensuring they meet both aesthetic and safety requirements.

• Kitchen Wiring: Upgrading your kitchen involves adding circuits to power modern appliances, such as dishwashers, refrigerators, ovens, and microwaves. We can install new outlets, dedicated circuits, and proper lighting to enhance your kitchen’s functionality.
• Bathroom Wiring: Bathrooms require specialized wiring for lighting, exhaust fans, and outlets. We also ensure that all electrical work complies with local codes for safety in wet environments.
• GFCI Outlets: We install Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and other wet areas, which protect you from electrical shock by cutting power if a fault is detected.
