Many homes in Western and Central Pennsylvania were built decades before modern electrical loads existed. Knob and tube, cloth-insulated cable, and two-wire ungrounded circuits were never designed for today's kitchens, electronics, and HVAC equipment.
RCC Electric rewires homes room by room with care for your plaster, trim, and floors. We plan wire routes through basements, attics, and closets to keep wall openings small, and we work with you on a schedule that keeps the house livable during the project.
A rewire is also the perfect time to add outlets where you actually need them, upgrade lighting, add dedicated kitchen circuits, and bring the panel up to date. You end up with a safer, more useful home and wiring that is ready for decades to come.

Frequently asked questions
Can I stay in my home during a rewire?
Usually yes. We work in sections and restore power to living areas at the end of each day whenever possible.
How long does a whole home rewire take?
It depends on size and access. Many homes take one to two weeks. We give you a clear timeline with your free estimate.
Will you damage my plaster walls?
We keep openings as small as possible and route wire through accessible spaces. Small patches may be needed, and we explain exactly where before we start.
