Whole House Rewiring for Port Sanilac homes and businesses
Around Port Sanilac, many homes are older farmhouses and village houses that have been updated in stages. It is common to find a modern panel feeding some very old wiring. For whole house rewiring in Sanilac County, our electricians sort out what can stay and what should be replaced.
Knob and tube and aluminum wiring in Michigan homes
Knob and tube wiring was standard until about the 1940s. It has no ground wire, its insulation becomes brittle with age, and it was never designed to be buried in attic insulation. Aluminum branch wiring, used in many homes built from the mid-1960s to the mid-1970s, expands and contracts more than copper and can loosen at connections. Both can make a home harder to insure and sell. A rewire in Port Sanilac removes that worry and gives you grounded outlets and enough circuits for modern life.
