How Do You Plan For a Full House Electrical Rewire?

Home electrical work

No home electrical repair is something to be taken lightly. While there are many home improvement projects that you can handle on your own, hiring a Vancouver electrician and professional residential electrical services company is the best way to stay safe and be assured that your project is completed in a timely and affordable manner. For larger projects such as complete rewiring, a team of professional electricians is a must! Lucky for you, the local electricians at Wireman Electric are some of the best in the business and are here to help with all of your home electrical wiring needs.

When it comes to full house electrical rewire and large-scale home electrical repair, there are a few things that can help your project go smoothly. Below are three tips from the Vancouver electrician team at Wireman Electric.

Prepare your Home and Expect the Unexpected

While our local electricians at Wireman Electric will do their best to minimize impact, a full house electrical rewire is a large undertaking no matter which Vancouver electrician is at the helm. You can do a lot of prep work on your own to help speed the process along. Removing decorations from the walls, clearing work areas, and covering furniture or other expensive items will help both you and the local electricians in the long run. Additionally, it is often easiest to move out while the professionals are at work, and it is never too early to start looking at a hotel or short-term rental options.

Create a Personal Budget

The cost of your project will largely depend on the age and size of your home, as well as the scope of the rewiring and repair project. Before signing any paperwork, do yourself a favour and create a budget that you are comfortable with. From there, you can start working with your electrical company to set parameters and see what is feasible or not. You may also be able to take on some tasks on your end to help save money on the overall project.

Secure a Detailed Contract

Large-scale projects such as a home electrical repair require a comprehensive contract to protect both you and the electricians. As you work with the professionals at Wireman Electric, make sure all details are covered and ask for clarification where you need it. Full house rewires are messy by nature, and you need to ensure that your contract includes cleanup and repair for any necessary holes put in the walls or ceilings.

Home electrical wiring projects are not easy, but the experts at Wireman Electric are here to ease the load as much as possible. On top of being the most experienced and professional electricians in Vancouver, our team also pledges to work efficiently to limit the impact on your home life and provide the most affordable option available.

Very friendly, fast and efficient. Charges by time but definitely doesn't waste time. The job was done within 5-10 minutes and everything is working as it should.

Full disclosure - I am Harm's sister but I've decided that it's finally time to leave his company a review. You can see through the 200 + reviews that Harm and his team are reliable. My husband and I have used Wireman for a number of years for various projects. They do great work and leave the site clean. On top of that, Harm is easy to deal with and is honest when providing electrical advice. Keep up the great work!

Harm was extremely professional and committed, persisting to find a solution for our portable power situation. He worked with us to get our portable onto a dedicated electrical service instead of being powered by a gas generator! As a non-profit organization, every penny counts and this will lower our costs and our carbon footprint. Thank you to Harm and your team for a great job!!

Second time using their services because I was impressed by the great service they provided regarding installing my bathroom fan. Ali came this time to fix 2 outlets in my kitchen. After checking both out, it turned out only 1 needed fixing. He explained to me what the issue was and also checked out why 1 outlet that had a smart plug that was not working. Don't call anyone else! This company is the best.

Wire-Man Electric is awesome! Harman and his crew are great! They came on time, were professional and cleaned up before they left. I would recommend this company to do any electrical work.
