Knob-and-tube, cloth-insulated and ungrounded wiring replaced with modern grounded circuits in Bountiful — planned around your house, permitted, and warrantied for five years.
Rewiring is the job people put off longest and regret waiting on most. In Bountiful it comes up for a specific reason. Bountiful has a deep bench of 1950s and 60s homes that have been remodeled two or three times, which usually means a modern kitchen sitting on top of a service that never got touched.
Bountiful has a deep bench of 1950s and 60s homes that have been remodeled two or three times, which usually means a modern kitchen sitting on top of a service that never got touched. Here is what that means on the ground.
Rewiring an older house is a routing problem before it is an electrical one. Where the wire can travel through the structure decides how much finish comes off, and that decides most of the cost. We walk it and plan it before we open anything.
Bountiful is served by its own municipal utility, Bountiful City Light & Power, so the meter coordination goes through the city rather than Rocky Mountain Power. We rewire throughout Bountiful and Davis County, and we can phase the work so the house stays livable while it happens.
The original wiring method in pre-1950 homes. It has no ground, its insulation embrittles with age, and insurers frequently will not write a policy over it.
Mid-century cloth-covered branch wiring cracks and sheds at the terminations, which is exactly where the heat is. Replacement is the only real fix.
Late-60s and early-70s aluminum branch wiring has known connection failure modes. Remediation ranges from approved connectors to full replacement.
Two-prong outlets throughout a house mean no equipment ground. Modern electronics and appliances assume one is there.
Not everyone can move out. We can rewire a floor, a wing or a circuit group at a time so the house stays livable through it.
Old lath-and-plaster and masonry construction decide the routing. We plan the access before we open anything.
Permits: we pull the Bountiful electrical permit where the work requires one and schedule the inspection.
Power company: Bountiful City Light & Power (municipal). We coordinate the meter disconnect and reconnect with the city.
Local conditions: Bountiful is served by its own municipal utility, Bountiful City Light & Power, so the meter coordination goes through the city rather than Rocky Mountain Power.
You never deal with the city or the utility. That is our job.
We work throughout Bountiful and Davis County, including Mueller Park Canyon and Bountiful Boulevard.
Look in the attic or an unfinished basement for individual wires running through white ceramic tubes and knobs rather than a single cable. If your house predates 1950 and has two-prong outlets, it is worth an inspection either way.
Many carriers will not write or renew a policy on active knob-and-tube, and some ask about aluminum branch wiring specifically. If your carrier has raised it, bring us the letter and we will scope to what they are asking for.
Often not. We can phase the work so you keep a functioning kitchen, bathroom and bedrooms throughout. Whole-house-at-once is faster and usually cheaper per circuit, and we will lay out both options.
Frequently, yes — a rewire is the natural moment to correct an undersized or hazard-brand service, and doing both together costs less than doing them a year apart.
Less than people expect. We fish where we can and cut where we must, and we mark the plan with you before anything opens. Patching can be included in the scope if you want it handled.
