Whole Home Rewiring for Older Seattle Houses
Knob and tube, cloth-wrapped and aluminum branch wiring replaced with modern, grounded, code-compliant circuits.
When a Home Has Outgrown Its Wiring
A rewire is the largest electrical project most homeowners will ever undertake, and it is not one to enter into lightly. But for a great many Seattle houses it is the only honest fix. Wiring installed in the 1920s has no ground conductor, insulation that has spent a century drying out, and a design assumption that a household would run a few lamps and a radio.
Three types of wiring commonly trigger a rewire here. Knob and tube, found throughout Seattle’s pre-1950 stock, cannot legally be buried in insulation and offers no grounding. Cloth-wrapped and rubber-insulated wiring from the 1950s and 60s becomes brittle and crumbles when disturbed. Aluminum branch wiring from roughly 1965 to 1973 loosens at connections as it heats and cools, which is a recognised fire risk.
We rewire methodically, working room by room where possible to keep the house liveable, fishing new cable through existing walls to limit the damage, and coordinating drywall repair so you are not left with a patchwork. Everything is permitted and inspected.
- Modern grounded circuits throughout
- AFCI and GFCI protection to current code
- Fully permitted and inspected
- Minimal-damage fishing, drywall repair coordinated
- Financing available on approved credit
What a Rewire Includes
A full rewire replaces the entire branch circuit system, not just the parts you can see.
New Branch Circuits
Every outlet, switch and fixture put onto new grounded cable, with circuits split sensibly rather than everything on two overloaded runs.
Panel & Service Upgrade
A rewire almost always pairs with a new panel, and frequently a service upgrade to 200 amps to support modern demand.
Grounded Outlets Throughout
Three-prong grounded receptacles in every room, with GFCI protection in kitchens, baths, garages and exteriors.
AFCI Protection
Arc-fault protection on living areas and bedrooms — the code requirement that specifically targets the fire risk old wiring poses.
Smoke & CO Detector Circuits
Hardwired, interconnected smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, which the code requires as part of a rewire.
Permit, Inspection & Sign-Off
Documented, inspected and signed off — which is exactly what a buyer's inspector will look for later.

Rewiring Without Gutting the House
The fear that stops most people is the image of every wall opened up. In practice a skilled crew fishes the majority of new cable through existing wall and ceiling cavities, working from attics, basements and crawl spaces, and opens only small, strategic access points.
We walk the house with you before we start and mark exactly where access is needed, so there are no surprises. Where patching is unavoidable we coordinate the drywall and paint repair as part of the project rather than leaving you to arrange it. For occupied homes we phase the work so you always have power where you need it.
- Access points walked and agreed before we start
- Phased so the home stays liveable
- Drywall and paint repair coordinated
Frequently Asked Questions
For a typical Seattle single-family home, plan on one to three weeks depending on size, how accessible the walls are, and whether the work is phased around an occupied household. We give you a schedule with the quote and update it as the work progresses.
Most homeowners stay. We phase the work so that you always have power to the essentials — kitchen, at least one bathroom, and your heating. There will be days without power in specific rooms, and we will tell you which and when in advance so you can plan around it.
Increasingly, yes, particularly for knob and tube. Many insurers now decline new policies on homes with active knob and tube wiring, and some are non-renewing existing ones. A completed, permitted rewire generally resolves the issue and often reduces the premium. Ask your insurer what documentation they need — the permit sign-off is usually it.
Yes. A partial rewire makes good sense when the problem is concentrated — for example, original knob and tube remaining only on the upper floor while the main level was updated in a previous remodel. We will assess what is actually there and tell you honestly whether a partial rewire solves the problem or merely postpones it.

I had no idea what I was getting into, and how severe our plumbing issue was. Jeff was so professional up front and willing to explain things to me in a way that I would understand.

Jordan H. was an absolute expert when installing our toilets and shower heads. He was friendly and made us feel comfortable as first time homebuyers. He informed us of the process, was transparent when answering questions, and ensured outstanding cleanliness during installation. He even went out of his way to make the installation areas look cleaner than they were before. I’ll definitely continue to use their services for my home, and would recommend them and especially Jordan H. to anyone.

May 30, 2026 UPDATE - High marks to Plumbers Diego and Hector who installed a pressure reducing valve for our condo unit this morning. We continue to be greatly impressed by Bee's Plumbing's excellent customer service and the skilled and caring plumbers who have serviced our condo. We were equally impressed by the receptionist who called us before our plumbers visit to make sure that Bee's had completely responded to our plumbing needs (they most definitely had - in fact, our plumbers, Diego and Hector - went above and beyond the call of service). Highly recommend Bee's Plumbing and Heating. Highly Recommend. My wife and I are always completely impressed by the expertise and outstanding customer service provided by the plumbers at Bee's Plumbing and Heating. Today, we called Bee's to book a repair of a water leak that we discovered under our kitchen cabinet. High marks go to the excellent receptionist who took my call - she listened to my concern and booked a plumber to analyze the plumbing problem this very day! Plumber Diego and Membership Services Manager Cameron promptly arrived and evaluated the problem. We were so impressed by today's repair as well as previous repairs by Bee's Plumbers that we signed up for the Bee's Club Membership. Kudos to the excellent service provided by Diego and Cameron.
