House rewiring is the process of replacing outdated or unsafe electrical wiring throughout a home, and for Metro Atlanta homeowners, it is one of the most consequential electrical projects you can undertake. Done right, it brings your home’s electrical system up to current code, eliminates fire and shock hazards, and gives you the capacity to run a modern household without tripping breakers or overloading circuits.
All Purpose Heating & Air Conditioning has been doing this work in Georgia for more than 35 years. We are locally owned, licensed, and insured, and we handle residential rewiring and new circuit installation from the initial inspection through the final permit inspection.
Not every job is a full rewire. Sometimes you need a single dedicated circuit for a new appliance, a hot tub, or a workshop. Sometimes you need several. We look at what you actually have, tell you what we find, and give you a clear picture of your options before any work begins.
If your home was built before the 1980s, or if you are planning a renovation or addition, the wiring conversation is worth having sooner rather than later.
Most homeowners do not know they have a wiring problem until something makes it obvious. By then, the risk has usually been building for a while. Here are the specific things to pay attention to.
Ignored, any of these conditions tends to get worse, not better. The time to deal with them is before something fails.
We do not hand you a price and disappear until work day. Here is what the actual process looks like when you hire All Purpose Heating & Air Conditioning for rewiring or new circuit work.
Inspection first. We start by looking at what you have: the panel, the existing wiring type, the condition of boxes and devices, and where new circuits need to go. We are looking at your specific house, not running through a checklist built for a different one.
Planning the runs. Before we pull a single wire, we map out how the new wiring will travel through your walls, attic, and crawlspace. In a house that is already finished, that planning matters a great deal. We think through access points carefully so we are not opening more wall than necessary.
Permit. We pull the permit. This is not optional and it is not something we pass off to you. A permitted job gets inspected by the authority having jurisdiction, and that inspection is what protects you when you sell the house or file an insurance claim.
Pulling the wire. New copper wiring goes in, sized correctly for each circuit and its intended load. AFCI and GFCI protection is installed where code requires it.
Boxes and devices. Outlets, switches, and covers go in. Every connection is made to code at the box.
Patching coordination. If drywall needs to be opened, we work cleanly and coordinate with you on patching. We do not leave that conversation until after the fact.
Final inspection. The inspector signs off. You have a documented, code-compliant electrical system.
All Purpose Heating & Air Conditioning handles rewiring and new circuit projects throughout Metro Atlanta and the surrounding Georgia communities, including Alpharetta, Conyers, Peachtree City, Newnan, and McDonough. The permit authority, code version, and inspection process can vary from one jurisdiction to the next, and knowing those differences is part of doing the job correctly in each area we serve.
What drives the cost and timeline of a rewiring project comes down to a handful of real factors. Square footage matters, but so does the number of circuits being replaced or added. A larger house with easy attic and crawlspace access can sometimes move faster than a smaller house with fully finished walls and no attic runs. Finished spaces require more careful planning to limit wall openings, and that takes more time. Unfinished basements and open attics give us direct access to framing, which speeds things up considerably.
The permit is a fixed part of every job. It adds a step, but it also adds a documented record that the work was inspected and approved. That record matters to your insurer and to any buyer if you sell.
If you are adding circuits rather than doing a full rewire, the condition and capacity of your existing panel is the first question. A panel that is already at capacity or showing signs of age may need attention before new circuits can be added safely. You can read more about that on our electrical panel upgrade service page. For projects involving outlets, switches, or lighting, our outlets, switches, and lighting page covers that work in detail.
The only way to get a real number for your project is an estimate based on your actual home. Request your estimate and we will take a look.
