Wiring & Whole-Home Rewiring in Florence & the Pee Dee
Old wiring is the hidden risk in a lot of Pee Dee homes — cloth-insulated cable, ungrounded circuits, aluminum branch wiring, and the occasional knob-and-tube run in houses built before the 1970s. Palmetto Electric rewires homes safely and in stages where possible, so you get modern, grounded, code-compliant circuits without tearing the house apart.
We also handle new wiring for additions, garages, shops and full remodels — planned around how you actually use the space, with enough circuits and outlets that you're not living off power strips.
Common problems we fix
- Cloth or rubber-insulated wiring that's brittle or crumbling
- Aluminum branch wiring from the 1960s–70s
- Knob-and-tube wiring with no ground
- Two-prong outlets throughout the house
- Frequent trips, warm walls, or burning smells
- Not enough outlets or circuits for modern loads
- Additions, garages or remodels needing new circuits
What homeowners ask us first
How do I know if my house needs rewiring?
Warning signs include two-prong outlets everywhere, cloth-covered wiring, frequent trips, flickering, and a build date before the mid-1970s. Our ‘signs you need to rewire’ guide lists them all; we confirm with an inspection.
Do you have to tear out all my walls?
Not usually. Experienced electricians fish new wire through walls, attics and crawlspaces with minimal openings, patched neatly afterward. We plan the route to limit damage.
Can rewiring be done in phases?
Often yes. We can prioritize the highest-risk circuits or the rooms you're renovating, then complete the rest later, so the cost is manageable.

How long does it take to rewire a house?
A typical single-family rewire runs several days to a couple of weeks depending on size, access and whether you stay in the home. We give a clear timeline up front.
Will I lose power during the rewire?
We keep essential circuits live and switch sections over in stages so you're rarely fully without power. Any planned outages are scheduled with you.
Is aluminum wiring illegal in South Carolina?
It's not illegal, but it requires proper connectors and care. We can pigtail with approved devices or rewire affected circuits, depending on condition and your insurer's requirements.
Do I need a permit to rewire?
Yes — rewiring requires a permit and inspection. We pull it and schedule the inspection so the work is documented and legal.
