Whole Home Rewiring

Complete Residential Rewiring for North Mississippi Homes

Older homes throughout North Mississippi, especially those built before the 1970s, often have wiring that simply wasn't designed for the electrical load modern households put on it. Whether it's original knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum branch circuit wiring, or just outdated two-prong systems with no grounding, a full rewire is sometimes the safest and most cost-effective path forward.

Myatt's Electrical performs whole home rewires for residential properties throughout Tupelo, Corinth, Oxford, and surrounding areas. We work efficiently, coordinate permit requirements, and can often stage the work so you're not completely without power for extended periods. When we're done, you get a modern, grounded wiring system with a new panel to match, and the peace of mind that your home's electrical is safe.

Situations That Often Call for a Full Rewire

• Home built before 1970 with original wiring
• Aluminum branch circuit wiring (common in 1960s–70s homes)
• Knob-and-tube wiring still in use
• Insurance company flagging or refusing to insure the wiring
• Ungrounded outlets throughout the home
• Frequent breaker trips, burning smells, or discolored outlets
• Major renovation where walls are already open

What the Process Involves

A whole home rewire means replacing all branch circuit wiring, the wiring that runs to your outlets, switches, light fixtures, and appliances. We run new Romex wiring through walls, ceilings, and crawl spaces, install new outlets and switches, and typically pair the rewire with a new panel upgrade. We pull all required permits and schedule a final inspection so the work is documented and fully code-compliant.

• How long does a whole home rewire take?

  It depends on the size of the home and how accessible the wiring is. A typical 1,500–2,000 sq ft home usually takes 3–5 days. We'll give you a realistic timeline during the estimate.

• Do you have to open up all the walls?

  Not necessarily. We use fishing techniques that minimize drywall damage. Some cuts are unavoidable, but we work clean and can recommend a drywall contractor for patching if needed.

• Is a whole home rewire worth it vs. patching?

  If your home has widespread aluminum wiring or knob-and-tube, a full rewire is almost always the smarter long-term investment. Patching problem wiring gives you temporary fixes; a rewire solves it permanently and raises the home's value.
