Does Your Kirkwood Home Need Rewiring?

Many Kirkwood homes date from the 1920s through the 1960s. Kirkwood's older housing stock makes panel upgrades, aluminum wiring remediation, and rewiring especially common here. Key signs your Kirkwood home may need rewiring include: two-prong ungrounded outlets throughout, aluminum branch wiring, knob-and-tube wiring, frequent breaker trips, burning smells, or a home that hasn't been rewired in 40+ years.

Aluminum Wiring Remediation in Kirkwood

Homes built in Kirkwood between 1965 and 1982 may have aluminum branch wiring, which is a fire hazard at outlet and switch connections. The safest long-term fix is rewiring with copper. A shorter-term option is COPALUM crimping at all termination points — we do both and will recommend the right approach for your home.

Knob-and-Tube Wiring Replacement in Kirkwood

Knob-and-tube wiring — found in many older Kirkwood homes — lacks a ground wire, is incompatible with modern insulation, and is rejected by most insurance companies. We replace it completely with modern grounded copper wiring, to code, with all required St. Louis County permits.
