Does Your Wildwood Home Need Rewiring?

Most Wildwood homes were built between 1990 and 2015 on large wooded lots. Wildwood's larger homes with detached garages, outbuildings, and acreage create unique electrical needs โ€” longer runs, subpanels, and generator installations are common. Key signs your Wildwood 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 Wildwood

Homes built in Wildwood 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 โ€” we do both and will recommend the right approach for your home.

Knob-and-Tube Wiring Replacement in Wildwood

Knob-and-tube wiring โ€” found in many older Wildwood homes โ€” 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.
