Service Questions
Yes — that is common. Panel upgrades and whole-home rewires are different scopes. We only recommend rewiring when branch circuits are unsafe or inadequate, not as an automatic add-on to every 200A service change.
Age alone is not the rule — condition is. Many 60–70 year old Cerritos homes still have original cloth, knob-and-tube, ungrounded circuits, or overloaded panels. If circuits are brittle, ungrounded, aluminum branch wire, or failing inspection/insurance review, a partial or full rewire is often the right long-term fix.
Original knob-and-tube can be hazardous when modified, overloaded, or covered with insulation that traps heat. It also lacks an equipment grounding conductor. Insurers and home inspectors frequently require replacement. We evaluate what is still energized and quote a code-compliant copper system.
It is possible, but buyers, insurers, and appraisers often require remediation or a price adjustment. Documented repair by a licensed electrician (and permits when required) makes transactions smoother than leaving unmarked aluminum as-is.
