Older wiring does not always show obvious symptoms before it becomes a problem. Bangor has a mix of borough homes and rural properties, and a number of them have wiring that has never been comprehensively updated. Kelley Electric works in all of them, handling everything from targeted circuit additions to full whole-house rewires.

Whole-House Rewiring

A full rewire replaces all of the branch circuit wiring throughout your home with new, code-compliant wiring. It is a significant project that involves working in walls, ceilings, attics, and crawl spaces. For homes with active knob-and-tube wiring or seriously deteriorated insulation, it is often the most thorough and lasting solution.

Common situations that lead Bangor homeowners to a full rewire include:

  • Active knob-and-tube wiring that is still in service
  • Wiring with deteriorated insulation from age or heat exposure
  • A history of DIY electrical work that was not done correctly
  • Aluminum branch circuit wiring from the 1960s and 1970s
  • Preparing an older home for renovation or sale

Knob-and-Tube Wiring Replacement

Knob-and-tube wiring was standard in homes built before roughly 1950, and it shows up in a number of Bangor’s older borough properties. The system uses separate hot and neutral conductors run through ceramic insulators with no ground wire. It was not built for modern electrical loads, becomes brittle and unreliable with age, and many insurance companies will not cover homes with active knob-and-tube systems or will charge significantly higher premiums.

Replacing knob-and-tube is not a simple swap. It requires running new wiring throughout the affected portions of the home and updating the panel connections. We handle all of it and make sure the finished work passes inspection.

Aluminum Branch Circuit Wiring

Homes built in the 1960s and 1970s sometimes have aluminum branch circuit wiring rather than copper. Aluminum expands and contracts differently than copper, which can cause connections to loosen over time and create fire hazards at outlets, switches, and fixtures. We address aluminum wiring through approved remediation methods that restore safe operation without necessarily requiring a full rewire.

Dedicated Circuit Installation

A dedicated circuit serves one device or appliance and is not shared with anything else. Dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, window AC units, EV chargers, and hot tubs all require dedicated circuits. If you are adding any of these to your Bangor home, we run the circuit, install the appropriate outlet, and make sure the breaker is properly sized.

110V and 220V Line Installation

Adding a new circuit for a specific appliance, workshop equipment, or a part of your home that needs more capacity is work we handle regularly. We run the line, install the outlet, and size everything correctly for the intended load.

The easiest place to check is your attic or basement where wiring is often visible. Knob-and-tube uses separate black and white wires running through ceramic knobs and tubes with no protective sheathing around them. If your home was built before 1950 and has never been rewired, there is a reasonable chance it still has knob-and-tube in some or all of the walls.
Not necessarily in its original state, but it was not designed for modern electrical loads and becomes increasingly risky as it ages. The insulation becomes brittle and can crack or crumble. It also has no ground wire, which means your outlets are ungrounded. Many insurance companies will not cover homes with active knob-and-tube wiring or charge significantly higher premiums.
It depends on the size and layout of your home and the complexity of the existing wiring. Most single-family homes take several days. Older properties with plaster walls or unusual construction can take longer because the work requires more care. We will give you a realistic timeline after assessing your home.
In most cases yes, though the extent depends on your home's construction and how wiring can be routed through the attic and basement. We work in older homes regularly and know how to minimize the disruption while still doing the job correctly.
Not necessarily. Aluminum branch circuit wiring can often be addressed through approved remediation methods that correct the connection points without replacing all of the wire. The right approach depends on the condition and extent of the aluminum wiring in your home. We assess it and give you an honest recommendation.
Yes. Whole-house rewiring, new circuit installations, and other significant wiring work are permitted projects in Pennsylvania. The work needs to pass inspection upon completion. Kelley Electric handles all permitting as part of the job.
