A Homeowner’s Guide to Rewiring: What to Expect and When to Do It

If your home is more than 40 years old, there’s a good chance the wiring might be outdated or unsafe. Whether you’re buying an older property or upgrading your current one, here’s what Chattanooga homeowners need to know about rewiring.

When Should You Rewire?

• Your lights flicker or dim randomly
• Outlets are loose, discolored, or spark when used
• The home still uses knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring
• You’re doing major renovations or adding new appliances
