When Should I Rewire My Home?

Read More

We understand that your home is essential to you, so we want it to be safe for long-lasting use. There are a few signs to look out for when considering rewiring.

If your electrical system meets any of these requirements, it's time to rewire your home:

  • Original wiring
  • Burning smell
  • Flickering lights
  • Multiple extension cords

If your home is over 30 years old, your original wiring is outdated and broken down. These degraded components lead to other problems like shorts, arcs, and electrical fires. Exposed or loose wiring may create sparks, and you'll notice a burning smell near outlets or your electrical panel. If you use multiple extension cords, your current system doesn't meet your technological needs. This is also true if you experience flickering lights when you plug in other high-energy appliances.

Don't hesitate to call Laughlin Electric for expert wiring and rewiring in Santa Barbara, CA so your home can continue to meet your and your family's needs. Rewiring makes your home safer and can add value to your property if you're considering selling. This investment prevents fires, increases energy efficiency, minimizes power outages, and makes your home more functional than ever. Homes built before 1971 aren't equipped with GFCI outlets in areas where water can short out your outlets. This is only one example of the lack of safety features in homes built 30 years ago or longer.

The Benefits of Professional Electrical Troubleshooting

Technology continues to improve daily, and we believe your home should improve with it.

This may include you adding additional accessories like:

  • Smart Home Technology:

    This can create a more functional daily routine in your home with voice-activated light switches, speakers, and blinds. Other smart home technologies include security systems, programmable appliances, and lights you can control from your phone.

  • Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs):

    Wiring a guest house, attic, or basement allows you to create a secondary living space for guests, young adults, and elderly family members who may benefit from a private area.

  • Outdoor Lighting:

    Outdoor lighting can improve security, set the mood for entertaining, or light the path to your home. Creating a relaxing and warm outdoor space can make entertaining friends or playing yard games with your family a breeze.

  • At-home Theater:

    Adding an at-home theater brings the movie experience to you, so you don't have to worry about people you don't know talking in the middle of an important scene. Personalize the movie theater experience with an at-home theater built around your preferences.

Adding this technology to your home can make it more functional, relaxing, and enjoyable for the whole family; however, you must trust an experienced team with these updates. Laughlin Electric Santa Barbara has 30 years of experience providing electrical services, so good you laugh about it. Our expert wiring and rewiring in Santa Barbara, CA go above and beyond because it's easy to do hard work when you care.

    Everyone at Laughlin Electric went above and beyond the call of duty. I had an emergency electrical situation and they were there immediately and stayed until absolutely everything was completed., even an expedited permit from the city. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

    We recently had Bob’s team install some LED lights at my office. There must have been over 40 lights that required an update. Team Laughlin did an amazing job with the install. The whole office was happy with the work. Thank you!

    If you are like me, you place a very high value on great service. Like me, you might also feel customer service levels from all types of businesses have plummeted since the pandemic. Not so with Laughlin Electric who from first contact to job completion exhibited the highest levels of service, communication, expertise and professionalism. Dan and Cody came to my house to take on a few projects, including hanging my flat screen on the wall. This included disappearing all related wiring. I had no idea how this could be done, but the highly skilled duo quickly conceived of a plan and got to work. Nearing completion, a vexing internet connectivity problem arose. It seemed insurmountable, and I thought the fiber company would have to come the next day to repair. But with resourcefulness, resolve and genius troubling shooting the team got everything to work perfectly. The entire experience reassured me that there are still great companies with great employees who really take care of their customers. I couldn't be happier.

    Gabby customer service girl was fanstic on the phone and was able to get a electrican within less than two hours. Lucas was able to localize the issue. He also consulted with the Bob the owner who also assisted to identify a major electrical problem and remained to provide additional contacts since the problem appeared to be generated from the source. I will be contacting PGE within a day to arrange repairs.

    I recently had Laughlin work on my new house. Well, new to me… it’s a hundred years old. Cody and Dan spent a week replacing knob-and-tube wiring, modernizing all the outlets, replacing and adding light fixtures, expanding the breaker box, and making sure the system is safe and up to date. Cody even managed to get the original doorbell functioning. A great job and great guys, and I’m really happy with how well it went. Thanks!

    Cody did a great, very efficient job installing a Bidet. He was able to advise me on pros and cons of various light fixtures. So glad I have someone I can trust to go to in the future.

    Easy to work with and prompt. I reached out about installing an EV outlet/charger on a Tuesday and was fully installed by Friday morning. Cody helped us find the right option to meet our needs and after talking it through got straight to work on the install. Felt like we were in good hands to get the job done correctly!

    Cody came to house to perform maintenance on our Cummings backup generator. Very polite and after brief site inspection submitted bid. Fair price was accepted and he did work same day. All went well and would highly recommend his company LAUGLIN ELECTRIC to anyone!

    Our experience with Laughlin was amazing. The electricians, Cody and Dane, were exceptional. They were professional, knowledgeable, efficient and, above all, patient. Our first call for future electrical needs would be to Laughlin.
