Aluminum Branch-Circuit Wiring (1965-1975)
Aluminum expands and contracts more than copper, loosening connections over time. This is a documented fire risk, not a maybe.

Residential Electrical Service
Built For Whole-Home Rewiring, Not Generic Service Calls
Spark Shark Electric in Moore, Oklahoma rewires homes across the OKC Metro Area. Many OKC Metro Area homes built before 1980 still run on original wiring that was never designed for today's electrical loads. Aluminum branch circuits, ungrounded two-prong outlets, undersized conductors, and deteriorating insulation are common findings during inspections and remodels. A whole-home rewire replaces the wiring from the panel to every outlet, switch, and fixture in the house. Up front pricing, permit pulled, inspection scheduled, and written before work begins.
What We Handle
When Your Home Needs A Rewire
Knob-And-Tube Wiring (Pre-1950)
No ground wire, no modern insulation, often buried under blown-in insulation (a fire hazard).
Ungrounded Two-Prong Outlets Throughout
Indicates the original wiring has no equipment ground, which modern code and most appliances require.
Cloth-Insulated Wiring
The rubber and cloth insulation used before the 1960s becomes brittle and cracks, exposing bare conductors inside walls.
Insurance Or Sale Requirement
Some insurers and home buyers require a rewire before binding coverage or closing.
Major Remodel
Opening walls for a kitchen or bathroom remodel is the most cost-effective time to rewire, since the wiring is already accessible.

FAQ
Common Questions
How long does a whole-home rewire take?
Most full rewires take 3-5 days for a typical 3-bedroom home. Larger homes or homes with difficult access (finished basements, limited attic space) can take longer. We give you a realistic timeline before starting.
Do we have to move out during the rewire?
Usually no. We work room by room and restore power to finished areas each day. You'll lose power to the room being worked on during the day.
How much does a whole-home rewire cost in the OKC Metro Area?
It depends on the size of the home, number of circuits, accessibility, and whether a panel upgrade is included. We give a written up front quote after the assessment. Most OKC Metro Area rewires fall between $8,000 and $20,000.
Can you rewire without tearing out all the drywall?
In many cases, yes. We use attic and crawlspace access, fish wires through walls, and minimize openings. Some patching is usually needed, but a full gut is rarely required.
Do you handle the permit?
Yes. Every rewire gets a permit and a final inspection. Both are included in the up front quote.
Is aluminum wiring dangerous?
Aluminum branch-circuit wiring (not the service entrance cable, which is fine) has a documented higher risk of overheating at connections. The CPSC has studied this extensively. If your home has aluminum branch circuits, we recommend evaluation.
