CERG provides complete electrical services for new construction projects and rewiring of existing properties. Our licensed electricians deliver quality workmanship from design through final inspection.
New Construction Electrical Services
Building a new home or commercial property requires careful electrical planning and expert installation. We work with homeowners, builders, and contractors to design and install electrical systems that meet code requirements and exceed expectations.
Design and Planning
Proper electrical design prevents problems before they occur. Our team reviews architectural plans, calculates electrical loads, plans circuit distribution, determines panel requirements, and identifies optimal fixture locations. We coordinate with other trades to ensure seamless installation.
Rough-In Electrical Work
During the rough-in phase, we install electrical boxes, run wiring through walls and ceilings, install the main electrical panel, set up subpanels as needed, run dedicated circuits for major appliances, install exterior service entrance equipment, and coordinate with inspectors.
Finish Electrical Work
After walls are closed and finished, we return to install switches and outlets, light fixtures, ceiling fans, appliance connections, specialty circuits, and smart home devices. We test all circuits, verify proper operation, and prepare for final inspection.
Complete Home Rewiring
Older homes often need complete electrical system updates to meet modern power demands and safety standards. We specialize in whole-home rewiring projects that bring outdated systems up to current code.
Signs Your Home Needs Rewiring
Consider rewiring if your home has knob-and-tube wiring, aluminum wiring, two-prong outlets throughout, frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, burning smells, discolored outlets, or was built before 1960. These conditions indicate electrical systems that can’t safely support modern electrical loads.
Our Rewiring Process
Complete rewiring is a major project that requires careful planning and execution. We start with a comprehensive electrical assessment, create a detailed rewiring plan, obtain necessary permits, protect your home with dust barriers, remove old wiring safely, install new wiring throughout, upgrade the electrical panel, install modern outlets and switches, test all circuits thoroughly, and arrange final inspection.
Minimizing Disruption
We understand rewiring disrupts your daily life. Our team works efficiently to minimize inconvenience by working in phases to maintain partial electrical service, protecting furniture and belongings, keeping work areas clean, maintaining clear communication about schedules, and completing work as quickly as possible without compromising quality.
Partial Rewiring Projects
Not every home needs complete rewiring. We also handle partial rewiring for specific areas including room additions, kitchen renovations, bathroom remodels, basement finishing, garage conversions, and home office installations. Partial rewiring updates circuits in specific areas while leaving the rest of the system untouched.
Service Upgrades During Rewiring
Many rewiring projects include upgrading the main electrical service from 100 amps to 200 amps or higher. Modern homes with central air conditioning, electric heating, EV chargers, and numerous appliances often need 200-amp or larger service. We coordinate service upgrades with your utility company and ensure proper installation.
Code Compliance
All our work meets or exceeds National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements and local electrical codes. This includes proper wire sizing, GFCI protection in required locations, AFCI protection for bedroom circuits, proper grounding, adequate circuit capacity, and tamper-resistant outlets in homes with children.
Permit and Inspection
We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections with local authorities. Our work consistently passes inspection on the first attempt because we follow code requirements precisely and maintain high quality standards.
Modern Electrical Features
New construction and rewiring projects are perfect opportunities to incorporate modern electrical features including USB outlets, smart switches and dimmers, whole-home surge protection, structured wiring for data/video, dedicated EV charging circuits, solar panel preparation, energy monitoring systems, and smart home integration.
