Home rewiring in South Orange
We map the existing circuits, then plan new ones around how the house is used today. New cable is fished through walls, floors and attic spaces, with small access openings where there is no other way. Rooms are done in stages so you always have power somewhere. The job finishes with new devices, a labeled panel and an inspection.

For an electrician that usually means 60 or 100 amp service, a mix of old cloth-covered cable and newer wire, and panels that were never meant to carry central air, an induction range and a car charger at the same time.
