Efficient Electrical Wiring for Our Customer’s Satisfaction
Electrical Wiring FAQs
Outdated or unsafe wiring often hides behind walls until there’s a serious issue—but there are some clear warning signs that indicate your system needs attention. Homes in Manteca built before the 1980s often lack grounded wiring, arc fault protection, or modern safety insulation, all of which are essential for today’s electrical loads.
If you notice flickering or dimming lights, frequent breaker trips, or discoloration around outlets and switches, it’s time to contact a licensed electrician. We perform comprehensive wiring assessments and can tell you whether a targeted repair or a full rewire makes more sense based on your home’s age, layout, and electrical demands.
Yes—Goose Electric specializes in replacing both knob-and-tube and aluminum wiring, which are common in older homes throughout Manteca and the Central Valley. These wiring types can become brittle or loose over time, leading to overheating, arcing, or poor grounding—all of which increase fire risk.
We remove these outdated materials and install grounded copper wiring that meets today’s safety standards. During the process, we’ll update outlets, install AFCI/GFCI protection where required, and ensure your system supports modern energy use without overloading. You’ll get safer wiring that’s ready for appliances, EV chargers, and future upgrades.
In many cases, yes. Rewiring typically adds new circuits to your system, which your existing panel may not be able to handle—especially if it’s rated under 100 amps or if all slots are already filled. An older or overloaded panel can become a safety hazard when new wiring is installed without the proper capacity.
We’ll inspect your current panel and determine if an upgrade is needed to support the additional load. If so, Goose Electric will handle the panel replacement as part of the rewiring process, coordinating permits, ensuring PG&E compliance, and labeling all circuits clearly so your system stays safe and organized.
The length of time depends on the size of your home, how much of the wiring needs to be replaced, and whether your walls or ceilings are open for access. For smaller homes or partial rewiring jobs, we can often finish in one to three days. Full home rewires, particularly in older structures, may take five to ten business days or longer.
Before we begin, Goose Electric provides a detailed project timeline so you’ll know exactly what to expect. We take steps to minimize disruption, protect your walls and floors, and clean up thoroughly each day. We complete the job efficiently while delivering quality you can trust for years to come.
