Whole-Home Rewire — Sunnyvale
A mid-century Sunnyvale home still had original cloth-insulated wiring flagged during a sale inspection. We rewired the house with modern copper, added GFCI/AFCI protection throughout, and replaced the fuse box with a 200A breaker panel — all while the family stayed in place.
- Before: Original cloth wiring + fuse box, flagged at inspection
- After: Full copper rewire with code-current GFCI/AFCI
- Scope: 200A panel, every circuit relabeled and documented
- Outcome: Passed re-inspection; the sale closed on schedule
