Complete home wiring and rewiring for new construction, renovations, and older homes with outdated electrical systems.
Call (913) 745-7191
If your home was built before 1980, there is a good chance it has aluminum wiring, cloth-insulated wiring, or knob-and-tube wiring -- all of which present fire risks and are increasingly flagged by insurance companies. Even homes built in the 1980s and 1990s may have undersized wiring that cannot safely support modern electrical loads.
Excel Electricians provides complete residential wiring services: new construction wiring, whole-home rewiring, partial rewiring for renovations, aluminum-to-copper remediation, and dedicated circuit installation for high-draw appliances like EV chargers, hot tubs, and workshop equipment.
Whole-home rewiring typically costs $8,000-$15,000 for a 1,500-2,000 sq ft home. Adding a dedicated 240V circuit for an EV charger or workshop equipment runs $500-$1,500. We minimize wall damage by using existing pathways wherever possible and repair any openings we make.
All wiring work includes permits, inspections, and a written warranty. We use commercial-grade copper wiring rated for the circuits being installed.

Frequently Asked Questions — Overland Park
How much does it cost to rewire a house in Overland Park, KS?
Whole-home rewiring costs $8,000-$15,000 for a typical 1,500-2,000 sq ft home. Larger homes or those requiring extensive wall repair run $15,000-$25,000. Partial rewiring for specific rooms or circuits costs $2,000-$6,000.
How do I know if my house needs rewiring in Overland Park, KS?
Warning signs include aluminum wiring (silver-colored at outlets), cloth-insulated wiring, knob-and-tube wiring, a fuse box instead of breakers, frequent breaker trips, discolored outlets, burning smells, and insurance companies requiring electrical upgrades.
How long does a whole-home rewire take in Overland Park, KS?
A typical whole-home rewire takes 3-7 days of active work. The total timeline including permitting and inspection is usually 2-3 weeks.
Is aluminum wiring dangerous in Overland Park, KS?
Aluminum wiring itself is not inherently dangerous, but the connections are. Aluminum expands and contracts more than copper, causing connections to loosen over time. Loose connections create heat buildup and fire risk. Remediation options include copper pigtailing or full rewiring.
Can you rewire a house without removing drywall in Overland Park, KS?
In many cases, yes. We use fishing techniques, existing conduit pathways, and strategic access points to minimize wall openings. Some access holes are needed, but we patch all openings as part of the job.
Do I need to move out during a rewire in Overland Park, KS?
Usually not. We work room by room, maintaining power to most of the house at all times. You may lose power to specific rooms during active work, but full-house outages are brief and scheduled in advance.
