Licensed master electricians, Brooklyn-based

Brooklyn House Rewiring is a licensed master-electrician company that rewires homes and upgrades electrical service across Brooklyn, NY. The wiring in an old house is easy to forget: it's hidden, nobody gives it a second thought, and it keeps quietly doing its job right up until the day it doesn't. By the time you notice something's wrong, a warm outlet, a faint scorch mark, a breaker that won't stay on, the trouble has usually been building behind the plaster for years. Plenty of the prewar row houses and brownstones out here in Park Slope, Bed-Stuy, and Crown Heights are still running on original knob-and-tube or a 60-amp fuse box nobody ever got around to replacing, and most owners have no idea until we pop the cover off the panel.

What we do is straightforward: replace that brittle knob-and-tube and fire-prone aluminum branch wiring with grounded copper, swap tired 60- and 100-amp fuse boxes for 200-amp breaker panels, and add the GFCI and AFCI protection modern code calls for, all of it pulled on permit and signed off by the city, no shortcuts and no unlicensed labor. The smartest money a Brooklyn homeowner spends usually isn't on the kitchen or the floors; it's on the wiring behind the walls that keeps the family safe. Rewiring a lived-in brownstone is delicate work, so we fish new circuits through existing walls and ceilings to keep the demolition down, then patch and clean up behind us. Whether it's a single panel upgrade, a co-op board that wants the service brought up to code, or a full gut-renovation rewire, we'll walk the house with you and tell you straight what actually needs doing versus what can wait, and we answer the phone when you call.
