Rewiring Troy's Historic Homes

Downtown Troy and the surrounding neighborhoods are lined with nineteenth-century brick row houses, and Lansingburgh is full of older wood-frame homes and multi-family houses. Many of them still have knob-and-tube wiring in the basement joists and walls, ungrounded two-prong outlets, or fuse boxes and small panels that were never meant to carry modern kitchens, laundry and heating loads.

Insurers often ask about knob-and-tube wiring and older panels when a Troy home is bought or refinanced. We inspect what is there, explain what needs to change, and stage the rewire so the house can stay livable during the work. Cable runs are planned to keep openings in plaster to a minimum, and our crew patches what we open.

Out in Brunswick, Wynantskill and North Greenbush, homes are newer and the requests shift toward panel capacity for EV chargers and heat pumps, standby generators for winter outages and new circuits for additions and garages.
