Knob-and-Tube & Aluminum Wiring
Replacement in Bend
If your Bend home was built before 1950 it may still have knob-and-tube wiring. If it was built between 1965 and 1973 it may have aluminum branch-circuit wiring. Both are fire risks by modern standards, and most home insurance companies now require replacement before they'll issue or renew a policy. Gold Electric handles the full rewire — from opening walls to installing new panels and outlets, restoring drywall, and passing inspection.

Why Replace Old Wiring
- Home insurance companies are increasingly refusing to cover knob-and-tube and aluminum
- Fire risk is significantly higher than with modern copper
- Modern appliances and EV chargers overload old systems
- Real estate transactions often require wire replacement for buyer financing
- Old wire has no ground — modern grounded outlets require new wiring
What a Full Rewire Involves
- Whole-home inspection to map existing wiring
- Permit with the City of Bend / Deschutes County
- Opening walls and ceilings as needed for access
- Pulling new copper wire and installing modern outlets/switches
- Installing a new panel with full breaker protection
- Patching drywall (basic) or coordinating with a finish contractor
- Final inspection and insurance documentation
Partial Rewires Available
Not every home needs a full rewire. Many older Bend homes have already had kitchens and bathrooms modernized, leaving only a few rooms with old wiring. We scope each job individually.
