Our Rewiring Process
At Coastline Electric, we follow a structured process to ensure your home remodel or addition rewiring project is executed flawlessly, from initial consultation to final inspection.
Initial Consultation & Planning
We begin with a thorough assessment of your remodel plans, discussing your electrical needs, desired layouts, and any specific requirements. We'll identify potential challenges and provide expert recommendations.
Design & Permitting
Our team designs an electrical plan that meets all current codes and your project's specifications. We then handle all necessary permitting, ensuring your project is approved before work begins.
Rough-In Electrical
This phase involves installing all new wiring, electrical boxes, and conduits within the walls and ceilings before drywall installation. We coordinate closely with your contractor to ensure smooth progress.
Inspection Coordination
We schedule and facilitate all required electrical inspections, ensuring that every aspect of our work meets or exceeds Florida's stringent safety and building codes.
Trim-Out & Final Fixtures
Once the interior finishes are complete, we install all switches, outlets, light fixtures, ceiling fans, and other electrical devices, bringing your renovated space to life.
Final Walkthrough & Power-Up
We conduct a final walkthrough with you to ensure everything is perfect and then power up your newly rewired spaces, ready for you to enjoy.
Complete Whole House Rewiring in Florida
A whole house rewire is the most comprehensive electrical project a homeowner can undertake, and it is often the right call for Florida homes built before 1980. Homes of that era frequently contain cloth-wrapped wiring, undersized circuits, two-prong ungrounded outlets, and aluminum branch wiring — all of which are fire hazards and insurance red flags. A full house rewire replaces every branch circuit from the panel outward, bringing the entire electrical system up to current Florida code.
Coastline Electric has performed whole house rewires across Hillsborough, Pasco, Hernando, Polk, and Pinellas counties since 1984. We work in occupied homes whenever possible, phasing the work room by room to minimize disruption. All whole house rewiring projects are fully permitted and receive a final inspection sign-off from the local authority having jurisdiction.
Full Branch Circuit Replacement
Every circuit from the panel to each outlet, switch, and fixture is replaced with new copper wiring sized to current NEC requirements.
Panel Upgrade Coordination
Most whole house rewires pair with a 200-amp panel upgrade. We coordinate both scopes so permitting, utility notification, and inspection happen in a single project.
Knob-and-Tube & Cloth Wire Removal
We safely remove and replace knob-and-tube and cloth-insulated wiring that insurers increasingly refuse to cover in Florida homes.
AFCI and GFCI Compliance
All rewired circuits receive AFCI and GFCI protection as required by the current Florida Building Code, satisfying both code and insurance requirements.
Whole House Rewire Cost in Florida
The cost of a whole house rewire in Florida depends on the size of the home, the number of circuits, the accessibility of walls and attic spaces, and whether the panel and service entrance also need replacement. Older concrete block homes with limited attic access require more labor than wood-frame homes. Homes with aluminum branch wiring may qualify for a targeted pigtailing remediation rather than a full rewire, which can reduce cost significantly.
Coastline Electric provides detailed, written estimates after an on-site walkthrough. We will explain exactly what the job requires, what is included in the price, and what the permit and inspection process looks like. There are no surprise charges. Call us at (727) 862-7950 to schedule your estimate.
Florida Code & Compliance
Navigating the electrical codes for home remodels and additions in Florida can be complex. The Florida Building Code, particularly the National Electrical Code (NEC) as adopted by the state, sets strict standards for electrical installations to ensure safety and prevent hazards. Coastline Electric is intimately familiar with these regulations and ensures every project we undertake is 100% compliant.
From proper circuit sizing for new appliances to mandatory GFCI and AFCI protection, and the correct grounding and bonding of systems, our licensed electricians adhere to the highest standards. We manage all aspects of permitting and work directly with local inspectors to guarantee that your remodel or addition passes all electrical inspections without issue. Our commitment to compliance not only ensures your safety but also protects your investment and maintains your home's value.
