New Wiring Installed to Code and Built to Last

Safe, code-compliant electrical wiring and installations for homes and businesses in the Everett, Washington area.

You need new wiring when you are adding a room, finishing a basement, remodeling a kitchen, or replacing outdated electrical systems that no longer meet code. In older homes throughout Everett, original wiring may lack the capacity to support modern appliances, or it may use materials like cloth insulation or aluminum conductors that create safety concerns. New construction and remodels also require wiring for lighting, outlets, appliances, and dedicated circuits for equipment that pulls higher loads like ranges, dryers, or EV chargers.


Advantage Electric performs electrical wiring for new installations and upgrades in residential, commercial, and remodeling projects across Everett and surrounding areas. This includes running wire for outlets, circuits, panels, lighting, appliances, and dedicated equipment lines. The work uses quality materials like copper conductors, properly rated breakers, and secure mounting methods that prevent future failures. If your home is older and needs partial or full rewiring, the job is planned to minimize wall damage and completed in stages if needed to keep parts of the house powered during the work.

How Wiring Is Routed and Connected

The electrician maps out the circuit layout based on what you are installing and where power is needed. Wire is then routed through walls, ceilings, or conduit depending on the structure and whether walls are open or closed. In Everett homes with older framing, this sometimes requires drilling through studs or fishing wire through existing cavities to avoid cutting large openings. For remodels or additions, wiring is installed before drywall goes up so everything is accessible and properly secured.


After the wiring is complete, you will have outlets that deliver power where you need it, lighting that operates on dedicated switches, and circuits that do not overload when multiple devices run at the same time. Appliances that require dedicated lines will have their own breaker and wire rated for the load they draw. All connections are made inside junction boxes, and wire is stapled at the required intervals to prevent sagging or contact with sharp edges.


The electrician will also label circuits at the panel so you know which breaker controls each part of the house or building. If the job involves replacing old wiring, the outdated wire is disconnected and removed from active circuits to prevent any future confusion or hazards. Some areas may require inspection before walls are closed, and the electrician will coordinate that step if applicable.

What people ask when planning wiring projects

These are the questions homeowners and contractors ask most often when wiring needs to be installed or replaced as part of a larger project.

What does it cost to rewire a house?
Cost depends on the size of the house, how much wiring needs to be replaced, and whether walls are already open. Most rewiring projects are priced after a walkthrough so the electrician can see the existing system and discuss what needs attention.
How long does it take to wire a new room?
Wiring a single room typically takes four to six hours if walls are open. If wire needs to be fished through closed walls or ceilings, the job may take longer depending on access and layout.
Why does old wiring need to be replaced?
Old wiring often uses materials that degrade over time, lacks grounding, or cannot handle the electrical load required by modern appliances and devices. Replacing it reduces fire risk and brings the system up to current code standards.
What is a dedicated circuit and when is it required?
A dedicated circuit runs a single wire from the panel to one outlet or appliance without sharing the load with other devices. It is required for high-draw equipment like electric ranges, water heaters, air conditioners, and EV chargers.
How do you wire a house without tearing up walls?
Wire can often be fished through walls using existing openings like outlets, attic access, or crawl spaces. Some jobs require small access holes that are patched after the wire is pulled, but large sections of drywall usually do not need to be removed unless the structure or framing prevents fishing.
