Acadiana's House Rewiring Specialists
Pipes and Plugs has rewired hundreds of homes across New Iberia, Lafayette, Youngsville, Broussard, Maurice, Abbeville, Jeanerette, Loreauville, St. Martinville, Franklin, and Baldwin. With over 40 years of combined local experience and Electrical Contractor License #42498, our licensed electricians handle whole-home and partial rewiring projects in homes of every age.
Many older Acadiana homes still have wiring methods that have not been safe to install for decades. Knob and tube wiring from pre-1950s homes is still functioning in some properties around our region. Aluminum wiring from the 1960s and 1970s loosens at connections and creates real fire risk. Cloth-insulated wiring from before plastic insulation became standard deteriorates and exposes live wires. We replace all of it with modern copper wiring that meets current code and lasts decades. We also rewire during home purchases when inspectors flag the wiring, and during renovations when walls are already open and the timing is right.
When you call Pipes and Plugs for rewiring, you get a licensed Acadiana electrician who plans the project carefully, communicates throughout, and stands behind every connection. Most rewiring work is backed by our 5-year warranty.

House rewiring is the process of replacing some or all of your home's electrical wiring with new wire. Rewiring becomes necessary when older wiring is unsafe, no longer code-compliant, cannot handle modern electrical loads, or has deteriorated to the point where it creates fire or shock hazards. Common situations across Acadiana that require rewiring include homes with knob and tube wiring (used in homes built before the 1950s), aluminum wiring (common in homes built in the 1960s and 1970s), cloth-insulated wiring (used before modern plastic insulation became standard), homes with frequent breaker trips and flickering lights that indicate widespread wiring issues, and homes with failed electrical inspections during real estate transactions. Some older wiring types can also affect homeowner's insurance eligibility, which is why many Acadiana homeowners proactively rewire before issues come up.

Pipes and Plugs handles every type of rewiring project. Whole-home rewiring replaces all the wiring in your house at once, which makes the most sense when wiring is outdated throughout. Partial rewiring focuses on specific areas where wiring is unsafe while preserving still-safe circuits elsewhere, which is more cost-effective for homes with localized issues. We minimize wall and ceiling access by carefully planning each access point, and we partner with drywall and finish contractors when restoration work is needed. Every install meets current Louisiana electrical code with proper grounding, protection devices, and modern wire types.
Whether you need whole-home rewiring in New Iberia, knob and tube replacement in Lafayette, aluminum wiring replacement in Youngsville, partial rewiring in Broussard, or pre-purchase rewiring in Maurice, Pipes and Plugs is the team to call. Most rewiring work is backed by our 5-year warranty. Schedule online or call 337-364-2980 to get started.
