Whole-house rewiring in Bushwick, Brooklyn spans two very different worlds, and Brooklyn House Rewiring handles both. The neighborhood's older brownstone row houses still carry knob-and-tube that needs removing, while its converted multi-family homes and new construction need modern circuits and EV charging. We rewire in grounded copper, upgrade undersized panels to 200 amps, and add the dedicated circuits today's homes demand. Bushwick owners call us whether they are gutting an old row house or wiring up a new condo.
Bushwick pairs blocks of older brownstone and brick row houses with a large stock of converted multi-family buildings and new construction. The older homes were commonly wired with knob-and-tube on 60-amp services, while the conversions and new builds need modern panels, subpanels, and EV circuits. That split means a rewiring job here can be a knob-and-tube removal one week and a new-construction service the next.
The older brick and brownstone row houses in Bushwick still carry brittle, ungrounded knob-and-tube that insurers refuse. We fish grounded copper through the existing walls, remove the old conductors, and land everything on a modern panel. The finished wiring is fully grounded and up to code without gutting the home.
The converted multi-family buildings here need each unit's circuits separated, labeled, and served by properly sized panels. We rewire in grounded copper, install subpanels where units require them, and add GFCI and AFCI protection to code. The work is permitted and inspected so it satisfies the code and any future buyer or insurer.
Whether an old row house or a new build, modern loads outstrip an undersized panel. We upgrade the service to 200 amps, add dedicated circuits for kitchens and HVAC, and install Level 2 EV charging where the owner wants it. Everything is permitted and inspected so the new service is signed off correctly.
