Burbank, known for its iconic media studios and warm Mediterranean climate, demands a robust and reliable electrical infrastructure. The consistent sunshine and summer highs that can reach 95°F place a significant, often overlooked, strain on aging electrical systems, making comprehensive electrical rewiring a crucial service for homeowners and businesses alike. Whether you’re in the charming streets of Magnolia Park, the bustling Media District, the expansive Rancho Equestrian area, or the scenic Hillside District, older homes and commercial properties might still be operating with original wiring that simply cannot cope with the modern electrical demands of today. This is especially true in Burbank where the mild winters mean that air conditioning systems are running for extended periods throughout the warmer months, drawing substantial power. Outdated wiring can lead to overloaded circuits, flickering lights, and worst of all, significant fire hazards. Armo Electric USA understands the unique electrical challenges presented by Burbank’s climate and its diverse architectural landscape, offering expert rewiring solutions designed to enhance safety, improve performance, and bring your property up to current National Electrical Code standards. Our commitment is to ensure that every electrical connection in your Burbank home or business is as resilient and efficient as the city itself.

Knob-and-tube (K&T) wiring was the standard electrical wiring method from the 1880s through the 1940s, and many older Burbank homes still have it. While K&T wiring that is undamaged and properly maintained can still function, there are serious concerns: it has no ground wire, it was designed for far lower electrical loads than modern homes require, the rubber insulation deteriorates over decades and becomes a fire hazard, and it becomes extremely dangerous when covered by modern blown-in insulation (which traps heat around the conductors).
Many insurance companies in California will not insure homes with active knob-and-tube wiring, or they charge significantly higher premiums. If you’re buying or selling a home in Burbank, K&T wiring will likely be flagged during the inspection. Armo Electric USA specializes in knob-and-tube replacement — we can rewire your home room by room, minimizing wall and ceiling damage, and bring your electrical system up to current NEC code standards.
Aluminum branch circuit wiring was widely used in homes built between 1965 and 1973 as a cheaper alternative to copper. Unfortunately, aluminum wiring has properties that make it a fire hazard: it expands and contracts more than copper with temperature changes, causing connections to loosen over time; it oxidizes when exposed to air, creating increased resistance at connection points; and it’s softer than copper, making it more prone to damage during installation.
According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), homes with aluminum wiring are 55 times more likely to have fire-hazard conditions at outlets and switches than homes wired with copper. For Burbank homeowners with aluminum wiring, there are two main remediation approaches: COPALUM crimp connectors — A permanent repair that uses a special tool to create a cold-weld connection between aluminum and copper pigtails. This is the CPSC-recommended method. AlumiConn connectors — An approved alternative that uses set-screw connectors to join aluminum to copper pigtails at every outlet, switch, and junction point. Both methods are far less expensive than complete rewiring while effectively eliminating the fire risk.
The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) reports that electrical failures cause an average of 46,700 home fires per year in the US, resulting in 390 deaths and $1.5 billion in property damage. Homes with outdated wiring — knob-and-tube, aluminum branch circuits, or cloth-insulated conductors — are significantly more likely to experience these fires. Burbank homes near the studios often need upgraded panels to handle modern entertainment equipment and home offices
For Burbank homeowners, the cost of rewiring is a fraction of the cost of fire damage — not to mention the irreplaceable value of protecting your family. Rewiring also dramatically improves your home’s functionality (more circuits, grounded outlets, proper GFCI/AFCI protection) and increases its market value. If you’re planning to sell your Burbank home, addressing known wiring issues before listing eliminates a major negotiation point and keeps your sale on track.

Many insurance companies in California charge higher premiums or decline coverage entirely for homes with knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring. Rewiring your Burbank home often results in lower insurance premiums that help offset the cost of the work over time. Some insurers require a rewire before they'll issue a policy.
Yes — modern rewiring techniques use attic and crawl space access, fish tapes, and strategic small openings to route new wiring with far less drywall damage than in the past. While some access holes are inevitable, they're small and we patch them after the work is complete.
Yes. If only certain circuits have problematic wiring (e.g., knob-and-tube in the attic but modern wiring elsewhere), we can replace just the affected circuits. For aluminum wiring, remediation with COPALUM or AlumiConn connectors at every connection point is often more practical than complete rewiring.
Look at the wiring visible in your panel, attic, or basement. Aluminum wire has a silver appearance (vs. copper's orange/brown). You may also see "AL" or "Aluminum" printed on the cable jacket. Homes built between 1965-1973 are most likely to have aluminum branch circuit wiring. If you're unsure, our electricians can identify it during a free inspection.
A complete rewire of a typical 3-bedroom Burbank home takes 5-7 days. The work involves removing old wiring, running new copper circuits through walls and ceilings, installing a new panel, and connecting all outlets, switches, and fixtures. We minimize wall openings and patch all access points.
