Your home’s wiring is tucked safely behind your walls, but that doesn’t mean it should be “out of sight, out of mind.” Over time, insulation becomes brittle, connections loosen, and outdated materials like knob and tube can become major fire risks. As we demand more power for our appliances and devices, older wiring systems are being pushed to their breaking point.
At Murphy Electric, we’ve been the Rogue Valley’s first choice for complex house rewiring projects since 1978. Whether you are buying an older home in Ashland, remodeling a kitchen in Medford, or just want a professional safety audit to know exactly where your home stands, our licensed team is here to protect your investment.
Whole-Home Rewiring: If your home was built before 1950, it may be time for a complete system overhaul. We replace outdated wiring with modern, grounded copper circuits.
Knob & Tube Replacement: Common in historic Ashland and East Medford, knob and tube wiring is ungrounded and a significant fire risk. We specialize in non-invasive replacement strategies.
Aluminum Wiring Remediation: If your home was built in the 1960s or 70s, you likely have aluminum wiring. We provide safe, code-compliant “AlumiConn” or “CO/ALR” pigtailing to prevent overheating at outlets and switches.
Kitchen & Bath Remodels: Modern codes require specific GFCI protection and dedicated circuits for heavy appliances. We ensure your remodel is 100% up to code.
Hot Tub & Pool Wiring: Safely powering your outdoor oasis with waterproof conduits and proper grounding.
Since 1978, we’ve protected Rogue Valley homes. Our licensed, bonded, and insured team brings 45+ years of hands-on expertise to every wire we pull.
No "surprise" bills or hidden fees. We provide clear, flat-rate quotes so you know the exact cost of your safety before we touch a single outlet.
We handle all permits and coordinate with local inspectors to ensure your wiring exceeds National Electrical Code (NEC) and Oregon safety standards.
Many older Rogue Valley homes — especially in Ashland and Jacksonville — still have knob-and-tube, cloth-insulated, or aluminum branch wiring. These systems weren’t built for modern loads and can be a fire and insurance problem. We assess what you have and replace it with safe, code-current copper wiring.
Warning signs include breakers that trip often, two-prong (ungrounded) outlets, flickering lights, warm or discolored switch plates, a faint burning smell, or simply a home built before the 1970s that has never been updated. If you’re seeing these, it’s worth an assessment before something fails.
In most cases you don’t have to move out. We work room by room, keeping power and comfort through the process, protecting your floors and furniture, and keeping a clean job site. We sequence the work so the most critical circuits stay live while we update the rest.
Rewiring requires a permit and inspection — we handle both. Many Oregon insurers will refuse to cover, or will surcharge, homes with active knob-and-tube or aluminum wiring, so an upgrade often lowers your premium and makes the home far easier to sell.
In most cases, no. We work room-by-room to ensure you have power and comfort throughout the process. Our team is trained to keep a clean workspace and protect your furniture and flooring.
While insurance rarely pays for the upgrade itself, many companies in Oregon will refuse to insure a home with active knob and tube. Upgrading your wiring often lowers your premiums and makes your home easier to sell.
Costs vary based on the square footage and accessibility (crawlspace vs. attic). We provide free, on-site assessments to give you an accurate, no-surprises quote.
